Wizard

Overview​

Similar to tabs, you may want to use a multistep form wizard to reduce the number of components that are visible at once. These are especially useful if your form has a definite chronological order, in which you want each step to be validated as the user progresses.

use Filament\Forms\Components\Wizard;

Wizard::make([
Wizard\Step::make('Order')
->schema([
// ...
]),
Wizard\Step::make('Delivery')
->schema([
// ...
]),
Wizard\Step::make('Billing')
->schema([
// ...
]),
])
Wizard

We have different setup instructions if you're looking to add a wizard to the creation process inside a panel resource or an action modal. Following that documentation will ensure that the ability to submit the form is only available on the last step of the wizard.

Rendering a submit button on the last step​

You may use the submitAction() method to render submit button HTML or a view at the end of the wizard, on the last step. This provides a clearer UX than displaying a submit button below the wizard at all times:

use Filament\Forms\Components\Wizard;
use Illuminate\Support\HtmlString;

Wizard::make([
// ...
])->submitAction(view('order-form.submit-button'))

Wizard::make([
// ...
])->submitAction(new HtmlString('<button type="submit">Submit</button>'))

Alternatively, you can use the built-in Filament button Blade component:

use Filament\Forms\Components\Wizard;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Blade;
use Illuminate\Support\HtmlString;

Wizard::make([
// ...
])->submitAction(new HtmlString(Blade::render(<<<BLADE
<x-filament::button
type="submit"
size="sm"
>
Submit
</x-filament::button>
BLADE)))

You could use this component in a separate Blade view if you want.

Setting up step icons​

Steps may also have an icon, set using the icon() method:

use Filament\Forms\Components\Wizard;

Wizard\Step::make('Order')
->icon('heroicon-m-shopping-bag')
->schema([
// ...
]),
Wizard with step icons

Adding descriptions to steps​

You may add a short description after the title of each step using the description() method:

use Filament\Forms\Components\Wizard;

Wizard\Step::make('Order')
->description('Review your basket')
->schema([
// ...
]),
Wizard with step descriptions

Setting the default active step​

You may use the startOnStep() method to load a specific step in the wizard:

use Filament\Forms\Components\Wizard;

Wizard::make([
// ...
])->startOnStep(2)

Allowing steps to be skipped​

If you'd like to allow free navigation, so all steps are skippable, use the skippable() method:

use Filament\Forms\Components\Wizard;

Wizard::make([
// ...
])->skippable()

Persisting the current step in the URL's query string​

By default, the current step is not persisted in the URL's query string. You can change this behavior using the persistStepInQueryString() method:

use Filament\Forms\Components\Wizard;

Wizard::make([
// ...
])->persistStepInQueryString()

By default, the current step is persisted in the URL's query string using the step key. You can change this key by passing it to the persistStepInQueryString() method:

use Filament\Forms\Components\Wizard;

Wizard::make([
// ...
])->persistStepInQueryString('wizard-step')

Step lifecycle hooks​

You may use the afterValidation() and beforeValidation() methods to run code before and after validation occurs on the step:

use Filament\Forms\Components\Wizard;

Wizard\Step::make('Order')
->afterValidation(function () {
// ...
})
->beforeValidation(function () {
// ...
})
->schema([
// ...
]),

Using grid columns within a step​

You may use the columns() method to customize the grid within the step:

use Filament\Forms\Components\Wizard;

Wizard::make([
Wizard\Step::make('Order')
->columns(2)
->schema([
// ...
]),
// ...
])

Customizing the wizard action objects​

This component uses action objects for easy customization of buttons within it. You can customize these buttons by passing a function to an action registration method. The function has access to the $action object, which you can use to customize it. The following methods are available to customize the actions:

  • nextAction()
  • previousAction()

Here is an example of how you might customize an action:

use Filament\Forms\Components\Actions\Action;
use Filament\Forms\Components\Wizard;

Wizard::make([
// ...
])
->nextAction(
fn (Action $action) => $action->label('Next step'),
)
