Checkbox

Checkbox enables the user to check/uncheck choice. It has input, a label, and an optional helperText. It could be disabled or have a validation state. The label could be hidden and show if the input is required.

Basic example usage:


                                                
                                                <Checkbox id="checkboxDefault" label="Label" name="checkboxDefault" />

Advanced example usage:


                                                
                                                <Checkbox
                                                  id="checkboxAdvanced"
                                                  isChecked
                                                  isRequired
                                                  name="checkboxAdvanced"
                                                  validationText="validation text"
                                                  validationState="danger"
                                                  helperText="Helper text"
                                                />

Custom component

Text field classes are fabricated using useCheckboxStyleProps hook. You can use it to create your own custom Checkbox component.


                                                
                                                const CustomCheckbox = (props: SpiritCheckboxProps): JSX.Element => {
                                                  const { classProps, props: modifiedProps } = useCheckboxStyleProps(props);
                                                
                                                  return (
                                                    <label htmlFor={props.id} className={classProps.root}>
                                                      <input {...modifiedProps} className={classProps.input} />
                                                      <span className={styleProps.text}>
                                                        <span className={styleProps.label}>{props.label}</span>
                                                        <span className={styleProps.helperText}>{props.helperText}</span>
                                                        <span className={styleProps.validationText}>{props.validationText}</span>
                                                      </span>
                                                    </label>
                                                  );
                                                };
