React Checkbox – Customizable Multiple-Choice Selection UI

Overview

The React Checkbox is a custom HTML5 input component for selecting one or more options from a predefined list. It supports an indeterminate state, multiple sizes, customizable label positions, and flexible UI styling.

React Checkbox code example

Get started with the React Checkbox using a few simple lines of TSX code, as demonstrated below. Also, explore this React Checkbox example, which shows how to render and configure the Checkbox in React.

import { Checkbox } from '@syncfusion/react-buttons';

export default function App() {
    return (
    <div className="component-section">
        <Checkbox label='Checkbox' defaultChecked/>
    </div>
    );
}

Checkbox states

A single checkbox toggles between checked and unchecked states. To prevent toggling, use the disable option, which makes it inactive.

Tri-state or indeterminate checkbox

The React Checkbox component includes built-in support for an indeterminate state, allowing developers to represent partial selections within a group. This feature is especially useful in hierarchical or multi-level selection scenarios where only some child options are selected.

Forms support

The Checkbox integrates seamlessly with native HTML form validation. This ensures consistent behavior across form submissions, enabling validation of required fields and improving overall form reliability and accessibility.
