Checkbox

A group of options for multiple choices.

Basic usage

Checkbox can be used alone to switch between two states.

:::demo Define v-model(bind variable) in el-checkbox. The default value is a Boolean for single checkbox, and it becomes true when selected. Content inside the el-checkbox tag will become the description following the button of the checkbox.

<template>
  <!-- `checked` should be true or false -->
  <el-checkbox v-model="checked">Option</el-checkbox>
</template>
<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        checked: true
      };
    }
  };
</script>

:::

Disabled State

Disabled state for checkbox.

:::demo Set the disabled attribute.

<template>
  <el-checkbox v-model="checked1" disabled>Option</el-checkbox>
  <el-checkbox v-model="checked2" disabled>Option</el-checkbox>
</template>
<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        checked1: false,
        checked2: true
      };
    }
  };
</script>

:::

Checkbox group

It is used for multiple checkboxes which are bound in one group, and indicates whether one option is selected by checking if it is checked.

:::demo checkbox-group element can manage multiple checkboxes in one group by using v-model which is bound as an Array. Inside the el-checkbox element, label is the value of the checkbox. If no content is nested in that tag, label will be rendered as the description following the button of the checkbox. label also corresponds with the element values in the array. It is selected if the specified value exists in the array, and vice versa.

<template>
  <el-checkbox-group v-model="checkList">
    <el-checkbox label="Option A"></el-checkbox>
    <el-checkbox label="Option B"></el-checkbox>
    <el-checkbox label="Option C"></el-checkbox>
    <el-checkbox label="disabled" disabled></el-checkbox>
    <el-checkbox label="selected and disabled" disabled></el-checkbox>
  </el-checkbox-group>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    data () {
      return {
        checkList: ['selected and disabled','Option A']
      };
    }
  };
</script>

:::

Indeterminate

The indeterminate property can help you to achieve a 'check all' effect.

:::demo

<template>
  <el-checkbox :indeterminate="isIndeterminate" v-model="checkAll" @change="handleCheckAllChange">Check all</el-checkbox>
  <div style="margin: 15px 0;"></div>
  <el-checkbox-group v-model="checkedCities" @change="handleCheckedCitiesChange">
    <el-checkbox v-for="city in cities" :label="city" :key="city">{{city}}</el-checkbox>
  </el-checkbox-group>
</template>
<script>
  const cityOptions = ['Shanghai', 'Beijing', 'Guangzhou', 'Shenzhen'];
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        checkAll: false,
        checkedCities: ['Shanghai', 'Beijing'],
        cities: cityOptions,
        isIndeterminate: true
      };
    },
    methods: {
      handleCheckAllChange(val) {
        this.checkedCities = val ? cityOptions : [];
        this.isIndeterminate = false;
      },
      handleCheckedCitiesChange(value) {
        let checkedCount = value.length;
        this.checkAll = checkedCount === this.cities.length;
        this.isIndeterminate = checkedCount > 0 && checkedCount < this.cities.length;
      }
    }
  };
</script>

:::

Minimum / Maximum items checked

The min and max properties can help you to limit the number of checked items.

:::demo

<template>
  <el-checkbox-group 
    v-model="checkedCities"
    :min="1"
    :max="2">
    <el-checkbox v-for="city in cities" :label="city" :key="city">{{city}}</el-checkbox>
  </el-checkbox-group>
</template>
<script>
  const cityOptions = ['Shanghai', 'Beijing', 'Guangzhou', 'Shenzhen'];
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        checkedCities: ['Shanghai', 'Beijing'],
        cities: cityOptions
      };
    }
  };
</script>

:::

Button style

Checkbox with button styles.

:::demo You just need to change el-checkbox element into el-checkbox-button element. We also provide size attribute.

<template>
  <div>
    <el-checkbox-group v-model="checkboxGroup1">
      <el-checkbox-button v-for="city in cities" :label="city" :key="city">{{city}}</el-checkbox-button>
    </el-checkbox-group>
  </div>
  <div style="margin-top: 20px">
    <el-checkbox-group v-model="checkboxGroup2" size="medium">
      <el-checkbox-button v-for="city in cities" :label="city" :key="city">{{city}}</el-checkbox-button>
    </el-checkbox-group>
  </div>
  <div style="margin-top: 20px">
    <el-checkbox-group v-model="checkboxGroup3" size="small">
      <el-checkbox-button v-for="city in cities" :label="city" :disabled="city === 'Beijing'" :key="city">{{city}}</el-checkbox-button>
    </el-checkbox-group>
  </div>
  <div style="margin-top: 20px">
    <el-checkbox-group v-model="checkboxGroup4" size="mini" disabled>
      <el-checkbox-button v-for="city in cities" :label="city" :key="city">{{city}}</el-checkbox-button>
    </el-checkbox-group>
  </div>
</template>
<script>
  const cityOptions = ['Shanghai', 'Beijing', 'Guangzhou', 'Shenzhen'];

  export default {
    data () {
      return {
        checkboxGroup1: ['Shanghai'],
        checkboxGroup2: ['Shanghai'],
        checkboxGroup3: ['Shanghai'],
        checkboxGroup4: ['Shanghai'],
        cities: cityOptions
      };
    }
  }
</script>

:::

With borders

:::demo The border attribute adds a border to Checkboxes.

<template>
  <div>
    <el-checkbox v-model="checked1" label="Option1" border></el-checkbox>
    <el-checkbox v-model="checked2" label="Option2" border></el-checkbox>
  </div>
  <div style="margin-top: 20px">
    <el-checkbox v-model="checked3" label="Option1" border size="medium"></el-checkbox>
    <el-checkbox v-model="checked4" label="Option2" border size="medium"></el-checkbox>
  </div>
  <div style="margin-top: 20px">
    <el-checkbox-group v-model="checkboxGroup1" size="small">
      <el-checkbox label="Option1" border></el-checkbox>
      <el-checkbox label="Option2" border disabled></el-checkbox>
    </el-checkbox-group>
  </div>
  <div style="margin-top: 20px">
    <el-checkbox-group v-model="checkboxGroup2" size="mini" disabled>
      <el-checkbox label="Option1" border></el-checkbox>
      <el-checkbox label="Option2" border></el-checkbox>
    </el-checkbox-group>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    data () {
      return {
        checked1: true,
        checked2: false,
        checked3: false,
        checked4: true,
        checkboxGroup1: [],
        checkboxGroup2: []
      };
    }
  }
</script>
