# Sections

Group steps for larger journeys and read per-section progress. Steps with no group fall into the reserved general section (Flow::UNGROUPED\_SECTION):

```php
$flow = Onboarding::flow('default')->title('Account setup');

$flow->add('Upload photo')->group('profile')->completeWhenFilled('avatar_path');
$flow->add('Add card')->group('billing')->completeWhenFilled('card_last4');
$flow->add('Accept terms')->completeWhenFilled('terms_accepted_at'); // no group: "general"
```

```php
$flow = Onboarding::for($user);

$flow?->sections();                       // Collection<int, SectionData>
$flow?->groups();                         // alias of sections()
$flow?->section('billing')?->percentage;  // float
$flow?->section('billing')?->isCompleted; // bool — required steps in the group complete
```

Sections follow the order in which each group first appears in the ordered step list. A section’s percentage covers all its visible steps; its isCompleted is true once its required steps are complete.

## SectionData

Each section is a final readonly SectionData DTO — key, title (currently the group key), percentage, isCompleted and steps (a list of StepData) — implementing Arrayable and JsonSerializable. Serialized steps also carry their group key:

```php
[
    'key' => 'billing',
    'title' => 'billing',
    'percentage' => 0.0,
    'is_completed' => false,
    'steps' => [ /* list of StepData shapes */ ],
]
```

## A multi-part wizard

```blade
@foreach ($user->onboarding()?->sections() ?? [] as $section)
    <h3>{{ $section->title }} — {{ $section->percentage }}%</h3>

    <ul>
        @foreach ($section->steps as $step)
            <li @class(['is-done' => $step->isCompleted])>{{ $step->title }}</li>
        @endforeach
    </ul>
@endforeach
```
