Today’s tutorial is about a multistep form with Tailwind CSS and Alpinejs. Let’s get to know why we need this form and how to create it.
A multistep form is a form that has multiple steps, each with its own set of fields and validation rules. It’s commonly used in forms that require more than one step to complete, such as a wizard or a registration form.
This is the structure of the project: Understanding the code:
<div x-show="step === 1">
: This is the content of the first step.hx-model="formData.name"tml
This is the input field for the name.hx-model="formData.email"
This is the input field for the email.<button @click="step++">Next</button>
This is the button that moves to the next step.x-show="step === 2"
: This is the content of the second step.hx-model="formData.username"
This is the input field for the username.hx-model="formData.password"
This is the input field for the password.<button @click="step--">Previous</button>
This is the button that moves to the previous step.<button @click="step++">Next</button>
This is the button that moves to the next step.x-show="step === 3"
: This is the content of the third step.<p>Name: <span x-text="formData.name"></span></p>
This is the paragraph that displays the name.<p>Email: <span x-text="formData.email"></span></p>
This is the paragraph that displays the email.<p>Username: <span x-text="formData.username"></span></p>
This is the paragraph that displays the username.<button @click="step--">Previous</button>
This is the button that moves to the previous step.<button @click="step++">Next</button>
This is the button that moves to the next step.Classes are removed for brevity, but I’ll keep those classes relevant to the tutorial.
<div>
<div
x-data="{ step: 1, formData: { name: '', email: '', username: '', password: '' } }">
<!-- Step 1 -->
<div x-show="step === 1">
<h2>

<div>
<button
@click="step--"

<button
@click="step++"

</div>
</div>
<!-- Step 3 -->
<div x-show="step === 3">
<h2>Step 3: Confirmation</h2>
<div>
<p>
Name: <span x-text="formData.name"></span>
</p>
<p>
Email: <span x-text="formData.email"></span>
</p>
<p>
Username: <span x-text="formData.username"></span>
</p>
</div>
<!-- Add more fields as needed -->
<div>
<button
@click="step--"
>Previous</button
>
<button
>Submit</button
>
</div>

This is a multistep form that can be used to collect information from the user. It can be used for anything from personal information to account information or a how to guide. Remember that before using this code you will have to make it accessible to your users by adding the necessary HTML and CSS.
