I recently read an interesting article on implementing a multi-step form using AngularJS and UI router. You can find the article here.
If you want to check out the working example, you can view the Plunkr link here.
One question I have regarding this process is how to integrate form validation. For instance, in the first form where users input their name and email, how can we validate these fields to ensure they are not empty or that the email format is correct before allowing them to proceed to the next step?
// Creating our Angular app and including ngAnimate and ui-router
// =============================================================================
angular.module('formApp', ['ngAnimate', 'ui.router'])
// Configuring routes
// =============================================================================
.config(function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
$stateProvider
// Route for the basic form (/form)
.state('form', {
url: '/form',
templateUrl: 'form.html',
controller: 'formController'
})
// Nested states
// Each section will have its own view
// Nested URL (/form/profile)
.state('form.profile', {
url: '/profile',
templateUrl: 'form-profile.html'
})
// URL is /form/interests
.state('form.interests', {
url: '/interests',
templateUrl: 'form-interests.html'
})
// URL is /form/payment
.state('form.payment', {
url: '/payment',
templateUrl: 'form-payment.html'
});
// Catch all route
// Redirect users to the form page
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/form/profile');
})
// Controller for the form
// =============================================================================
.controller('formController', function($scope) {
// Storing form data in an object
$scope.formData = {};
// Processing the form
$scope.processForm = function() {
alert('Awesome!');
};
});
