Sure, here is a step-by-step guide on how to use Step Form in ReactJS with NodeJS Sequelize:

  1. First, you need to create a new ReactJS project using create-react-app command.

  2. Install necessary packages for Step Form and Sequelize:

npm install --save react-stepzilla
npm install --save sequelize mysql2
  1. Create a database and table for the form data you want to store. You can use MySQL Workbench or any other alternative.

  2. Create a NodeJS server using Express and connect to the database using Sequelize.

  3. Create a model for your form data and define the fields you want to store in the database. Example:

const Sequelize = require('sequelize');

module.exports = (sequelize, DataTypes) => {
  const FormModel = sequelize.define('Form', {
    name: {
      type: DataTypes.STRING,
      allowNull: false
    },
    email: {
      type: DataTypes.STRING,
      allowNull: false
    },
    phone: {
      type: DataTypes.STRING,
      allowNull: false
    },
    address: {
      type: DataTypes.STRING,
      allowNull: false
    }
  });

  return FormModel;
};
  1. Create a controller to handle form data requests.
const db = require('../models');
const Form = db.Form;

exports.create = (req, res) => {
  const { name, email, phone, address } = req.body;
  Form.create({
    name,
    email,
    phone,
    address
  })
    .then(form => res.json(form))
    .catch(err => res.status(500).json({ error: err }));
};
  1. Create a React component for your Step Form. Example:
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import StepZilla from 'react-stepzilla';

const steps = [
  { name: 'Step 1', component: <Step1 /> },
  { name: 'Step 2', component: <Step2 /> },
  { name: 'Step 3', component: <Step3 /> },
];

const StepForm = () => {
  const [formData, setFormData] = useState({});

  const onFormSubmit = () => {
    fetch('/api/form/create', {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
      body: JSON.stringify(formData),
    })
      .then(() => alert('Form data submitted successfully!'))
      .catch(err => alert('Failed to submit form data. Please try again later.'));
  };

  return (
    <div className="step-form">
      <StepZilla
        steps={steps}
        prevBtnOnLastStep={false}
        backButtonCls="back-btn"
        nextButtonCls="next-btn"
        nextTextOnFinalActionStep="Submit"
        onStepChange={(step) => console.log(`Step changed to: ${step.name}`)}
        onCompleted={onFormSubmit}
      />
    </div>
  );
};

export default StepForm;
  1. Add your Step Form component to your ReactJS application and render it:
import React from 'react';
import StepForm from './StepForm';

const App = () => (
  <div className="App">
    <StepForm />
  </div>
);

export default App;
  1. Finally, start your NodeJS server and your ReactJS application:
node server.js

npm start

That's it! Now you can create a multi-step form in ReactJS and store the form data in your NodeJS server using Sequelize.
