When building web apps with multi-step registration processes or ecommerce with transactional processes, a stepper helps users keep track of the process and encourages them to reach the end.
The Stepper component, available free in Backendless Marketplace, is the perfect way to guide and inform users as the go through processes within your application.
These processes can range from a signup procedure, checkout process for a purchase, customer survey or form, or the steps for creating automations, just to name a few.
Steppers can be integral in keeping the user focused and coaxing them to complete the process because they can clearly see how far along they are and how far they have left to go.
Once you have placed your component, when you select it, you will see all of the available options (properties) for the component in the toolkit area. These are the default settings for the component that you can easily adjust.
Each of the available properties are described in the table below. For more information, such as Theme styles and event handlers, visit the Stepper GitHub repo.

When you click on the Logic icon or tab for the component, you will see the modifiable event handlers, just as you would with a standard component. However, the main logic for the component – the logic that makes it work – is hidden to protect it from accidentally being broken.
Additionally, in the Logic area, you will also find all available data binding properties.
That’s it! Ready to try it for yourself?

A snackbar or “toast” element is a message displayed to the user, usually on a temporary basis over a few seconds. It’s great for alerting the user to something without requiring any action. Think of a success message, a confirmation, or an error alert of some kind.
