# Checkbox

Use checkboxes to give customers a single binary option, such as signing up for marketing, or agreeing to terms and conditions.

## CheckboxProps

* id

  string

  A unique identifier for the field. When no `id` is set, a globally unique value will be used instead.

* name

  string

  An identifier for the field that is unique within the nearest containing `Form` component.

* value

  boolean

  Whether the checkbox is active. This prop is an alias for `checked`, and can be useful in form libraries that provide a normalized API for dealing with both `boolean` and `string` values. If both `value` and `checked` are set, `checked` takes precedence.

* checked

  boolean

  Whether the checkbox is active.

* disabled

  boolean

  Whether the checkbox can be changed.

* error

  string

  Indicate an error to the user. The field will be given a specific stylistic treatment to communicate problems that have to be resolved immediately.

* accessibilityLabel

  string

  A label used for buyers using assistive technologies. When set, any `children` supplied to this component will not be announced to screen reader users.

* onChange

  (value: boolean) => void

  A callback that is run whenever the checkbox is changed. This callback is called with a boolean indicating whether the checkbox should now be active or inactive. This component is [controlled](https://reactjs.org/docs/forms.html#controlled-components), so you must store this value in state and reflect it back in the `checked` or `value` props.

* toggles

  string

  The component's identifier whose visibility will be toggled when this component is actioned.

### Examples

* #### Basic Checkbox

  ##### React

  ```tsx
  import {render, Checkbox} from '@shopify/checkout-ui-extensions-react';

  render('Checkout::Dynamic::Render', () => <Extension />);

  function Extension() {
    return (
      <Checkbox id="checkbox" name="checkbox">
        Save this information for next time
      </Checkbox>
    );
  }
  ```

  ##### JS

  ```js
  import {extend, Checkbox} from '@shopify/checkout-ui-extensions';

  extend('Checkout::Dynamic::Render', (root) => {
    const checkbox = root.createComponent(
      Checkbox,
      {id: 'checkbox', name: 'checkbox'},
      'Save this information for next time',
    );

    root.appendChild(checkbox);
  });
  ```

## Examples

Embedding links in checkbox components

To provide buyers with additional information or references, couple it with link components seamlessly within checkbox components. This can be done by including links as part of the checkbox label in the checkbox. This will provide an easy way to access relevant content that buyers may need.
