Hi @silent jewel. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Hmm, I don't know enough to give you a confident answer yet. The knowledge sources provided do not contain specific information on creating a multi-step form using Next.js, Zod, and Prisma. However, I can provide some general guidance based on the information available.

In Next.js, you can create different pages for each step of the form and use the built-in routing to navigate between them. For form validation, you can use Zod as recommended in the Next.js documentation (https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/forms-and-mutations#form-validation). Here's a basic example of how you can use Zod for form validation:

import type { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next'
import { z } from 'zod'
 
const schema = z.object({
 // ...
})
 
export default async function handler(
 req: NextApiRequest,
 res: NextApiResponse
) {
 const parsed = schema.parse(req.body)
 // ...
}

As for Prisma, it is an ORM that can be used to access a database in Node.js and TypeScript applications. You can use Prisma to handle form submissions and save the data to your database. Here's a basic example of how you can use Prisma to create a new record in the database:

import { getSession } from 'next-auth/react';
import prisma from '../../../lib/prisma';

export default async function handle(req, res) {
 const { title, content } = req.body;

 const session = await getSession({ req });
 const result = await prisma.post.create({
  data: {
   title: title,
   content: content,
   author: { connect: { email: session?.user?.email } },
  },
 });
 res.json(result);
}

For a more detailed guide, I recommend checking out the Next.js (https://nextjs.org/docs/getting-started), Zod (https://zod.dev/), and Prisma (https://prisma.io/docs) documentation.

@sly wind I have defined multiple pages for the stepper (course details, course content, course assignment), I want to submit the form of each page using same "Next" button defined into the layout.js (first submit the form, then redirect to the next page (Eg: course content))

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

Based on the knowledge sources provided, you can handle form submissions and navigation in Next.js using various methods. Here's a general approach you can take:

1. Form Submission: You can use the fetch API to submit the form data to a specific API route. This can be done inside an async function that you call when the "Next" button is clicked. Here's a basic example:

async function onSubmit(event) {
  event.preventDefault()
  const formData = new FormData(event.currentTarget)
  const response = await fetch('/api/submit', {
    method: 'POST',
    body: formData,
  })
  // Handle response if necessary
  const data = await response.json()
  // ...
}

(Source: Next.js Docs (https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/forms-and-mutations#displaying-loading-state))

2. Navigation: After the form is successfully submitted, you can use the Router from next/router to navigate to the next page. This can be done inside the same async function after the form submission is handled.

import { useRouter } from 'next/router'

// Inside your component
const router = useRouter()

// Inside your form submission function
router.push('/next-page')

(Source: Next.js Docs (https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/routing/linking-and-navigating))

Please note that this is a general approach and you might need to adjust it based on your specific use case and application structure. For more detailed information, I recommend checking out the Next.js documentation (https://nextjs.org/docs/getting-started).
