Checkbox

Checkboxes allow users to select one or more options from a set. Each checkbox can toggle between checked and unchecked states.

Usage

Import the component:

import 'mdui/components/checkbox.js';

Import the TypeScript type:

import type { Checkbox } from 'mdui/components/checkbox.js';

Example:

Checkbox

<mdui-checkbox>Checkbox</mdui-checkbox>

Use the unchecked-icon, checked-icon, and indeterminate-icon attributes to set Material Icons for the checkbox in unchecked, checked, and indeterminate states, respectively. Alternatively, use the corresponding slots for setting icons.

Checkbox

<mdui-checkbox
  unchecked-icon="radio_button_unchecked"
  checked-icon="check_circle"
  indeterminate-icon="playlist_add_check_circle"
>Checkbox</mdui-checkbox>

<mdui-checkbox
  indeterminate
  unchecked-icon="radio_button_unchecked"
  checked-icon="check_circle"
  indeterminate-icon="playlist_add_check_circle"
>Checkbox</mdui-checkbox>

<br/>

<mdui-checkbox>
  <mdui-icon slot="unchecked-icon" name="radio_button_unchecked"></mdui-icon>
  <mdui-icon slot="checked-icon" name="check_circle"></mdui-icon>
  <mdui-icon slot="indeterminate-icon" name="playlist_add_check_circle"></mdui-icon>
  Checkbox
</mdui-checkbox>

  <mdui-icon slot="indeterminate-icon" name="playlist_add_check_circle"></mdui-icon>
