# Input Stepper: Use Cases

```js script
import { html } from '@mdjs/mdjs-preview';
import { loadDefaultFeedbackMessages } from '@lion/ui/validate-messages.js';
import '@lion/ui/define/lion-input-stepper.js';
loadDefaultFeedbackMessages();
```

## Default

When no range or step is defined, it can go infinite with default step value as `1`. You can also specify prefix content using `after` slot.

```html preview-story
<lion-input-stepper name="year">
  <label slot="label">How old is the existence?</label>
  <div slot="after" data-description>In Billion Years</div>
</lion-input-stepper>
```

## Attributes & Properties

### Step and Value

Use `step` attribute to specify the incrementor or decrementor difference and `value` to set the default value.

```html preview-story
<lion-input-stepper
  label="Amount of oranges"
  min="100"
  step="100"
  name="value"
  value="200"
></lion-input-stepper>
```

### Range

Use `min` and `max` attribute to specify a range.

```html preview-story
<lion-input-stepper
  label="Amount of oranges"
  min="200"
  max="500"
  name="value"
  step="100"
  value="200"
></lion-input-stepper>
```

### Value text

Use the `.valueTextMapping` property to override the value with a text.

```js preview-story
export const valueTextMapping = () => {
  const values = {
    1: 'first',
    2: 'second',
    3: 'third',
    4: 'fourth',
    5: 'fifth',
    6: 'sixth',
    7: 'seventh',
    8: 'eighth',
    9: 'ninth',
    10: 'tenth',
  };
  return html`
    <lion-input-stepper
      label="Order"
      min="1"
      max="10"
      name="value"
      .valueTextMapping="${values}"
    ></lion-input-stepper>
  `;
};
```

### Formatting

Just like with the `input-amount` you can add the `formatOptions` to format the numbers to your preferences, to a different locale or adjust the amount of fractions.

```js preview-story
export const formatting = () => {
  const format = { locale: 'nl-NL' };
  return html`
    <lion-input-stepper
      label="Amount of oranges"
      min="0"
      max="5000"
      step="100"
      name="value"
      .formatOptions="${format}"
      .modelValue="${1200}"
    ></lion-input-stepper>
  `;
};
```

### Aligning to step

The value is always aligned with the defined step size when using the increase or decrease buttons. The input value will be adjusted to the nearest valid step multiple. For example, with a step of `10` starting from `1`, if the user enters `55` and clicks the increase button, the value will align to `61` instead of `65` (1 > 11 > 21 > ... > 51 > 61).

```html preview-story
<lion-input-stepper
  label="Amount of oranges"
  min="1"
  max="100"
  step="10"
  name="value"
  alignToStep
  value="55"
></lion-input-stepper>
```
