Checkbox
Renders an accessible checkbox element. If the underlying element is not a native checkbox, this component will pass additional attributes to make sure it's accessible.
Code examples
Optional Props
accessibleWhenDisabled
boolean | undefined
Indicates whether the element should be focusable even when it is
disabled
.
This is important when discoverability is a concern. For example:
A toolbar in an editor contains a set of special smart paste functions that are disabled when the clipboard is empty or when the function is not applicable to the current content of the clipboard. It could be helpful to keep the disabled buttons focusable if the ability to discover their functionality is primarily via their presence on the toolbar.

autoFocus
boolean | undefined = false
Automatically focuses the element upon mounting, similar to the native
autoFocus
prop. This addresses an issue where the element with the native
autoFocus
attribute might receive focus before React effects are
executed.
The autoFocus
prop can also be used with
Focusable elements within a
Dialog component, establishing the
initial focus as the dialog opens.
Note: For this prop to work, the
focusable
prop must be
set to true
, if it's not set by default.
Live examples
checked
boolean | "mixed" | undefined
The checked state of the checkbox. This will override the value inferred
from store
prop, if
provided. This can be "mixed"
to indicate that the checkbox is partially
checked.
clickOnEnter
boolean | undefined = true
If set to true
, pressing the enter key while this element is focused will
trigger a click on the element, regardless of whether it's a native button
or not. If this prop is set to false
, pressing enter will not initiate a
click.
clickOnSpace
boolean | undefined = true
If set to true
, pressing and releasing the space key while this element
is focused will trigger a click on the element, regardless of whether it's
a native button or not. If this prop is set to false
, space will not
initiate a click.
defaultChecked
boolean | "mixed" | undefined
The default checked state of the checkbox. This prop is ignored if the
checked
or the
store
props are provided.
disabled
boolean | undefined = false
Determines if the element is disabled. This sets the aria-disabled
attribute accordingly, enabling support for all elements, including those
that don't support the native disabled
attribute.
This feature can be combined with the
accessibleWhenDisabled
prop to make disabled elements still accessible via keyboard.
Note: For this prop to work, the
focusable
prop must be
set to true
, if it's not set by default.
Live examples
focusable
boolean | undefined = true
Determines if Focusable features should be active on non-native focusable elements.
Note: This prop only turns off the additional features provided by the
Focusable
component.
Non-native focusable elements will lose their focusability entirely.
However, native focusable elements will retain their inherent focusability,
but without added features such as improved
autoFocus
,
accessibleWhenDisabled
,
onFocusVisible
,
etc.
name
string | undefined
The native name
attribute.
Live examples
onChange
React.ChangeEventHandler<HTMLInputElement> | undefined
A function that is called when the checkbox's checked state changes.
onFocusVisible
BivariantCallback<(event: React.SyntheticEvent<HTMLElement, Event>) => void> | undefined
Custom event handler invoked when the element gains focus through keyboard
interaction or a key press occurs while the element is in focus. This is
the programmatic equivalent of the
data-focus-visible
attribute.
Note: For this prop to work, the
focusable
prop must be
set to true
, if it's not set by default.

render
RenderProp<React.HTMLAttributes<any> & { ref?: React.Ref<any> | undefined; }> | React.ReactElement<any, string | React.JSXElementConstructor<any>> | undefined
Allows the component to be rendered as a different HTML element or React component. The value can be a React element or a function that takes in the original component props and gives back a React element with the props merged.
Check out the Composition guide for more details.
store
CheckboxStore<CheckboxStoreValue> | undefined
Object returned by the
useCheckboxStore
hook. If not provided, the closest
CheckboxProvider
component's context will be used. Otherwise, the component will fall back
to an internal store.
Live examples
value
string | number | readonly string[] | undefined
The value of the checkbox. This is useful when the same checkbox store is
used for multiple Checkbox
elements, in which case the value will be an array of checked values.
