Customization

Custom Card Rendering

const customCardRenderer = (item: StepItem, defaultCard: React.ReactNode) => (
  <div style={{ border: '2px solid red' }}>
    {defaultCard}
    <div>Custom content for {item.title}</div>
  </div>
);

<StepNavigator 
  data={data}
  customCardRenderer={customCardRenderer}
/>

Custom Popover Form

const CustomForm = ({ data, onChange, onSubmit, onCancel }) => (
  <div>
    <input
      value={data.title}
      onChange={(e) => onChange({ ...data, title: e.target.value })}
    />
    <button onClick={onSubmit}>Save</button>
    <button onClick={onCancel}>Cancel</button>
  </div>
);

<StepNavigator 
  data={data}
  customPopoverComponent={CustomForm}
/>

Styling

The component uses CSS modules to avoid style conflicts. You can:

1. Override CSS variables for theming
2. Add custom classes via className and cardClassName props
3. Use custom renderers for complete control
