Measured entry

ruixen-wizard-stepper

feature-gridunclassifiedmotion on file

A client-side React progress stepper for controlled or self-managed wizard state, with horizontal and vertical layouts, clickable stages, completion icons, loading feedback, and animated connectors. It ships as a shadcn registry component styled with Tailwind classes and depends on Motion, Lucide React, and a local cn utility backed by clsx and tailwind-merge.

Verdict

A polished starting point for short wizard flows, with useful state and orientation options and reliable responsive rendering. It needs a shadcn-style setup to mount, and teams should fix contrast, keyboard semantics, and unrestricted step jumping before treating it as production-ready navigation.

Use it if

  • You need a compact progress header for onboarding, checkout, account setup, or another short staged flow.
  • Your product already uses Tailwind theme tokens and a shadcn-style cn helper.
  • You want either parent-controlled navigation or simple internal step state, with optional vertical presentation and loading feedback.

Skip it if

  • You need accessible step navigation out of the box, since the clickable stage wrappers lack native button and keyboard semantics.
  • Your design system cannot accept faint pending and descriptive text without revising its contrast styles.
  • You want a dependency-light static progress indicator and do not need spring animation or icon-based completion states.
  • Your flow must prevent users from jumping directly to arbitrary stages unless you are prepared to add navigation guards.

In a non-shadcn project, add Motion, Lucide React, clsx, and tailwind-merge; configure Tailwind with the foreground and background theme tokens; create the cn utility; and map the source alias to it. Keep the file in a client-rendered React boundary.
