# Checkbox
This page contains all possible variations of the VUE checkbox component.
A checkbox
lets users select one or more values as part of a form process.
NOTE
The checkbox
component can ONLY be used as a single element
# Getting and Setting
# v-model
The checkbox
takes advantage of the v-model
syntax to sync values with a parent.
<GocoCheckbox v-model="isChecked" />
data() {
return {
isChecked: false
}
}
# Props and Events
When working with Vuex, you'll need to trigger a mutation rather than mutating
a value directly. The checkbox
exposes the checked
prop and a changed
event
to enable this. You can bind the checked value with :checked="isChecked"
,
and use the changed
event to trigger a mutation or dispatch an action.
<GocoCheckbox :checked="isChecked" @changed="setChecked" />
computed: {
isChecked() {
return this.$store.getters.isChecked;
}
},
methods: {
setChecked(value) {
// trigger a mutation, or dispatch an action
}
}
# Default
<GocoCheckbox
id="checkbox-default"
label="Checkbox Label"
name="checkbox-default" />
# Custom Label Content
The checkbox
makes use of slots.
This makes it possible to nest custom label content inside the component. The slot content takes
precedence over the label
prop.
NOTE
Any custom markup passed to the checkbox will need to be independently styled.
<GocoCheckbox id="checkbox-custom-label" name="checkbox-custom-label">
<div>Custom label content</div>
</GocoCheckbox>
