    Integrating a custom Bootstrap multi-step form into a Django project involves a few

    key steps.

    You’ll primarily be dealing with Django forms, views, and templates, using Bootstrap
    for styling and some JavaScript for client-side logic to handle the form's multi-step
    behavior. Here’s a basic outline on how to achieve this:

    Step 1: Create Your Django Form


    Start by defining the fields your form will need. If your multi-step form spans several
    categories of information (e.g., personal details, educational background, etc.), you
    might consider using Django’s Form or ModelForm classes.

    from django import forms

    class RegistrationForm(forms.Form):

    # Step 1 fields

    first_name = forms.CharField(max_length=100)

    last_name = forms.CharField(max_length=100)

    # Step 2 fields

    email = forms.EmailField()

    password = forms.CharField(widget=forms.PasswordInput())

    # Step 3 fields

    terms = forms.BooleanField()
    Step 2: Create a Django View
    You need a view to handle this form. This view will manage form display, form
    submission, and transitioning between form steps. You might use session or form
    wizard to manage state across multiple steps.

    from django.shortcuts import render, redirect

    from .forms import RegistrationForm

    def register(request):

    if 'form_data' not in request.session:

    request.session['form_data'] = {}

    form_data = request.session['form_data']

    step = int(request.GET.get('step', 1))

    if request.method == 'POST':

    form = RegistrationForm(request.POST)

    if form.is_valid():

    form_data.update(form.cleaned_data)

    request.session['form_data'] = form_data

    next_step = step + 1

    if next_step <= 3:
    return redirect(f'/register/?step={next_step}')

    else:

    # Process completed form data here

    return redirect('/success/')

    else:

    form = RegistrationForm(initial=form_data)

    return render(request, 'register.html', {'form': form, 'step': step})

    Step 3: Create Templates


    You need a template that uses Bootstrap to style the form and JavaScript to manage
    which part of the form is visible depending on the step.

    <!-- templates/register.html -->

    <!DOCTYPE html>

    <html lang="en">

    <head>

    <meta charset="UTF-8">

    <title>Register</title>

    <link href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/css/bootstrap.min.css"
    rel="stylesheet">

    </head>

    <body>
    <div class="container">

    <form method="post">

    {% csrf_token %}

    <div class="{% if step == 1 %}d-block{% else %}d-none{% endif %}">

    {{ form.first_name }}

    {{ form.last_name }}

    </div>

    <div class="{% if step == 2 %}d-block{% else %}d-none{% endif %}">

    {{ form.email }}

    {{ form.password }}

    </div>

    <div class="{% if step == 3 %}d-block{% else %}d-none{% endif %}">

    {{ form.terms }}

    </div>

    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Next</button>

    </form>

    </div>

    <script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.slim.min.js"></script>

    <script
    src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@4.5.2/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></scri
    pt>

    </body>

    </html>
    Step 4: JavaScript for Client-side Logic (Optional)
    Depending on how complex your form interactions are, you might want to add some
    JavaScript to enhance user experience, like validations or dynamic behaviors without
    needing to reload the page.

    Step 5: Testing and Debugging


    Ensure your form correctly handles all the steps, validates input, and correctly
    manages sessions (or another state persistence mechanism).

    Final Step: Include URLs


    Make sure you include the view in your URLconf.

    # urls.py

    from django.urls import path

    from .views import register

    urlpatterns = [

    path('register/', register, name='register'),
