Creating multi-step forms with React Stepzilla
Blog post from LogRocket
Web developers often face the challenge of collecting detailed user information without overwhelming the interface with lengthy forms, especially as Single Page Applications (SPAs) become more prevalent. This tutorial introduces React Stepzilla, a multi-step wizard component that facilitates sequential data collection, enhancing user experience by breaking forms into smaller, manageable steps that do not require new page loads. The guide walks through setting up a new React app, installing Stepzilla, and creating a multi-step form with components like About, Terms, and ConsentForm. Users are guided through setting up the app's structure, writing the necessary components, and implementing styling with Bootstrap to create a polished user interface. Additionally, the tutorial covers step validation using Stepzilla's isValidated utility function, ensuring that user inputs meet specified criteria before proceeding. The tutorial emphasizes how Stepzilla simplifies building multi-step components, improving UX by decluttering the UI and reducing load times, and offers a brief introduction to LogRocket for advanced React error tracking.
