Toggles for binary settings

Toggles represent boolean settings with immediate visual state. Use them in React settings panels and Next.js account pages where checkboxes feel too form-heavy.

Examples

Neutral appearance with a spring thumb animation.

Toggle variants examples

Track colors by appearance and thumb scale by size. Code uses a Variant: lead-in per row.

Controlled: Unchecked

CSS variable overrides

Toggle CSS variables

Override these toggle variables on :root, a theme selector, or a component wrapper.

What it does

Expose role=switch semantics and synchronize aria-checked with visual state.

Avoid using toggles for non-binary choices.

Composition and API

Prefer compound subcomponents instead of one oversized prop bag. Export a small, documented API for your design system.

Provide visible labels; do not rely on color alone for on/off meaning.

Common use cases

  • Feature flags for beta capabilities.
  • Notification preferences with instant feedback.
  • Compact filters on mobile toolbars.
  • Dark mode switches paired with system sync copy.

Accessibility

Keyboard order, focus rings, and ARIA attributes should match production usage. Test with your supported browsers and assistive technologies when semantics are non-trivial.

This preview page exposes a single h1 in the hero for a clean outline.

Next.js integration notes

Colocate examples under the App Router, keep server and client boundaries explicit, and avoid pulling interactive overlays into unexpected server layouts.

Set NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL so canonical and Open Graph URLs resolve on deploy.

FAQ

Does the Toggle component work with Next.js App Router?

Yes. Import it like any other React component; keep interactive subtrees in client components when you need hooks or browser APIs, and leave static structure in server components where possible.

Can I customize toggle with Tailwind CSS?

Zentauri UI exposes class-friendly variants and slots so you can extend styles with Tailwind utilities without fighting inline styles.

Is this Toggle implementation accessible by default?

Primitives follow sensible defaults, but accessibility depends on how you label controls, manage focus, and wire keyboard handlers in your app. Validate critical flows with keyboard-only use and screen readers.
