# \<stepper> Development

When multiple steps are required to complete a task, you can use the **\<stepper>** component to navigate your users through the whole process. For details, see [stepper](../reference/arkui-js/js-components-container-stepper.md).


> **NOTE**
>
> This component is supported since API version 5.


## Creating a \<stepper> Component

Create a **\<stepper>** component in the .hml file under **pages/index**.

```html
<!-- xxx.hml -->
<div class="container"> 
 <stepper>    
   <stepper-item>     
     <text>Step 1</text>
   </stepper-item> 
   <stepper-item>     
     <text>Step 2</text>
   </stepper-item> 
 </stepper> 
</div>
```

```css
/* xxx.css */
.container {
  width:100%;
  height:100%;
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  background-color: #F1F3F5;
}
text{
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  text-align: center;
}
```

## Setting the Index

Set **index** to the index value of the step that you want to display by default.

```html
<!-- xxx.hml -->
<div class="container"> 
 <stepper index="2">    
   <stepper-item>     
     <text>stepper-item1</text>
   </stepper-item> 
   <stepper-item>     
     <text>stepper-item2</text>
   </stepper-item> 
   <stepper-item>     
     <text>stepper-item3</text>
   </stepper-item> 
  </stepper> 
</div>
```

```css
/* xxx.css */
.container {
  width:100%;
  height:100%;
  flex-direction: column;
  background-color: #F1F3F5;
}
text{
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  text-align: center;
}
```

![en-us_image_0000001234011019](figures/en-us_image_0000001234011019.gif)

Set the **label** attribute to customize the label for the **\<stepper-item>**.

```html
<!-- xxx.hml -->
<div class="container"> 
 <stepper index="1">    
   <stepper-item label="{{label_1}}">     
     <text>stepper-item1</text>
   </stepper-item> 
   <stepper-item label="{{label_2}}">     
     <text>stepper-item2</text>
   </stepper-item> 
   <stepper-item label="{{label_3}}">     
     <text>stepper-item3</text>
   </stepper-item>
   <stepper-item>     
     <text>stepper-item4</text>
   </stepper-item> 
 </stepper> 
</div>
```

```css
/* xxx.css */
.container {  
  width:100%;
  height:100%;
  flex-direction: column;
  background-color: #F1F3F5;
}
text{
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  text-align: center;
}
```

```js
// xxx.js
export default { 
  data: {
    label_1:{
      nextLabel: 'NEXT',      
      status: 'normal'    
    },
    label_2:{
      prevLabel: 'BACK',
      nextLabel: 'NEXT',
      status: 'normal'
    },
    label_3:{
      prevLabel: 'BACK',
      nextLabel: 'END',
      status: 'disabled'
    },
  },
}
```

## Setting Styles

By default, the **\<stepper>** component fills entire space of its container. The sample code below shows how to set the border and background color using the **border** and **background-color** attributes.
```html
<!-- xxx.hml -->
<div class="container" > 
  <div class="stepperContent">
    <stepper class="stepperClass">    
      <stepper-item>     
        <text>stepper-item1</text>
      </stepper-item> 
    </stepper> 
  </div>
</div>
```

```css
/* xxx.css */
.container {
  width:100%;
  height:100%;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  background-color:#F1F3F5;
}
.stepperContent{
  width: 300px;
  height: 300px;
}
.stepperClass{
  border:1px solid silver ;
  background-color: white;
}
text{
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  text-align: center;
}
```

## Adding Events

The **\<stepper>** component supports the **finish**, **change**, **next**, **back**, and **skip** events.

- When the **change** and **next** or **back** events exist at the same time, the **next** or **back** event is executed before the **change** event.

- Before resetting the **index** attribute, you must remove the current value. Otherwise, the value change cannot be detected.

```html
<!-- xxx.hml -->
<div class="container"  style="background-color:#F1F3F5;">
  <div >
    <stepper onfinish="stepperFinish" onchange="stepperChange" onnext="stepperNext" onback="stepperBack" onskip="stepperSkip" id="stepperId" index="{{index}}">
      <stepper-item>
        <text>stepper-item1</text>
        <button value="skip" onclick="skipClick"></button>
      </stepper-item>
      <stepper-item>
         <text>stepper-item2</text>
         <button value="skip" onclick="skipClick"></button>
      </stepper-item>
      <stepper-item>
        <text>stepper-item3</text>
      </stepper-item>
    </stepper>
  </div>
</div>
```

```css
/* xxx.css */
.doc-page {
  width:100%;
  height:100%;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
}
stepper-item{
  width: 100%;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-self: center;
  justify-content: center;
}
text{
  margin-top: 45%;
  justify-content: center;
  align-self: center;
  margin-bottom: 50px;
}
button{
  width: 80%;
  height: 60px;
  margin-top: 20px;
}
```

```js
// xxx.js
import promptAction from '@ohos.promptAction';
export default {
  data: {
    index:0,
  },
   stepperSkip(){
    this.index = null;
    this.index=2;
  },
   skipClick(){
    this.$element('stepperId').setNextButtonStatus({status: 'skip', label: 'SKIP'});
  },
  stepperFinish(){
    promptAction.showToast({
      message: 'All Finished'
    })
  },
  stepperChange(e){
    console.log("stepperChange"+e.index)
    promptAction.showToast({
      // index indicates the sequence number of the current step.
      message: 'Previous step: '+e.prevIndex+"-------Current step:"+e.index
    })
  },
  stepperNext(e){
    console.log("stepperNext"+e.index)
    promptAction.showToast({
      // pendingIndex indicates the sequence number of the step to be redirected to.
      message: 'Current step:'+e.index+"-------Next step:"+e.pendingIndex
    })
    var index = {pendingIndex:e.pendingIndex }
    return index;
  },
  stepperBack(e){
    console.log("stepperBack"+e.index)
    var index = {pendingIndex: e.pendingIndex }
    return index;
  }
}
```

## Example Scenario

In this example, you can select the options displayed on the page and see how your selection takes effect in real time. Clicking the next button will dynamically change the font color and font size of the selected option.

Use a **\<stepper>** component to navigate through the steps. Create a **\<Toggle>**(../reference/arkui-js/js-components-basic-toggle.md) component to implement the functions of selecting an option and displaying the selection result. Then use the **\<Select>**(../reference/arkui-js/js-components-basic-select.md) component to dynamically change the font color or size of the selected option.

```html
<!-- xxx.hml -->
