Checkbox

To implement Checkbox component into your project you’ll need to add the import:

import Checkbox from "@kiwicom/orbit-components/lib/Checkbox";

After adding import into your project you can use it simply like:

<Checkbox label="Checkbox" />

Props

Table below contains all types of the props available in Checkbox component.

Name	Type	Default	Description
checked	`boolean`	`false`	If `true`, the Checkbox will be checked.
disabled	`boolean`	`false`	If `true`, the Checkbox will be set up as disabled.
dataTest	`string`		Optional prop for testing purposes.
id	`string`		Set `id` for `Checkbox`
hasError	`boolean`	`false`	If `true`, the border of the Checkbox will turn red. See Functional specs
info	`React.Node`		The additional info about the Checkbox.
label	`string`		The label of the Checkbox.
name	`string`		The name for the Checkbox.
onChange	`event => void \\| Promise`		Function for handling onChange event.
ref	`func`		Prop for forwarded ref of the Checkbox. See Functional specs
tabIndex	`string \\| number`		Specifies the tab order of an element
tooltip	`Element<Tooltip>`		Optional property when you need to attach Tooltip to the Checkbox. See Functional specs

Functional specs

The hasError prop will be visible only when the Checkbox has checked or disabled prop set on false.
ref can be used for example auto-focus the elements immediately after render.

import * as React from "react";
class Component extends React.PureComponent<Props> {
  componentDidMount() {
    this.ref.current && this.ref.current.focus();
  }
  ref: { current: React.ElementRef<*> | null } = React.createRef();
  render() {
    return <Checkbox ref={this.ref} />;
  }
}

The tooltip property is useful when you need to visually attach Tooltip component only to the Checkbox’s glyph, not the label or other parts of the Checkbox.
