React Stepper

A fully customizable ready to use stepper UI package for React. Try tweaking a stepper using this codesandbox link here

Installation

The easiest way to use react-stepper-ui-component is to install it from npm and build it into your app with Webpack.

npm install  @keyvaluesystems/react-stepper

You’ll need to install React separately since it isn't included in the package.

Note for Next.js users, if you are using Next.js version 13 or later, you will have to use the use client feature to ensure proper compatibility.

Usage

React Stepper can run in a very basic mode by just providing the steps and currentStepIndex props like this:

<Stepper
  steps={[
    {
      stepLabel: "Step 1",
      stepDescription: "This is Step 1",
      completed: true,
    },
    {
      stepLabel: "Step 2",
      stepDescription: "This is Step 2",
      completed: false,
    },
    {
      stepLabel: "Step 3",
      stepDescription: "This is Step 3",
      completed: false,
    },
  ]}
  currentStepIndex={1}
/>

The steps array is an array of objects with following keys:

• stepLabel - A mandatory string representing the label/title of the step.
• stepDescription - Optional extra information or description for the step.
• completed - Boolean flag for indicating step completion status.

You can customize each step node with your own DOM element using the renderNode prop

<Stepper
  steps={stepsArray}
  currentStepIndex={currentStepIndex}
  renderNode={(step, stepIndex) => <div key={stepIndex}>{step.stepLabel}</div>}
/>

The step param provided by the renderNode callback is the same object you pass as array item in steps prop.

Props

Props that can be passed to the component are listed below:

Prop	Description	Default
steps: object[]	An array of step objects to render.	undefined
currentStepIndex: number	The index of current active step.	0
onStepClick?: (step: object, stepIndex: number): void	A step click handler that fires each time you click on a step.	undefined
renderNode?: (step: object, stepIndex: number): ReactElement	A render function to customize each step node with your own element.	undefined
orientation?: 'horizontal' | 'vertical'	Determines the layout of the stepper.	vertical
labelPosition?: 'left' | 'right' | 'top' | 'bottom'	Allows you to align step label and description with respect to its node	right
showDescriptionsForAllSteps boolean	A boolean prop specifying whether to show descriptions for all steps within the stepper.	false
stepContent(step: object, stepIndex: number): ReactElement	Prop that allows for dynamic content display when the step is active	undefined
styles?: object	Provides you with a bunch of callback functions to override the default styles.	undefined

Style Customizations

All the default styles provided by this package can be overridden using the styles prop Below code shows how to override the default styles of completed steps, connector lines and current active step

import React from "react";
import Stepper from "react-stepper";

function App() {

  const styles = {
    LineSeparator: () => ({
      backgroundColor: "#028A0F",
    }),
    ActiveNode: () => ({
      backgroundColor: "#028A0F",
    }),
    CompletedNode: () => ({
      backgroundColor: "#028A0F",
  };

  return (
    <Stepper
      steps={stepsArray}
      currentStepIndex={currentStepIndex}
      styles={styles}
    />
  );
}

export default App;

Additional customizations can be made by overriding the customizable styles listed below:

const stylesOverride = {
    LabelTitle: (step, stepIndex) => ({ ...styles }),
    ActiveLabelTitle: (step, stepIndex) => ({ ...styles }),
    LabelDescription: (step, stepIndex) => ({ ...styles }),
    ActiveLabelDescription: (step, stepIndex) => ({ ...styles }),
    LineSeparator: (step, stepIndex) => ({ ...styles }),
    InactiveLineSeparator: (step, stepIndex) => ({ ...styles }),
    Node: (step, stepIndex) => ({ ...styles }),
    ActiveNode: (step, stepIndex) => ({ ...styles }),
    InActiveNode: (step, stepIndex) => ({ ...styles }),
  };

• LabelTitle - overrides the step label style
• ActiveLabelTitle - overrides the step label style of current active step
• LabelDescription - overrides the step description style
• ActiveLabelDescription - overrides the step description style of current active step
• LineSeparator - overrides default completed step connector line styles
• InactiveLineSeparator - overrides styles of step connector line after current active step
• Node - overrides default styles of step indicator
• ActiveNode - overrides default styles of step indicator of current active step
• InActiveNode - overrides default styles of step indicator that is not completed and not active
• CompletedNode - overrides default styles of completed step indicator
