Switch in Item for React

An outlined item with a title, a description and a switch that starts on.

Framework
UI library

A Switch in an outlined Item, with Auto-save as the title and a line of description. Item gives the row its padding, border and text styles, so a settings list keeps one look without custom layout.

FAQ

Which Item parts wrap the copy?

Item sets variant="outline" and bg-background. ItemContent holds ItemTitle (Auto-save) and ItemDescription, and ItemActions holds the Switch.

Does the title toggle the switch?

No. ItemTitle is text, not a label, so the switch has aria-label (Auto-save). When clicking the title should toggle it, use a Field with a FieldLabel as in Switch with Description.

How do I control this switch in React?

The switch starts on through its default prop, which only sets the starting state; after that it keeps its own state. To control it, keep the on or off state in your own state and pass it back. The prop is defaultChecked. Pass checked; onCheckedChange receives the new boolean.

Does this switch submit with a form?

Give it a name. When on, it submits its value, which defaults to on. When off, it submits nothing. With Base UI, uncheckedValue sets what it submits when off.

How do I make this switch smaller?

Set size="sm". The default size is default. For a different track or thumb, edit those classes in the Switch file in your ui folder.

Which keys toggle the switch?

Tab moves focus to the switch. Space toggles it, and so does Enter.
