streamlit-stepper 0.1.1

A multi-step wizard component for Streamlit with validation and progress tracking

streamlit-stepper

A multi-step wizard component for Streamlit. Define steps with typed fields, get built-in validation, animated progress connectors, a summary review step, and the final collected values back in Python.

Features

• Horizontal (tabs across top) and vertical (sidebar) orientations — switchable at runtime
• Animated fill connector between steps as you progress
• Per-field required validation — blocks Next and shows inline error hints
• Click completed steps to jump back
• Auto-generated review step that summarizes all entries
• Completion screen with collected values
• Dot-strip navigation at the bottom of each step
• Zero runtime dependencies beyond Streamlit

Installation

pip install streamlit-stepper

Quickstart

import streamlit as st
from streamlit_stepper import st_stepper

steps = [
    {
        "label": "Project",
        "subtitle": "Name & describe",
        "icon": "◈",
        "fields": [

                "required": True,
            },
        ],
    },
    {
        "label": "Team",
        "subtitle": "Add collaborators",
        "icon": "◉",
        "fields": [

    },
    {
        "label": "Review",
        "subtitle": "Confirm & launch",
        "icon": "◆",
        "fields": [],  # empty fields = auto review step
    },
]

result = st_stepper(steps, orientation="horizontal", key="wizard")

if result and result["completed"]:
    st.balloons()
    st.success(f"Created project: {result['values']['name']}")
    st.json(result["values"])

API

st_stepper(steps, orientation="horizontal", key=None)

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
steps	list[dict]	required	Step definitions
orientation	"horizontal" | "vertical"	"horizontal"	Layout of the step indicator
key	str	None	Streamlit widget key

Step schema

{
    "label":    str,        # short name in the indicator (e.g. "Project")
    "subtitle": str,        # secondary text below label
    "icon":     str,        # decorative character (e.g. "◈", "①", "→")
    "fields": [
        {
            "key":         str,          # returned in result["values"]
            "label":       str,          # field display label
            "type":        str,          # "text" | "textarea" | "select"
            "placeholder": str,          # optional hint text
            "required":    bool,         # if True, blocks Next when empty
            "options":     list[str],    # required for type="select"
        }
    ]
}

A step with "fields": [] renders as a review summary of all prior steps.

Return value

{
    "step":      int,   # index of the last completed step
    "values":    dict,  # {field_key: entered_value} for all fields
    "completed": bool,  # True when user clicks the final submit button
}
