Create a core meteor-wizard and put autoform-wizard in a separate package. about meteor-wizard HOT 5 OPEN

I'm open for suggestions ofcourse, right now I won't start on abstraction the package myself.
It's still not fully clear which direction meteor is heading with the view layer, and there are good packages for other use cases already.

Well Blaze was dead: https://forums.meteor.com/t/next-steps-on-blaze-and-the-view-layer/13561
and back two months later: https://forums.meteor.com/t/angular-react-and-blaze/16100.
We will have Blaze for a long time :-)

My motivation on this suggestion was cause your code is well done and many people can benefit it not only for AutoForm Wizards but Tabbed interface in general. I don´t see any meteor tabs package that abstract router and local storage as clean and well.

I undestand that you want not take this wagon.

Thanks anyway for your enlighten code.

Yes, happy to hear Blaze will stick for some more time!

I'm thinking about rewriting the package to ES6 as soon as I find some time. In that case I could consider making an abstraction, I'll think about it :)

Thanks for the compliments!

Which brings me to, which other functionalities could be useful?

I'm thinking

• Hooks, beforeNext, afterNext, beforePrevious, afterPrevious, etc
• More advanced navigation, skipping steps based on the input for example
• Animations/Transitions
• Helpers for showing wizard state like, percentComplete, stepsRemaining

Well this is really ambitious 👍

The 'core' package should be:

• simple and bare-mininum.
• a plain tabbed interface.
• navigation based on 'function calls?' and pluggable router interface
• save tab state on CacheStore
• a more functional approach

Then all other usecase can be build over this like:

• next AutoForm wizard
• extend AutoForm wizard
• Generic steps wizard
• complex tabbed UI´s
