How to use it
HTML markup
Include the CSS file:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="bs-stepper.min.css">
Add the following HTML:
<div class="bs-stepper">
<div class="bs-stepper-header" role="tablist">
<!-- your steps here -->
<div class="step" data-target="#logins-part">
<button type="button" class="step-trigger" role="tab" aria-controls="logins-part" id="logins-part-trigger">
<span class="bs-stepper-circle">1</span>
<span class="bs-stepper-label">Logins</span>
</button>
</div>
<div class="line"></div>
<div class="step" data-target="#information-part">
<button type="button" class="step-trigger" role="tab" aria-controls="information-part" id="information-part-trigger">
<span class="bs-stepper-circle">2</span>
<span class="bs-stepper-label">Various information</span>
</button>
</div>
</div>
<div class="bs-stepper-content">
<!-- your steps content here -->
<div id="logins-part" class="content" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="logins-part-trigger"></div>
<div id="information-part" class="content" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="information-part-trigger"></div>
</div>
</div>
- If you want to use the
fade
animation, add the.fade
class on your.content
and setanimation
totrue
. - To create a vertical stepper, just add the
.vertical
class on your stepper. All steppers will switch to vertical on small viewports.
JavaScript
Include the script before the end of the <body>
HTML tag:
<script src="bs-stepper.min.js"></script>
Or with npm
import Stepper from 'bs-stepper'
Create a stepper
You should wait for the document ready event and create a new instance of Stepper
.
Vanilla JS
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
var stepper = new Stepper(document.querySelector('.bs-stepper'))
})
With jQuery
$(document).ready(function () {
var stepper = new Stepper($('.bs-stepper')[0])
})
For more examples check out this file.
This library is UMD-ready so you can use it everywhere.

next
Will navigate to the next step of your stepper. This method also emits the show.bs-stepper
event before showing the step and the shown.bs-stepper
even when the step is displayed.
var stepper = new Stepper(document.querySelector('.bs-stepper'))
stepper.next()
previous
Will navigate to the previous step of your stepper. This method also emits the show.bs-stepper
event before showing the step and the shown.bs-stepper
event when the step is displayed.
to
Will navigate to a step of your stepper. This method also emits the show.bs-stepper
event
before showing the step and the shown.bs-stepper
event when the step is displayed.
var stepper = new Stepper(document.querySelector('.bs-stepper'))
/// Will navigate to the second step
stepper.to(2)
reset
Will reset your stepper to the first step (useful for linear stepper). This method also emits
the show.bs-stepper
before showing the step and the shown.bs-stepper
event when the step is displayed.
destroy
Remove stored data related to your stepper and listeners.
Events
The methods which triggers a step change trigger two events:
show.bs-stepper
shown.bs-stepper
You can listen on those events like this:
var stepperEl = document.getElementById('stepper')
var stepper = new Stepper(stepperEl)
stepperEl.addEventListener('show.bs-stepper', function (event) {
// You can call preventDefault to stop the rendering of your step
// event.preventDefault()
console.warn(event.detail.indexStep)
})
stepperEl.addEventListener('shown.bs-stepper', function (event) {
console.warn('step shown')
})
The event detail
object contains the following properties:
{
indexStep: contains the id of the step which will be displayed,
to: alias of indexStep,
from: previous step id (or current step id)
}
If you need to prevent the display of a step, you have to call preventDefault
on the show.bs-stepper
listener.
