Multi steps creation process in backpack-for-laravel create operation

Question

I am using backpack-for-laravel V4 installed on laravel 6.1.0 and I want when I create a new entity (inside CreateOperation) multi steps creation wizard as follow:

• View 1: which displays a form to upload an excel file
• Controller action: do the upload process using laravel-excel
• View 2: a form to match the database table fields with the excel file header row
• Controller action: create models and save them as many their are as the rows

I did all the above steps in a normal frontend form and save the result correctly in the database. I just need hints or tips how to accomplish the same in backpack-for-laravel so the process will be in the crud panel.

Please advice,

Answer 1

I managed to do that by creating a custom operation with multiple actions as the number of required steps before storing the data to the database.
