Step Progress Bar / Progress Stepper

Hi Adrian,

Thank you for the suggestion! A stepper control is something we've already explored as a potential candidate for future implementation. If you have specific features or use cases in mind that go beyond what's covered on the linked page, feel free to share them here. We'd be happy to take them into account if development on this control moves forward.

Good evening!

I do have a couple of impressions to share and thank you in advance for considering what has become a rather long response...
First off, I think a lot of the niceties can already be achieved by piggy backing off the existing progress bar implementation.

Regarding the responsiveness:
The progress line connecting two nodes must be a dynamic progress bar (with the option of switching to "indeterminate" behaviour).

Regarding the coloring:
I would like to use the color variations to denote overall state (e.g., orange=warning/pending, red=failure/abort, green=success, accent=normal and gray=not yet reached). This color scheme idea should also apply to the coloring of individual nodes: If a step failes then one should be able to change its colour easily.

Regarding the data to be displayed:
I would like to be able to place text on both sides (top/bottom or left/right depending on orientation) of the stepped progress bar, with the capability of using images and/or text. The reason why I would like icons is because they are language agnostic (no need to translate/localise) and can easily be recognised. Please make the text fully formattable, such that headings/bold, new lines and hypertext can be employed. 

Regarding the layouting:
I would like to be able to control the spacing between nodes or have it fit to a given size constraint. I can think of a few scenarios where overflow/automatic scrolling behaviour makes sense.

I really appreciate you taking the time to consider this and look forward to maybe seeing this in future releases - thank you!
kind regards
Adrian

P.S. I attach a few examples that I have shamelessly lifted from other parts of the internet...

• dynamic progress bars
• complicated formatting
• Formatting examples
  • Clear intent and highlighting
  • Intent not clear and highlighting confusing 
• nice presentations with icons and text

Hi Adrian,

Thank you for providing all those details.  That's a great summary of feature ideas that we will log with the related TODO item so that it's tracked and visible to the team.  We truly appreciate the time you took to outline these suggestions.
