How to create Stepper in React?

Introduction

In this article, I will guide you through the process of adding a Stepper in React.js.

Prerequisites of React

• Familiarity with HTML and JavaScript.
• node.js installed
• Basic knowledge of React JS
• Visual Studio Code

Create React Project

To create a React app, use the following command in the terminal.

npx create-react-app matui

JavaScript

Copy

Open the newly created project in Visual Studio Code, and install Material-UI; run the following command in your React project's root directory.

npm install @material-ui/core

JavaScript

Copy

Now right-click on the src folder and create a new component named 'Stepperdemo.js'. Import the following component from Material UI in the Stepperdemo.js file.

import Box from '@mui/material/Box';
import Stepper from '@mui/material/Stepper';
import Step from '@mui/material/Step';
import StepLabel from '@mui/material/StepLabel';
import Button from '@mui/material/Button';
import Typography from '@mui/material/Typography';

JavaScript

Copy

Now, add the following code in the Stepperdemo.js file.

import * as React from 'react';
import Box from '@mui/material/Box';
import Stepper from '@mui/material/Stepper';
import Step from '@mui/material/Step';
import StepLabel from '@mui/material/StepLabel';
import Button from '@mui/material/Button';
import Typography from '@mui/material/Typography';

const steps = ['Select Page 1', 'Select Page 2', 'Select Page 3'];

export default function Stepperdemo() {
  const [activeStep, setActiveStep] = React.useState(0);
  const [skipped, setSkipped] = React.useState(new Set());

  const isStepOptional = (step) => {
    return step === 1;
  };

  const isStepSkipped = (step) => {
    return skipped.has(step);
  };

  const handleNext = () => {
    let newSkipped = skipped;
    if (isStepSkipped(activeStep)) {
      newSkipped = new Set(newSkipped.values());
      newSkipped.delete(activeStep);
    }

    setActiveStep((prevActiveStep) => prevActiveStep + 1);
    setSkipped(newSkipped);
  };

  const handleBack = () => {
    setActiveStep((prevActiveStep) => prevActiveStep - 1);
  };

  const handleSkip = () => {
    if (!isStepOptional(activeStep)) {
      throw new Error("You can't skip a step that isn't optional.");
    }

    setActiveStep((prevActiveStep) => prevActiveStep + 1);
    setSkipped((prevSkipped) => {
      const newSkipped = new Set(prevSkipped.values());
      newSkipped.add(activeStep);
      return newSkipped;
    });
  };

  const handleReset = () => {
    setActiveStep(0);
  };

  return (
    <Box sx={{ width: '100%' }}>
      <Stepper activeStep={activeStep}>
        {steps.map((label, index) => {
          const stepProps = {};
          const labelProps = {};

          if (isStepSkipped(index)) {
            stepProps.completed = false;
          }
          return (
            <Step key={label} {...stepProps}>
              <StepLabel {...labelProps}>{label}</StepLabel>
            </Step>
          );
        })}
      </Stepper>
      {activeStep === steps.length ? (
        <React.Fragment>
          <Typography sx={{ mt: 2, mb: 1 }}>
            All steps completed - you&apos;re finished
          </Typography>
          <Box sx={{ display: 'flex', flexDirection: 'row', pt: 2 }}>
            <Box sx={{ flex: '1 1 auto' }} />
            <Button onClick={handleReset}>Reset</Button>
          </Box>
        </React.Fragment>
      ) : (
        <React.Fragment>
          <Typography sx={{ mt: 2, mb: 1 }}>Step {activeStep + 1}</Typography>
          <Box sx={{ display: 'flex', flexDirection: 'row', pt: 2 }}>
            <Button
              color="inherit"
              disabled={activeStep === 0}
              onClick={handleBack}
              sx={{ mr: 1 }}
            >
              Back
            </Button>
            <Box sx={{ flex: '1 1 auto' }} />
            {isStepOptional(activeStep) && (
              <Button color="inherit" onClick={handleSkip} sx={{ mr: 1 }}>
                Skip
              </Button>
            )}

            <Button onClick={handleNext}>
              {activeStep === steps.length - 1 ? 'Finish' : 'Next'}
            </Button>
          </Box>
        </React.Fragment>
      )}
    </Box>
  );
}

JavaScript

Copy

In the above code, we have created a function to add the step. When click on the next button handlenext function is called. if we want to reset the steps, then handle reset function called to reset the steps+``

Now, import the Snackbardemo component in the src/App.js file.

import './App.css';
import Stepperdemo from './Stepperdemo'
function App() {
  return (
    <div className="App">
      <Stepperdemo/>
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

JavaScript

Copy

Run the project using the 'npm start' command and check the result.

This article provides a step-by-step guide on creating Stepper in React applications using the Material UI library.
