docs Checks Create consistent cross-browser and cross-device checkboxes and radios with our completely rewritten checks component. forms true

Approach

Browser default checkboxes and radios are replaced with the help of .form-check, a series of classes for both input types that improves the layout and behavior of their HTML elements, that provide greater customization and cross browser consistency. Checkboxes are for selecting one or several options in a list, while radios are for selecting one option from many.

Structurally, our <input>s and <label>s are sibling elements as opposed to an <input> within a <label>. This is slightly more verbose as you must specify id and for attributes to relate the <input> and <label>. We use the sibling selector (~) for all our <input> states, like :checked or :disabled. When combined with the .form-check-label class, we can easily style the text for each item based on the <input>'s state.

Our checks use custom Bootstrap icons to indicate checked or indeterminate states.

Checks

{{< example >}}

{{< /example >}}

Indeterminate

Checkboxes can utilize the :indeterminate pseudo class when manually set via JavaScript (there is no available HTML attribute for specifying it).

{{< example class="bd-example-indeterminate">}}

{{< /example >}}

Disabled

Add the disabled attribute and the associated <label>s are automatically styled to match with a lighter color to help indicate the input's state.

{{< example >}}

{{< /example >}}

Radios

{{< example >}}

{{< /example >}}

Disabled

Add the disabled attribute and the associated <label>s are automatically styled to match with a lighter color to help indicate the input's state.

{{< example >}}

{{< /example >}}

Switches

A switch has the markup of a custom checkbox but uses the .form-switch class to render a toggle switch. Switches also support the disabled attribute.

{{< example >}}

{{< /example >}}

Default (stacked)

By default, any number of checkboxes and radios that are immediate sibling will be vertically stacked and appropriately spaced with .form-check.

{{< example >}}

{{< /example >}}

{{< example >}}

{{< /example >}}

Inline

Group checkboxes or radios on the same horizontal row by adding .form-check-inline to any .form-check.

{{< example >}}

{{< /example >}}

{{< example >}}

{{< /example >}}

Without labels

Omit the wrapping .form-check for checkboxes and radios that have no label text. Remember to still provide some form of label for assistive technologies (for instance, using aria-label).

{{< example >}}

{{< /example >}}
