Multi-Step Forms Multi-Step Forms
A multi-step form equals one step state, conditional rendering of the current step and a single form state that holds the data of every step. Each step validates locally before you may continue, the last step submits everything at once, and switching steps never loses what the user already typed. Keeping every field in one shared object is what makes the back button free: the step changes, but the data simply stays where it is and the user is free to correct an earlier answer.

ℹ️ Info The editor transpiles JSX to JavaScript and renders the real UI in a sandbox; components mount automatically — no manual render call needed.
📝 Syntax
const [step, setStep] = useState(0) // index of the current step
const [data, setData] = useState({}) // form data shared across steps
// conditionally render step number "step"; Back and Next only change stepReturns：No return value; this entry describes an encoding pattern rather than a function.
▶ Example
The example runs out of the box: it auto-renders when expanded, and edits take effect instantly.
Output：
"Next" only becomes available after a name is filled in on step 1; once a city is entered on step 2 the form can be submitted; the confirmation screen summarizes the data of both steps, and the step indicator stays visible at the bottom.💡 Key Points
