# Stepper

A React component in [Beamline](https://beamline.io/)'s [Navigation](https://beamline.io/components/navigation) category. Live demo: https://beamline.io/components/stepper

Where someone is in a multi-step flow: done steps carry a check, the current one a ring, and the line between marks fills as steps complete.

## Use it for

- Multi-step flows such as onboarding or checkout.
- Stages of a record (deal stages) with onStepSelect.

## Not for

- Switching views ([tabs](https://beamline.io/components/tabs)).
- Progress of a background job ([progress](https://beamline.io/components/progress)).

## Anatomy

- list
- mark (number / check; a done mark is an accent solid, the current one an accent ring, upcoming a hairline ring)
- connector (between marks, never under them)
- label
- description (two lines at most)
- narrow caption (n/total, current label and description)
- status line

## Variants

- **orientation**: horizontal, vertical
- **details**: all, current
- **compact**: false, true

## States

- done
- current
- upcoming
- complete
- narrow horizontal (under ~480px, ~350px compact): marks only in the row, the current step said under it; names stay readable to screen readers

## Keyboard

- With onStepSelect each step is a button

## Motion

The connector fills over --pui-duration-considered (360 ms) on the standard ease; marks change paint on the look's transition. Reduced motion: instant.

## More in Navigation

- [Breadcrumb](https://beamline.io/components/breadcrumb): Where a page sits and the way back up; long paths keep the first and last two levels and fold the middle into a menu.
- [Menu bar](https://beamline.io/components/menubar): A desktop-style File / Edit / View bar for editor-like apps; each menu takes the same rows as the dropdown menu, and pointing moves between open menus.
- [Navigation menu](https://beamline.io/components/navigation-menu): A site or docs header whose sections open into one panel that resizes and slides between them; NavigationMenuCard is the standard link row.
- [Pagination](https://beamline.io/components/pagination): Moves through pages of a known length: first, last and the current page's neighbours, with an optional “41–60 of 468”; a phone shows “Page 6 of 24”.
- [Sidebar](https://beamline.io/components/sidebar): The app's main navigation: sections, items with counts and one level of sub-pages, an icon rail with tooltips (⌘B, the trigger or the edge), and a sheet…
- [Tabs](https://beamline.io/components/tabs): Switches between panels of one object; one indicator slides to the active tab, counts sit beside labels, and a long row scrolls instead of wrapping.
- [Tree view](https://beamline.io/components/tree-view): Nested folders and records with the full tree keyboard model (arrows, Home/End, *, type to jump), depth guides, counts and animated opening.
- [User menu](https://beamline.io/components/user-menu): The account menu behind the avatar: who is signed in, status, theme, account pages and sign out with progress; a bottom sheet on phones.
