Overview
Similar to tabs, you may want to use a multistep form wizard to reduce the number of components that are visible at once. These are especially useful if your form has a definite chronological order, in which you want each step to be validated as the user progresses.We have different setup instructions if you’re looking to add a wizard to the creation process inside a panel resource or an action modal. Following that documentation will ensure that the ability to submit the form is only available on the last step of the wizard.
Rendering a submit button on the last step
You may use thesubmitAction() method to render submit button HTML or a view at the end of the wizard, on the last step. This provides a clearer UX than displaying a submit button below the wizard at all times:
Setting up step icons
Steps may also have an icon, set using theicon() method:
Customizing the icon for completed steps
You may customize the icon of a completed step using thecompletedIcon() method:
Adding descriptions to steps
You may add a short description after the title of each step using thedescription() method:
Setting the default active step
You may use thestartOnStep() method to load a specific step in the wizard:
Allowing steps to be skipped
If you’d like to allow free navigation, so all steps are skippable, use theskippable() method:
Persisting the current step in the URL’s query string
By default, the current step is not persisted in the URL’s query string. You can change this behavior using thepersistStepInQueryString() method:
step key. You can change this key by passing it to the persistStepInQueryString() method:
Step lifecycle hooks
You may use theafterValidation() and beforeValidation() methods to run code before and after validation occurs on the step:
Preventing the next step from being loaded
InsideafterValidation() or beforeValidation(), you may throw Filament\Support\Exceptions\Halt, which will prevent the wizard from loading the next step:
Using grid columns within a step
You may use thecolumns() method to customize the grid within the step:
Customizing the wizard action objects
This component uses action objects for easy customization of buttons within it. You can customize these buttons by passing a function to an action registration method. The function has access to the$action object, which you can use to customize it. The following methods are available to customize the actions:
