Usage

React

import React from "react";
import { Checkbox } from "@nice-digital/nds-checkbox";

// The mimimum to be supplied for the input to render is a value and a name

<Checkbox value="yes" name="contact-permission" />;

Note: The React component automatically imports the SCSS, so there's no need to import the SCSS directly yourself.

<Checkbox value="yes" name="contact-permission" />

<Checkbox label="yes" name="contact-permission" />

<Checkbox label="yes" name="contact-permission" disabled={true} />

</div>

anything else

You can pass any other props to the component that will be added to the input tag

const otherProps = {
	"data-testing": true,
	"qa-selection": "checkbox control"
}
<Checkbox label="yes" group="my-group" {...otherProps}  />

SCSS

If you're not using React, then import the SCSS directly into your application by:

@forward '@nice-digital/nds-checkbox/scss/checkbox';

HTML

If you're not using React, then include the SCSS as above and use the HTML:

<div class="checkbox">
	<input
		type="checkbox"
		class="checkbox__input"
		id="contact-preference_email"
		name="contact-preference"
		value="email"
	/>
	<label class="checkbox__label" for="contact-preference_email">
		Email
	</label>
</div>

Error state:

<div class="checkbox checkbox--error">
	<input
		type="checkbox"
		class="checkbox__input"
		id="contact-preference_email"
		name="contact-preference"
		value="email"
	/>
	<label class="checkbox__label" for="contact-preference_email">
		Email
	</label>
</div>
