The more organized and out-of-the-box for Wizard Component from the Vurian project, written in TypeScript and using XState.
📚 Documentation: https://vurianjs.netlify.app
🎮 Playground: TBD
💻 Demo: TBD
An example of how to define and use the component as shown below:
In the script we will need to define the wizard context, with any data related to the general flow of the wizard per need. However, you need to initialize at least 2 fields: completedSteps and currentView
In the example below we define a wizard with shipping, paymentMethod, cart, shippingMethod, billing and a flag for agreeToTerms as the common data needed for a checkout wizard.
<script setup>
const context = {
completedSteps: [],
cart: [],
shipping: {
address: '',
phone: '',
email: '',
id: ''
},
shippingMethod: '',
billing: {
address: '',
},
agreeToTerms: false,
paymentMethod: ''
}
</script>Now let's pass the configuration of the steps (or states) for the wizard to handle. For each step, it's essential to provide the following:
id- id of the state.title- title of the state to display on the progress flow in the wizard header.stepView- this is the component to render for the relevant state.order- order of appearance of the state in the flow. This will be used to initialize which state to go next/prev.
The states is an object contains all the steps needed, following the above format, as seen below:
const states = {
review: {
title: 'Review',
id: 'review',
stepView: ReviewCart,
order: 0,
meta: {
description: 'Review your cart',
},
}
}If you wish to add internal events such as updating shipping address, payment method, etc, you can create your own events by using the property on. However, to handle updating any context data of the wizard will require using assign function from xstate.
Below is the example of the configuration for step/state shipping in states
const states = {
/*...*/
shipping: {
title: 'Shipping',
id: 'shipping',
stepView: Shipping,
order: 1,
on: {
//event to update address to be triggered inside Shipping component
UPDATE_ADDRESS: {
actions: assign({
shipping: (_, event) => event.address
}),
meta: {
description: 'Provide shipping address'
}
},
//event to update shipping method to be triggered inside Shipping component
SELECT_METHOD: {
actions: assign({
shippingMethod: (_, event) => event.method
}),
meta: {
description: 'Select shipping method'
}
},
},
},
}If it is the final step, and you don't wish to enable the prev button, you can set state.type to final.
By default next/prev is handled automatically without being defined in the state configuration. However, in certain case you wish to add condition to enable/disable the next/prev functionality (as a step guard), such as in payment it is a must to complete the payment method and agreeing to the T&C.
In this scenario you can use on.NEXT.cond and define the method to trigger for validation.
const states = {
/*...*/
payment: {
title: 'Payment',
id: 'payment',
stepView: Payment,
order: 3,
on: {
/*...*/
NEXT: {
cond: 'isAgreeToTerm'
}
}
},
}The actual method implementation should be provide in step 3 below - define options.
Options are the external configurations to setup for the wizard, based on Xstate options. It can receive guards, actions, delays, activities, and services.
In our example we will set the guard validation for NEXT event in Payment Step.
const options= {
guards: {
isAgreeToTerm: (ctx) => ctx.agreeToTerms && !!ctx.paymentMethod,
}
}Upon user reaches to Payment step, the Next button will be disabled until user fulfills all the inputs required (agreedToTerms and paymentMethod). Out of the box!
We can also pass an event handler to the wizard to trigger when all the steps is completed.
const onComplete = async() => {
//redirecting to home page
}Two last configuration props we need to initialize is id and initial as id is required to create wizard state machine, and initial defines the first step for the wizard to start from.
initial can be the key of the state defined in states, or the id of that state.
const id = "checkout"
const initial = "review", //start with the review stepAnd finally, we need to pass those variables to the VrWizard component.
<template>
<VrWizard
:options="options"
:id="id"
:context="context"
:states="states"
:initial="initial"
:onComplete="onComplete"
title="My Vurian Checkout Wizard"
description="Just checking out"
/>
</template>And the full code will look something similar to the below code:
<script setup>
import VrWizard from '@vurian/wizard';
import ReviewCart from './components/Steps/ReviewCart.vue';

import { assign } from "xstate";
const config = {

},

A video will come soon.
You can also visualize your steps by using the visualizer from Stately (just need to define the next/prev yourself). There is plan for component visualizer to be coming soon :)!
