"Becoming a Form Wizard: Intuitive Multi-Step Workflows"
Forms are a core part of many applications and complex actions are often broken up into multiple forms as steps in this workflow. Using React’s Context API and a conventional state machine, Nick Hehr will show us how we can build a reusable system for building these wizards and make the web a bit more magical.
