Newsletter

Receive occasional product updates and announcements.

import { Checkbox } from '@/components/ui/checkbox';
import {
  Field,
  FieldContent,
  FieldDescription,
  FieldLabel,
} from '@/components/ui/field';

export default function CheckboxDescription() {
  return (
    <Field orientation="horizontal">
      <Checkbox id="checkbox-description-newsletter" defaultChecked />
      <FieldContent>
        <FieldLabel htmlFor="checkbox-description-newsletter">
          Newsletter
        </FieldLabel>
        <FieldDescription>
          Receive occasional product updates and announcements.
        </FieldDescription>
      </FieldContent>
    </Field>
  );
}

Disabled

import * as stylex from '@stylexjs/stylex';

import { Checkbox } from '@/components/ui/checkbox';
import { space, fontSize } from '@/lib/constants.stylex';
import { colors, font } from '@/lib/tokens.stylex';

export default function CheckboxDisabled() {
  return (
    <label {...stylex.props(styles.label, styles.disabled)}>
      <Checkbox disabled defaultChecked /> Disabled
    </label>
  );
}

const styles = stylex.create({
  label: {
    alignItems: 'center',
    color: colors.foreground,
    display: 'flex',
    fontFamily: font.sans,
    fontSize: fontSize.sm,
    gap: space.s2,
  },
  disabled: {
    opacity: 0.5,
  },
});

Invalid

Set invalid on Field to show validation errors — the label and error message pick up the invalid styling, and aria-invalid is applied to the checkbox automatically.

Accept terms and conditions

import { Checkbox } from '@/components/ui/checkbox';
import { Field, FieldContent, FieldError, FieldLabel } from '@/components/ui/field';

export default function CheckboxInvalid() {
  return (
    <Field orientation="horizontal" invalid>
      <Checkbox id="checkbox-invalid-terms" />
      <FieldContent>
        <FieldLabel htmlFor="checkbox-invalid-terms">
          Accept terms and conditions
        </FieldLabel>
        <FieldError>You must accept the terms to continue.</FieldError>
      </FieldContent>
    </Field>
  );
}

Built on Base UI Checkbox. The tables below cover the props this library adds or changes — every other prop is forwarded to the underlying Base UI part; see the Base UI Checkbox API reference for the full list.

Checkbox

Prop	Type	Default	Description
`checked`	`boolean`	—	Controlled checked state.
`defaultChecked`	`boolean`	`false`
`onCheckedChange`	`(checked: boolean) => void`	—
`indeterminate`	`boolean`	`false`
`disabled`	`boolean`	`false`
`style`	`StyleXStyles`	—	StyleX styles merged last — always win over the component’s own styles.
