🔍 Overview

What is Multi Step Form?

In short, Multi Step Form (for virtual car rental company) allows you to book your dream car using a form consisting of several steps.

Design brief

The challenge was to create a user interface in line with the neumorphism trend (to familarize with the concept of neumorphism, I recommend the following article: Neumorphism in user interfaces) styled using Styled Components.

Multi Step Form features

• car booking through a form consisting of the following steps:
  • welcome - displaying information for the user
  • personal data of the user
  • rental duration (date & time)
  • car & equipment selection
  • summary generated based on user input
• all fields are validated with custom data validator - the user is kept informed about errors
• custom progress bar showing the level of completing the form
• dark & light theme - selection with a custom switcher component

🤔 Solutions provided in the project

• Multi Step Form uses modern React features (Hooks, Context API)
• custom hook useForm uses useReducer and useState hooks
  • useReducer to control the form inputs (entered values, marking fields filled in correctly/incorrectly, clearing the form)
  • useState to store information about errors when completing the form, which are then displayed to the user
• <Survey /> component provides context which is consumed by other components (e.g. <Dropdown /> which is consumer of formContext, in this case useContext hook is used)
• form fields are rendered dynamically according to the information stored in the data files (e.g. step1Data.js), e.g.

const formFieldsStep3 = [
    {
        name: 'car',
        label: 'car class',
        type: 'dropdown',
        items: [
            { value: 'A', label: 'A (e.g. Fiat 500)' },
            { value: 'B', label: 'B (e.g. VW Polo)' },
            { value: 'C', label: 'C (e.g. Seat Leon)' },
            { value: 'D', label: 'D (e.g. VW Passat)' },
            { value: 'P', label: 'P (e.g. Audi A8)' },
        ],
        order: 2,
    },
    // ...
]

• all form fields are validated according to the rules saved in the DataValidator.js file (along with the error message and information whether the field is required), e.g.

startTime = {
        regExp: /^((0[8-9]|1[0-9]):[0-5][0-9])$|^(20:00)$/,
        err: 'working hours 08:00 - 20:00',
        required: true,
    };

• the summary is generated on the basis of data entered by the user (summary generation logic separated in the SummaryCreator.js file) with the use of information contained in the rentalData.js file (such as, for example, price list, minimum rental length - you can easily change it as needed, e.g. update the price list)

const rentalData = {
    minRentalLengthHours: 4,
    minStartDifferenceHours: 2,
    priceList: {
        car: {
            A: {
                prices: [
                    { min: 1, max: 3, price: 99 },
                    { min: 4, max: 20, price: 89 },
                    { min: 21, max: 60, price: 79 },
                    { min: 61, max: Infinity, price: 65 },
                ],
                deposit: 500,
            },
            //...
        }}}

• custom hooks used
  • useForm to control the form filling process
  • useToggle to handle <Switcher /> (change of theme, selection of additional equipment) and <Dropdown /> (car selection)

      const [isOpen, toggleDropdown] = useToggle();

• Multi Step Form styling
  • RWD
  • styles created using Styled Components
  • custom <Switcher /> (checkbox) and <Dropdown /> (similiar to <select> HTML element)
  • use createGlobalStyle to add reset and global styles along with variables
  • through the use of ThemeProvider and variables, the possibility of choosing a theme has been implemented (by clicking custom <Switcher />)
  • theme colors can be changed by editing the themeStyle.js file
