react-checkbox-component

This component was built to give the developer a partially customizable checkbox component. In this component the developer can customize the size, color, shape, initial value and onchange handle event.

To install this component run npm i react-checkbox-component in your project folder and import it like import Checkbox from 'react-checkbox-component'.

Example:

Default:
<Checkbox onChange={this.handler}/>
Customized: 
<Checkbox size="small" isChecked={this.state.checked} onChange={this.handler}
    color="#fc14bb"/>

isChecked

The isChecked prop is used to set the initial state of the checkbox. The state can either be:

• True (Checked)
• False (Unchecked, default)

Example:

<Checkbox isChecked="true"/>

onChange

The onChange prop is used to set the handle function of the component. It is required to receive a function receiving one parameter, that parameter being the new value of the checkbox.

Example:

handler(newVal){
    this.setState({
        checkboxChecked: newVal
    })
}

...
render(){
    return(
        ...
        <Checkbox onChange={this.handler}/>
        ...
    )
}

size

The size prop sets the size of the checkbox. This prop can take the following values:

• small
• medium (default)
• big

Example:

<Checkbox size="small" onChange={this.handler}/>
<Checkbox size="medium" onChange={this.handler}/>
<Checkbox size="big" onChange={this.handler}/>

shape

The shape prop sets the shape of the checkbox. This can be:

• square
• circle
• round

Example:

<Checkbox shape="square" onChange={this.handler}/>
<Checkbox shape="circle" onChange={this.handler}/>
<Checkbox shape="round" onChange={this.handler}/>

color

The color prop is used to set the color of the checkbox. It can take the component default values as well as hex, rgb/rgba and hsl/hsla values. The component default values are the following:

• grey (when there is no color prop being passed to the component)
• red
• blue
• green
• orange

Example:

<Checkbox onChange={this.handler}/>
<Checkbox onChange={this.handler}
    color="red"/>
<Checkbox onChange={this.handler}
    color="blue"/>
<Checkbox onChange={this.handler}
    color="green"/>
<Checkbox onChange={this.handler}
    color="orange"/>
<Checkbox onChange={this.handler}
    color="#fc14bb"/>
