::note{to="#with-controls"}
This can be useful when you want to force navigation with controls.
::

## Examples

### With controls

You can add additional controls for the stepper using buttons.

:component-example{name="stepper-with-controls-example"}

### Control active item

You can control the active item by using the `default-value` prop or the `v-model` directive with the index of the item.

:component-example{name="stepper-model-value-example"}

::tip
You can also pass the `value` of one of the items if provided.
::

### With content slot

Use the `#content` slot to customize the content of each item.

:component-example{name="stepper-content-slot-example"}

### With custom slot

Use the `slot` property to customize a specific item.

:component-example{name="stepper-custom-slot-example"}

## API

### Props

:component-props

### Slots

:component-slots

### Emits

:component-emits

### Expose

You can access the typed component instance using [`useTemplateRef`](https://vuejs.org/api/composition-api-helpers.html#usetemplateref).

```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
const stepper = useTemplateRef('stepper')
</script>

<template>
  <UStepper ref="stepper" />
</template>
```

This will give you access to the following:

| Name | Type |
| ---- | ---- |
| `next`{lang="ts-type"} | `() => void`{lang="ts-type"} |
| `prev`{lang="ts-type"} | `() => void`{lang="ts-type"} |
| `hasNext`{lang="ts-type"} | `Ref<boolean>`{lang="ts-type"} |
| `hasPrev`{lang="ts-type"} | `Ref<boolean>`{lang="ts-type"} |
