  <el-step title="Step 3"></el-step>
</el-steps>

<el-button style="margin-top: 12px;" @click="next">Next step</el-button>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        active: 0
      };
    },

    methods: {
      next() {
        if (this.active++ > 2) this.active = 0;
      }
    }
  }
</script>
