PatternFly has two implementations of a `Wizard`. This newer `Wizard` takes a more explicit and declarative approach compared to the older implementation, which can be found under the [React](/components/wizard/react) tab.

## Examples

### Basic

```ts file="./WizardBasic.tsx"
```

### Custom navigation

The `Wizard`'s `nav` property can be used to build your own navigation.

```noLive
/** Callback for the Wizard's 'nav' property. Returns element which replaces the Wizard's default navigation. */
export type CustomWizardNavFunction = (
  isExpanded: boolean,
  steps: WizardControlStep[],
  activeStep: WizardControlStep,
  goToStepByIndex: (index: number) => void
) => React.ReactElement<WizardNavProps>;

/** Encompasses all step type variants that are internally controlled by the Wizard */
type WizardControlStep = WizardBasicStep | WizardParentStep | WizardSubStep;
```

```ts file="./WizardCustomNav.tsx"
```

### Kitchen sink

Includes the following:

- Header
- Custom footer
- Sub-steps
- Step content with a drawer
- Custom navigation item
- Disabled navigation items until visited
- Action to toggle visibility of a step
- Action to toggle navigation item error status

Custom operations when navigating between steps can be achieved by utilizing `onNext`, `onBack`, or `onNavByIndex` properties whose callback functions return the 'id' and 'name' of the currently focused step (currentStep), and the previously focused step (previousStep).

```noLive
/** Callback for the Wizard's 'onNext', 'onBack', and 'onNavByIndex' properties */
type WizardNavStepFunction = (currentStep: WizardNavStepData, previousStep: WizardNavStepData) => void;

/** Data returned for either parameter of WizardNavStepFunction */
type WizardNavStepData = Pick<WizardControlStep, 'id' | 'name'>;
```

#

The `WizardStep`'s `navItem` property can be used to build your own nav item for that step.

```noLive
/** Callback for the Wizard's 'navItem' property. Returns element which replaces the WizardStep's default navItem. */
export type CustomWizardNavItemFunction = (
  step: WizardControlStep,
  activeStep: WizardControlStep,
  steps: WizardControlStep[],
  goToStepByIndex: (index: number) => void
) => React.ReactElement<WizardNavItemProps>;
```

```ts file="./WizardKitchenSink.tsx"
```

## Hooks

### useWizardContext

Used to access any property of [WizardContext](#wizardcontextprops):

```noLive
import { useWizardContext } from '@patternfly/react-core/next';

const StepContent = () => {
  const { activeStep } = useWizardContext();
  return <>This is the current step: {activeStep}</>;
}
```

### useWizardFooter

Used to set a unique footer for the wizard on any given step. See step 3 of [Kitchen sink](#kitchen-sink) for a live example.

```noLive
import { useWizardFooter } from '@patternfly/react-core/next';

const StepContent = () => {
  useWizardFooter(<>Some footer</>);
  return <>Step content</>;
}
```
