Checkbox

The QCheckbox component is another basic element for user input. You can use this to supply a way for the user to toggle an option.

TIP

Please also refer to the QOptionGroup on other possibilities for creating groups of Checkboxes.

Indeterminate state

In the example below, as soon as you click on the first checkbox it starts toggling between true/false. The second checkbox, on the other hand toggles between the three states (indeterminate/true/false) with help from toggle-indeterminate. You can optionally set the property indeterminate-value, otherwise the indeterminate value will be considered null.

Indeterminate state



Toggle order

By default, QCheckbox follows this chain when toggling: indeterminate -> checked -> unchecked. However, you can change this behavior through the toggle-order prop. This property determines the order of the states and can be tf (default) or ft (t stands for state of true/checked while f for state of false/unchecked).

Toggling order is:

  • if toggle-indeterminate is true, then: indet -> first state -> second state -> indet (and repeat)
  • otherwise (no toggle-indeterminate): indet -> first state -> second state -> first state -> second state -> …

TIP

You can also use QOptionGroup, which simplifies the usage when you have groups of checkboxes, like in example below.

Usage with QOptionGroup



With QItem

In the example below, we are rendering a <label> tag (notice tag="label") so the QCheckbox will respond to clicks on QItems to change toggle state.

Native form submit

When dealing with a native form which has an action and a method (eg. when using Quasar with ASP.NET controllers), you need to specify the name property on QCheckbox, otherwise formData will not contain it (if it should) - all value are converted to string (native behaviour, so do not use Object values):
