Install

npm install react-step-wizard

Import Component

import StepWizard from "react-step-wizard";

JSX Syntax

Simply create a wrapper with <StepWizard></StepWizard> and each child component will be treated as an individual step.

<StepWizard>
  <Step1 />
  <Step2 />
  ...
  <Step5 />
  <WhateverComponentName />
</StepWizard>

Props

I wanted this step wizard to be as flexible as possible so each child has access to the StepWizard functions via this.props

For example:

<div>
  <!-- Variables -->
  <h2>Step {this.props.currentStep}</h2>
  <p>Total Steps: {this.props.totalSteps}</p>
  <p>Is Active: {this.props.isActive}</p>
  <!-- Functions -->
  <p><button onClick={this.props.previousStep}>Previous Step</button></p>
  <p><button onClick={this.props.nextStep}>Next Step</button></p>
  <p><button onClick={()=>this.props.goToStep(2)}>Step 2</button></p>
  <p><button onClick={this.props.firstStep}>First Step</button></p>
  <p><button onClick={this.props.lastStep}>Last Step</button></p>
</div>

User-Defined Props

Prop	Data Type	Default	Description
hashKey	string	step{n}	Prop on child component to use when updating URL hash. Corresponds with isHashEnabled.
initialStep	integer	1
instance	function		Provides an instance of StepWizard to control from anywhere in your app
isHashEnabled	bool	false	Persists the current step in the URL (hash)
isLazyMount	boolean	false	Only mounts the child component when isActive is true
nav	node		Create a custom navigation component to include in the wizard
onStepChange	function		Callback for step change
transitions	object		CSS classes for transitioning between steps

Props Accessible On Each Child (Step) Component

Prop	Data Type	Parameters
isActive	boolean
currentStep	integer
totalSteps	integer
firstStep	function
lastStep	function
nextStep	function
previousStep	function
goToStep	function	integer : goToStep(3)
goToStep	function	string : goToStep('step3')
goToNamedStep	function	string : goToNamedStep('contact')

Navigation

If you wish to include a navigation in your wizard you have the flexibility to create one however you want. All the props available to the steps will also be provided to your nav component.

Position: By default the nav will be added to the top. If you want it on the bottom I suggest adding a class to the StepWizard component with flex-direction: column-reverse. That's just one solution.

Be sure to pass your component in JSX syntax like this:

import CoolNav from "./CoolNav";

<StepWizard nav={<CoolNav />}>...</StepWizard>;

Transitions

The default transitions are using CSS taken from animate.css. You can override the transitions by passing in custom CSS classes to the transitions prop in <StepWizard>.

let custom = {
  enterRight: 'your custom css transition classes',
  enterLeft : 'your custom css transition classes',
  exitRight : 'your custom css transition classes',
  exitLeft  : 'your custom css transition classes'
}
<StepWizard transitions={custom}>...</StepWizard>

Initial Step

The order of your steps in JSX will be loaded in the same order in the browser. However, you may specify which step to start on page load by using the initialStep prop. It accepts a numeric value corresponding to the step order.

<StepWizard initialStep={3}>...</StepWizard>

Persist Step In URL

An example of how isHashEnabled and hashKey work together:

<StepWizard isHashEnabled={true}>
  <BasicInfo hashKey={"basic"} /> // https://domain.com/#basic
  <ContactInfo hashKey={"contact"} /> // https://domain.com/#contact
  <TermsConditions /> // https://domain.com/#step3
</StepWizard>

As you can see, the hashKey corresponds with the url hash and will be updated when the step becomes active. The hashKey defaults to step{n}. If isHashEnabled is false then the url hash, or hashKey, will not be used.

When isHashEnabled is true, goToStep accepts a hashKey as an argument

Use named steps

If we don't need to use hash keys and just simply want to switch steps by their names we can use use stepName.

<StepWizard>
  <BasicInfo stepName={"basic"} />
  <ContactInfo stepName={"contact"} />
  <TermsConditions /> // step3
</StepWizard>

Now we can use goToNamedStep and set stepName as an argument
