Laravel 9 Multi Step Form with Livewire Wizard Example

This quick and simple tutorial offers you a facile example of a multi-step using bootstrap wizard UI design in laravel app with livewire library.

Use to the following steps to implement multi-step form or form wizard in laravel 9 app with livewire:

  • Step 1: Install Laravel App
  • Step 2: Connecting App to Database
  • Step 3: Create Model & Migration For File using Artisan
  • Step 4: Install Livewire Package
  • Step 5: Create Form Wizard Components using Artisan
  • Step 6: Add Route For Livewire Form Wizard
  • Step 7: Create View File
  • Step 8: Run Development Server

Step 1: Install Laravel App

First run the following command in terminal to install laravel fresh app for laravel livewire form wizard or multi-step form app.

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravel-livewire

Now Go into the app:

cd laravel-livewire

Step 2: Configure Database Credentials

Open the .env file and add your database credentials such as database name, username equally important password:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=db name
DB_USERNAME=db user name
DB_PASSWORD=db password

Step 3: Create Model & Migration File

Next step, we need to execute the following command on terminal to generate model, migration file using the following command:

php artisan make:model Product -m

Add code in database/migrations/create_products_table.php:

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
  
class CreateProductcTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('products', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('name')->nullable();
            $table->longText('description')->nullable();
            $table->float('amount')->nullable();
            $table->boolean('status')->default(0);
            $table->integer('stock')->default(0);
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }
  
    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('products');
    }
}

Next, open command prompt and execute the following command to create the table into database:

php artisan migrate

Place the below code in app/Models/Product.php file:

<?php
  
namespace App\Models;
  
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
  
class Product extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;
 
    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'name', 'amount', 'description', 'status', 'stock'
    ];
}

Step 4: Install Livewire Package

Use the composer command to install livewire library in laravel app:

In this step, we need to install livewire package to laravel project using the following command:

composer require livewire/livewire

Step 5: Create Form Wizard Components using Command

Go to console run the artisan command to create the livewire components:

php artisan make:livewire wizard

The above command generated two files on the following path:

app/Http/Livewire/Wizard.php
resources/views/livewire/wizard.php

Go ahead and place the below code in the app/Http/Livewire/Wizard.php file:

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Livewire;
  
use Livewire\Component;
use App\Models\Product;
  
class Wizard extends Component
{
    public $currentStep = 1;
    public $name, $amount, $description, $status = 1, $stock;
    public $successMessage = '';
  
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function render()
    {
        return view('livewire.wizard');
    }
  
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function firstStepSubmit()
    {
        $validatedData = $this->validate([
            'name' => 'required|unique:products',
            'amount' => 'required|numeric',
            'description' => 'required',
        ]);
 
        $this->currentStep = 2;
    }
  
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function secondStepSubmit()
    {
        $validatedData = $this->validate([
            'stock' => 'required',
            'status' => 'required',
        ]);
  
        $this->currentStep = 3;
    }
  
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function submitForm()
    {
        Product::create([
            'name' => $this->name,
            'amount' => $this->amount,
            'description' => $this->description,
            'stock' => $this->stock,
            'status' => $this->status,
        ]);
  
        $this->successMessage = 'Product Created Successfully.';
  
        $this->clearForm();
  
        $this->currentStep = 1;
    }
  
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function back($step)
    {
        $this->currentStep = $step;    
    }
  
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function clearForm()
    {
        $this->name = '';
        $this->amount = '';
        $this->description = '';
        $this->stock = '';
        $this->status = 1;
    }
}

Next, open resources/views/livewire/wizard.blade.php file, add the following code:

<div>
   
@if(!empty($successMessage))
<div class="alert alert-success">
   {{ $successMessage }}
</div>
@endif
  
<div class="stepwizard">
    <div class="stepwizard-row setup-panel">

    </div>
</div>
  
    <div class="row setup-content {{ $currentStep != 1 ? 'displayNone' : '' }}" id="step-1">
        <div class="col-xs-12">
            <div class="col-md-12">
                <h3> Step 1</h3>

                    <input type="text" wire:model="name" class="form-control" id="taskTitle">
                    @error('name') <span class="error">{{ $message }}</span> @enderror
                </div>

                <button class="btn btn-primary nextBtn btn-lg pull-right" wire:click="firstStepSubmit" type="button" >Next</button>

    <div class="row setup-content {{ $currentStep != 2 ? 'displayNone' : '' }}" id="step-2">
        <div class="col-xs-12">
            <div class="col-md-12">
                <h3> Step 2</h3>
  
                <div class="form-group">
                    <label for="description">Product Status</label><br/>
                    <label class="radio-inline"><input type="radio" wire:model="status" value="1" {{{ $status == '1' ? "checked" : "" }}}> Active</label>
                    <label class="radio-inline"><input type="radio" wire:model="status" value="0" {{{ $status == '0' ? "checked" : "" }}}> DeActive</label>
                    @error('status') <span class="error">{{ $message }}</span> @enderror

            <div class="col-md-12">
                <h3> Step 3</h3>
  
                <table class="table">
                    <tr>
                        <td>Product Name:</td>
                        <td><strong>{{$name}}</strong></td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                        <td>Product Amount:</td>
                        <td><strong>{{$amount}}</strong></td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                        <td>Product status:</td>
                        <td><strong>{{$status ? 'Active' : 'DeActive'}}</strong></td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                        <td>Product Description:</td>
                        <td><strong>{{$description}}</strong></td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                        <td>Product Stock:</td>
                        <td><strong>{{$stock}}</strong></td>
                    </tr>
                </table>
  
                <button class="btn btn-success btn-lg pull-right" wire:click="submitForm" type="button">Finish!</button>
                <button class="btn btn-danger nextBtn btn-lg pull-right" type="button" wire:click="back(2)">Back</button>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Next, add custom styling in multi-step form. So create a public/wizard.css file and add the following code:

body{ 
    margin-top:40px; 
}
.stepwizard-step p {
    margin-top: 10px;
}
.stepwizard-row {
    display: table-row;
}
.stepwizard {
    display: table;
    width: 100%;
    position: relative;
}
.stepwizard-step button[disabled] {
    opacity: 1 !important;
    filter: alpha(opacity=100) !important;
}
.stepwizard-row:before {
    top: 14px;
    bottom: 0;
    position: absolute;
    content: " ";
    width: 100%;
    height: 1px;
    background-color: #ccc;
    z-order: 0;
}
.stepwizard-step {
    display: table-cell;
    text-align: center;
    position: relative;
}
.btn-circle {
  width: 30px;
  height: 30px;
  text-align: center;
  padding: 6px 0;
  font-size: 12px;
  line-height: 1.428571429;
  border-radius: 15px;
}
.displayNone{
  display: none;
}

Step 6: Make Route For Livewire Form Wizard

Open routes/web.php file and define the route to access the multistep form from view:

<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
*/
Route::get('wizard', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});

Step 7: Render Multi-step Form in Blade View

Add below code in resources/views/welcome.blade.php file:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Laravel Livewire Example - codingdriver.com</title>
    @livewireStyles
    <script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <link href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" id="bootstrap-css">
    <script src="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
  
    <link href="{{ asset('wizard.css') }}" rel="stylesheet" id="bootstrap-css">
</head>
<body>
    
<div class="container">
    
    <div class="card">
      <div class="card-header">
        Laravel Livewire Wizard Form Example - codingdriver.com
      </div>
      <div class="card-body">
        <livewire:wizard />
      </div>
    </div>
        
</div>
    
</body>
 
@livewireScripts
  
</html>

Step 8: Run Development Server

Finally, we need to run the following PHP artisan serve command to start laravel livewire form wizard or multi step form app:

php artisan serve
If we want to run the project diffrent port so use this below command 
php artisan serve --port=8080  

Now, we are ready to run laravel livewire form wizard app. So open browser and hit the following URL into browser:

http://localhost:8000/wizard
