What problem does it solve?
Provides a ready-made, configurable Stepper component to replace ad-hoc progress indicators and manual navigation logic, making it easy to implement multi-step workflows, wizards, and progress trackers with built-in validation and event handling.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Step configuration: define steps with labels, icons, text, cssClass, optional flags, disabled states, and validation (isValid).
- Navigation & control methods: programmatic APIs such as nextStep, previousStep, reset, dataBind, refresh, and refreshProgressbar.
- Events & validation: beforeStepRender, stepClick, stepChanging (cancelable), stepChanged, created for robust validation, analytics, and async loading.
- Layout & presentation: horizontal/vertical orientations, step types (default, label, indicator), label positions, templates, animations, and tooltip customization.
- Production concerns: localization (L10n), RTL support, accessibility (ARIA/keyboard), theme CSS integration, troubleshooting, and performance patterns.
- Use cases: checkout wizards, multi-page forms with per-step validation, onboarding flows, task/process trackers, and compact progress displays.
Quick Start
Create a Stepper with labeled steps and append it to a nav element with id stepper to render a basic four-step wizard.
