The JS to manage the progress bar and setps logic
The progress steps are generated using the built-in iterator pattern in the DOM object. The active step is marked “active” and the html above, determines the number of steps.
const progress = document.getElementById('progress')
const prev = document.getElementById('prev')
const next = document.getElementById('next')
const circles = document.querySelectorAll('.circle')
let currentActive = 1
next.addEventListener('click', () => {
currentActive++
if(currentActive > circles.length) {
currentActive = circles.length
}
update()
})
prev.addEventListener('click', () => {
currentActive--
if(currentActive < 1) {
currentActive = 1
}
update()
})
function update() {
circles.forEach((circle, idx) => {
if(idx < currentActive) {
circle.classList.add('active')
} else {
circle.classList.remove('active')
}
})
const actives = document.querySelectorAll('.active')
progress.style.width = (actives.length - 1) / (circles.length - 1) * 100 + '%'
if(currentActive === 1) {
prev.disabled = true
} else if(currentActive === circles.length) {
next.disabled = true
} else {
prev.disabled = false
next.disabled = false
}
}
const progress = document.getElementById('progress')
const prev = document.getElementById('prev')
const next = document.getElementById('next')
const circles = document.querySelectorAll('.circle')
let currentActive = 1
next.addEventListener('click', () => {
currentActive++
if(currentActive > circles.length) {
currentActive = circles.length
}
update()
})
prev.addEventListener('click', () => {
currentActive--
if(currentActive < 1) {
currentActive = 1
}
update()
})
function update() {

}
})
const actives = document.querySelectorAll('.active')

if(currentActive === 1) {
