Today in this post we will see multi step form example in laravel, here we will create laravel multi step form example. Here ,we will create multiple form pages and we will use laravel session to store the data to create multi step form wizard in laravel.

    In this example we are creating a multi page form in laravel to insert products data into the database. So, let's see how to create multi step form in laravel 8.

     In this first step we are creating new project for laravel multi step form example.

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel multistep-form

    Now, create migration and model for multi step form wizard in laravel.

php artisan make:model Product -m

    Migration

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class CreateProductsTable extends Migration
{
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('products', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('name')->nullable();
            $table->longText('description')->nullable();
            $table->float('amount')->nullable();
            $table->boolean('status')->default(0);
            $table->integer('stock')->default(0);
            $table->rememberToken();
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('products');
    }
}

    Model

<?php
  
namespace App;
  
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
  
class Product extends Model
{
    protected $fillable = [
        'name', 'amount', 'description', 'status', 'stock'
    ];
}

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\ProductController;


Route::get('products', [ProductController::class,'index'])->name('products.index');
  
Route::get('products/create-step-one', [ProductController::class,'createStepOne'])->name('products.create.step.one');

Route::post('products/create-step-one', [ProductController::class,'postCreateStepOne'])->name('products.create.step.one.post');

Route::get('products/create-step-two', [ProductController::class,'createStepTwo'])->name('products.create.step.two');

Route::post('products/create-step-two', [ProductController::class,'postCreateStepTwo'])->name('products.create.step.two.post');

Route::get('products/create-step-three', [ProductController::class,'createStepThree'])->name('products.create.step.three');

Route::post('products/create-step-three', [ProductController::class,'postCreateStepThree'])->name('products.create.step.three.post');

});

    Now create controller. 

php artisan make:controller ProductController

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Product;
  
class ProductController extends Controller
{

    public function index()
    {
        $products = Product::all();
  
        return view('products.index',compact('products'));
    }
  
 
    public function createStepOne(Request $request)
    {
        $product = $request->session()->get('product');
  
        return view('products.create-step-one',compact('product'));
    }
  
 
    public function postCreateStepOne(Request $request)
    {
        $validatedData = $request->validate([
            'name' => 'required|unique:products',
            'amount' => 'required|numeric',
            'description' => 'required',
        ]);
  
        if(empty($request->session()->get('product'))){
            $product = new Product();
            $product->fill($validatedData);
            $request->session()->put('product', $product);
        }else{
            $product = $request->session()->get('product');
            $product->fill($validatedData);
            $request->session()->put('product', $product);
        }
  
        return redirect()->route('products.create.step.two');
    }
  
 
    public function createStepTwo(Request $request)
    {
        $product = $request->session()->get('product');
  
        return view('products.create-step-two',compact('product'));
    }
  
 
    public function postCreateStepTwo(Request $request)
    {
        $validatedData = $request->validate([
            'stock' => 'required',
            'status' => 'required',
        ]);
  
        $product = $request->session()->get('product');
        $product->fill($validatedData);
        $request->session()->put('product', $product);
  
        return redirect()->route('products.create.step.three');
    }
  

    public function createStepThree(Request $request)
    {
        $product = $request->session()->get('product');
  
        return view('products.create-step-three',compact('product'));
    }
 
    public function postCreateStepThree(Request $request)
    {
        $product = $request->session()->get('product');
        $product->save();
  
        $request->session()->forget('product');
  
        return redirect()->route('products.index');
    }
}

    Now, create below blade files for view output.

    1) default.blade.php
