Multi-step-form

What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

Dynamic, Step-Based Navigation:

Successfully implementing a dynamic, multi-step form with back-and-forth navigation is a strong accomplishment. Using conditional rendering to switch between steps based on user interaction provides a smooth, guided experience. State Management with Local Storage:

Using localStorage to save form data across steps and retrieve it is effective for small applications like this. It ensures that the user doesn’t lose their input if they accidentally refresh the page or navigate away momentarily. User-Friendly UI:

The decision to let users modify their selection via a "Change" button on the summary page is a great touch. It improves the user experience by making it easy to adjust plans and add-ons without starting over.

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

Maintaining state across multiple steps and components was tricky, especially when the user needed to be able to go back and forth without losing input data. Solution: Leveraging localStorage provided a straightforward way to save user input persistently. Additionally, managing the active step in a parent component allowed child components to update state in one place, ensuring that data stayed consistent. In future iterations, incorporating a global state manager like Redux or Context API could streamline this process further.

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

1. State Management Optimization While local state and localStorage work well, implementing a more scalable state management solution, like Redux or React Context API, could simplify state handling across components. Assistance in setting up a centralized state and managing it efficiently would help streamline data flow, particularly as the form grows.
2. Form Validation and Error Handling Ensuring robust user input validation and error feedback can significantly enhance the user experience. Guidance on implementing form validation patterns (e.g., using libraries like Yup with Formik) and handling errors consistently across steps would make the form more user-friendly.
