Checkboxes allow users to select one or more items from a list of options.

import { registerCheckbox } from '@vonage/vivid';

registerCheckbox('your-prefix');

Checkbox follows the W3C specification for <input type="checkbox">.

Controlling State

Aria Checked

As an alternative to the checked and indeterminate members, you can use the aria-checked attribute to set the Checkbox's checked state. It reflects the checked state as well as the indeterminate state with the value "mixed".

The ariaChecked property of the Element interface reflects the value of the aria-checked attribute, which indicates the current "checked" state of checkboxes. A string with one of the following values: "true" The element is checked. "mixed" Indicates a mixed mode value for a tri-state checkbox. "false" The element supports being checked but is not currently checked. "undefined" The element does not support being checked. -- mdn

The aria-checked prop will no longer set the state (as of 06/25) . It is still functional in the component, but will be updated in a future major release. This will be communicated when it's change becomes a release candidate at the end of the support period.

Slots

Default

The default slot allows you to use rich content as the Checkbox's label.

Helper Text

The helper-text slot allows you to use rich content as the Checkbox's helper text.
