Question 1

How to customize the button colors in React Native Progress Steps?

Accepted Answer

Use props like `buttonFillColor`, `buttonBorderColor`, and `buttonNextTextColor` on the ProgressStep component. For example, set `buttonFillColor='#007AFF'` for a blue background, as shown in the button styling examples.

Question 2

React Native Progress Steps vs react-native-step-indicator: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

React Native Progress Steps is better for fully customizable, form-oriented steppers with built-in validation and button control. react-native-step-indicator is often simpler for basic progress indicators with less customization overhead.

Question 3

How do I hide the navigation buttons in the stepper?

Accepted Answer

Set the `removeBtnRow` prop to true on the ProgressStep component. Then, manage step changes programmatically using the `activeStep` prop on ProgressSteps, as described in the 'Hiding the Button Row' section.

Question 4

Can I use this library with Expo?

Accepted Answer

Yes, since it's a pure React Native library with no native dependencies beyond React Native itself, it should work seamlessly with Expo projects, though always check for compatibility with your Expo version.

Question 5

How to handle step validation with errors?

Accepted Answer

Use the `errors` prop on ProgressStep—set it to true when validation fails to prevent moving to the next step. Combine with `onNext` for custom validation logic, as shown in the validation example.

Question 6

Is there support for horizontal steppers?

Accepted Answer

Based on the documentation and example image, React Native Progress Steps is designed for vertical steppers. There's no mention of horizontal layout support in the props or examples.
