Stepper

The Stepper component displays a wizard-like workflow by guiding users through the multi-step progression.

Import#


import { Stepper } from 'primereact/stepper';
import { StepperPanel } from 'primereact/stepperpanel';

Basic#

Stepper consists of one or more StepperPanel elements to encapsulate each step in the progress. The elements to navigate between the steps are not built-in for ease of customization, instead prevCallback and nextCallback events should be bound to your custom UI elements.
