Installation

Getting started with Stepperize is straightforward. You can install it using npm:

npm install @stepperize/react

Examples

Stepperize offers a simple yet powerful API for defining and managing your workflow steps. Here's a quick example to illustrate its usage:

First, import defineStepper and define your steps:

import { defineStepper } from "@stepperize/react";

const { Scoped, useStepper, steps, utils } = defineStepper(
  { id: "step-1", title: "Step 1", description: "Description for step 1" },
  { id: "step-2", title: "Step 2", description: "Description for step 2" },
  { id: "step-3", title: "Step 3", description: "Description for step 3" },
  { id: "step-4", title: "Step 4", description: "Description for step 4" }
);

Then, use the useStepper hook within your React components to control and display the current step:

function StepperComponent() {
  const { currentStep, nextStep, prevStep } = useStepper();

  return (
    <div>
      <h2>{currentStep.title}</h2>
      <p>{currentStep.description}</p>
      <button onClick={prevStep}>Previous</button>
      <button onClick={nextStep}>Next</button>
    </div>
  );
}
