React Checkbox & Radio Components

Create consistent cross-browser and cross-device checkboxes and radios with our React checkbox, radio, and switch components.

Approach#

Browser default checkboxes and radios are replaced with the help of <CFormCheck>. Checkboxes are for selecting one or several options in a list, while radios are for selecting one option from many.

Checks#

<CFormCheck id="flexCheckDefault" label="Default checkbox"/>
<CFormCheck id="flexCheckChecked" label="Checked checkbox" defaultChecked />

Indeterminate#

Checkboxes can utilize the :indeterminate pseudo-class when manually set via indeterminate property.

<CFormCheck id="flexCheckIndeterminate" label="Indeterminate checkbox" indeterminate />

Disabled#

Add the disabled attribute and the associated <label>s are automatically styled to match with a lighter color to help indicate the input's state.

<CFormCheck label="Disabled checkbox" disabled/>
<CFormCheck label="Disabled checked checkbox" defaultChecked disabled/>

Radios#

Add the disabled attribute and the associated <label>s are automatically styled to match with a lighter color to help indicate the input's state.

<CFormCheck type="radio" name="flexRadioDefault" id="flexRadioDefault1" label="Default radio"/>
<CFormCheck type="radio" name="flexRadioDefault" id="flexRadioDefault2" label="Checked radio" defaultChecked/>

Disabled#

<CFormCheck type="radio" name="flexRadioDisabled" id="flexRadioDisabled" label="Disabled radio" disabled/>
<CFormCheck type="radio" name="flexRadioDisabled" id="flexRadioCheckedDisabled" label="Disabled checked radio" defaultChecked disabled/>

Switches#

A switch has the markup of a custom checkbox but uses the switch boolean properly to render a toggle switch. Switches also support the disabled attribute.

<CFormSwitch label="Default switch checkbox input" id="formSwitchCheckDefault"/>
<CFormSwitch label="Checked switch checkbox input" id="formSwitchCheckChecked" defaultChecked/>
<CFormSwitch label="Disabled switch checkbox input" id="formSwitchCheckDisabled" disabled/>
<CFormSwitch label="Disabled checked switch checkbox input" id="formSwitchCheckCheckedDisabled" defaultChecked disabled/>

Sizes#

<CFormSwitch label="Default switch checkbox input" id="formSwitchCheckDefault"/>
<CFormSwitch size="lg" label="Large switch checkbox input" id="formSwitchCheckDefaultLg"/>
<CFormSwitch size="xl" label="Extra large switch checkbox input" id="formSwitchCheckDefaultXL"/>

Default (stacked)#

By default, any number of checkboxes and radios that are immediate sibling will be vertically stacked and appropriately spaced.

<CFormCheck id="defaultCheck1" label="Default checkbox"/>
<CFormCheck id="defaultCheck2" label="Disabled checkbox" disabled/>
<CFormCheck type="radio" name="exampleRadios" id="exampleRadios1" value="option1" label="Default radio" defaultChecked/>
<CFormCheck type="radio" name="exampleRadios" id="exampleRadios2" value="option2" label="Second default radio"/>
<CFormCheck type="radio" name="exampleRadios" id="exampleRadios3" value="option3" label="Disabled radio" disabled/>

Inline#

Group checkboxes or radios on the same horizontal row by adding inline boolean property to any <CFormCheck>.

<CFormCheck inline id="inlineCheckbox1" value="option1" label="1"/>
<CFormCheck inline id="inlineCheckbox2" value="option2" label="2"/>
<CFormCheck inline id="inlineCheckbox3" value="option3" label="3 (disabled)" disabled/>
<CFormCheck inline type="radio" name="inlineRadioOptions" id="inlineCheckbox1" value="option1" label="1"/>
<CFormCheck inline type="radio" name="inlineRadioOptions" id="inlineCheckbox2" value="option2" label="2"/>
<CFormCheck inline type="radio" name="inlineRadioOptions" id="inlineCheckbox3" value="option3" label="3 (disabled)" disabled/>

Without labels#

Remember to still provide some form of accessible name for assistive technologies (for instance, using aria-label).

<div>
<CFormCheck id="checkboxNoLabel" value="" aria-label="..."/>
</div>
<div>
<CFormCheck type="radio" name="radioNoLabel" id="radioNoLabel" value="" aria-label="..."/>
</div>

Toggle buttons#

Create button-like checkboxes and radio buttons by using button boolean property on the <CFormCheck> component. These toggle buttons can further be grouped in a button group if needed.

Checkbox toggle buttons#

<CFormCheck button={{ color: 'primary' }} id="btn-check" autoComplete="off" label="Single toggle" />
<CFormCheck
button={{ color: 'primary' }}
id="btn-check-2"
autoComplete="off"
label="Checked"
defaultChecked
/>
<CFormCheck
button={{ color: 'primary' }}
id="btn-check-3"
autoComplete="off"
label="Disabled"
disabled
/>

Radio toggle buttons#

<CFormCheck button={{ color: 'secondary' }} type="radio" name="options" id="option1" autoComplete="off" label="Checked" defaultChecked/>
<CFormCheck button={{ color: 'secondary' }} type="radio" name="options" id="option2" autoComplete="off" label="Radio"/>
<CFormCheck button={{ color: 'secondary' }} type="radio" name="options" id="option3" autoComplete="off" label="Radio" disabled/>
<CFormCheck button={{ color: 'secondary' }} type="radio" name="options" id="option4" autoComplete="off" label="Radio"/>

Outlined styles#

Different variants of button, such at the various outlined styles, are supported.

<div>
<CFormCheck button={{ color: 'primary', variant: 'outline' }} id="btn-check-outlined" autoComplete="off" label="Single toggle"/>
</div>
<div>
<CFormCheck button={{ color: 'secondary', variant: 'outline' }} id="btn-check-2-outlined" autoComplete="off" label="Checked" defaultChecked/>
</div>
<div>
<CFormCheck button={{ color: 'success', variant: 'outline' }} type="radio" name="options-outlined" id="success-outlined" autoComplete="off" label="Radio" defaultChecked/>
<CFormCheck button={{ color: 'danger', variant: 'outline' }} type="radio" name="options-outlined" id="danger-outlined" autoComplete="off" label="Radio"/>
</div>
