Simple & stylish replacement for checkboxes, made with css only.

Demo

How to

Installation

npm i -S z-switch

Import the css stylesheet

// index.html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/z-switch/css/z-switch.css">

OR use the sass one

For example, you can include it via the sass includePath option of node-sass

// npm scripts
node-sass --include-path="node_modules/z-switch/sass/"  sass/style.sass css/style.css

// style.sass
@import 'z-switch'

The default one :

The simplest way to use it is with this html structure :

<label class="z-switch">
    // text can go there
    <input type="checkbox">
    <div class="z-switch--container">
        <div class="z-switch--slider"></div>
    </div>
    // text can go there
    Hello, World!
</label>

Default checked ?

If you want the checkbox to be checked by default, add it the checked attribute.

ON & OFF labels

It is possible to add some text on the switchs to illustrate theire states. (max 3 chars)

For exemple here we will add "ON" & "OFF" labels :

<label class="z-switch">
    // text can go there
    <input type="checkbox">
    <div class="z-switch--container">
        <div class="z-switch--slider" data-on="ON" data-off="OFF"></div>
    </div>
    // text can go there
</label>

Different sizes

Z-Switchs will always fit the parent font size, but it'zs possible to ask for smaller or bigger ones

2 classes can be added to the z-switch element

• z-switch-sm : smaller one (font-size * 2/3)
• z-switch-lg : larger one (font-size * 4/3)

Different shapes

Z-Switchs are circled by default, you can add these classes to change the shape :

• z-switch-square

• z-switch-tictac

Different colors

The classes way

Two alternative colors are available for the switches, you can use it by adding classes

• z-switch-color1

• z-switch-color2

The sass way

You can override the sass variables to change the switches colors, default ones are :

// default colors
$z-switch-off    : #FF6059
$z-switch-on     : #2ACB41
$z-switch-slider : #FEFEFE
$z-switch-text   : #FEFEFE
 
// color1 alternative
$z-switch-color1-off    : #CCCCCC
$z-switch-color1-on     : #03A9F4
$z-switch-color1-slider : #F4F4F4
 
// color2 alternative
$z-switch-color2-off    : #454846
$z-switch-color2-on     : #454846
$z-switch-color2-slider : #B4B6B5

Here is an example with custom colors :

$z-switch-off    : #ffbb59
$z-switch-on     : #cb2aaa
$z-switch-slider : #3ed421
