Description #

<sp-checkbox> allow users to select multiple items from a list of independent options, or to mark an individual option as selected.

Should I use a checkbox or a switch? Use a switch when activating something instead of selecting.

Usage #

See it on NPM! How big is this package in your project? Try it on webcomponents.dev

yarn add @spectrum-web-components/checkbox

Import the side effectful registration of <sp-checkbox> via:

import '@spectrum-web-components/checkbox/sp-checkbox.js';

When looking to leverage the Checkbox base class as a type and/or for extension purposes, do so via:

import { Checkbox } from '@spectrum-web-components/checkbox';

Emphasized checkboxes #

Emphasized checkboxes are a secondary style for checkboxes. The blue color provides a visual prominence that is optimal for forms, settings, lists or grids of assets, etc. where the checkboxes need to be noticed.

<div style="display: flex; justify-content: space-between;">
    <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; justify-content: space-between;">
        <h4 class="spectrum-Heading--subtitle1">Default</h4>
        <sp-checkbox emphasized>Web component</sp-checkbox>
        <sp-checkbox emphasized checked>Web component</sp-checkbox>
        <sp-checkbox emphasized indeterminate>Web component</sp-checkbox>
    </div>

    <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column;">
        <h4 class="spectrum-Heading--subtitle1">Invalid</h4>
        <sp-checkbox emphasized invalid>Web component</sp-checkbox>
        <sp-checkbox emphasized checked invalid>Web component</sp-checkbox>
        <sp-checkbox emphasized indeterminate invalid>Web component</sp-checkbox>
    </div>

    <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column;">
        <h4 class="spectrum-Heading--subtitle1">Disabled</h4>
        <sp-checkbox emphasized disabled>Web component</sp-checkbox>
        <sp-checkbox emphasized checked disabled>Web component</sp-checkbox>
        <sp-checkbox emphasized indeterminate disabled>Web component</sp-checkbox>
    </div>
</div>

Handling events #

Event handlers for clicks and other user actions can be registered on an <sp-checkbox> as they would a standard <input type="checkbox"> element.

<sp-checkbox
    id="checkbox-example"
    onclick="spAlert(this, '<sp-radio> clicked!')"
>
    Web component
</sp-checkbox>

Accessibility #

Checkboxes are accessible by default, rendered in HTML using the <input type="checkbox"> element. When the checkbox is set as indeterminate or invalid, the appropriate ARIA state attribute will automatically be applied.
