Wizard

A wizard provides a guided workflow that offers a path to complete a task, create an object or objects, or finish a series of steps for some other outcome. Wizards should incite trust in the user and guide them through an otherwise overwhelming experience.

A newer React implementation of the wizard will replace the existing implementation at the next major release. The documentation for the newer implementation is under the React next tab, and this newer implementation can be imported from @patternfly/react-core/next.

If you seek a wizard solution that allows for more composition, see the React next tab.

Examples

Basic

Step 1 content

Basic with disabled steps

Step 1 content

Anchors for nav items

Step 1: Read about PF3

Incrementally enabled steps

Step 1 content

Expandable steps

Substep A content

Enabled on form validation

Step 1 content

Validate on button press

This example demonstrates how to use the WizardContextConsumer to consume the WizardContext. WizardContext can be used to imperatively move to a specific wizard step.

The definition of the WizardContext is as follows:

interface WizardContext { goToStepById: (stepId: number | string) => void; goToStepByName: (stepName: string) => void; onNext: () => void; onBack: () => void; onClose: () => void; activeStep: WizardStep; }
