Checkbox¶

Checkbox is an extension to a standard checkbox element with theming.

Usage¶

Include the vc-checkbox component in your Vue application, providing theming and enhanced functionality to your checkbox inputs.

vc-checkbox

Basic VueDynamic Views

Create a basic checkbox as follows:

<template>
    <vc-checkbox :modelValue="checkboxProperty" label="Checkbox label">{{ Checkbox text content }}</vc-checkbox>
</template>

To start using all the available checkbox properties, specify the vc-checkbox component when creating the schema. For example:

{
    id: "checkboxId",
    component: "vc-checkbox",
    label: "Checkbox label",
    property: "checkboxProperty",
    content: "Checkbox text content",
}

Checkbox API¶

API empowers you to create dynamic and interactive checkbox components to customize its appearance and behavior.

Basic Vue¶

You can easily incorporate the vc-checkbox component into your Vue applications using simple templates.

Props¶

To customize the appearance and behavior of checkboxes, use the following props:

Property and Type	Description
`modelValue` {`MaybeRef<boolean>`}	The value of the component.
`disabled` {boolean}	Disabled state for the component.
`required` {boolean}	Indicates if the component is required.
`name` {string}	The name attribute of the component.
`errorMessage` {string}	The error message to display when validation fails.
`trueValue` {boolean}	Set value for checked state. Default: `true`
`falseValue` {boolean}	Set value for unchecked state. Default: `false`
`label` {string}	The label of the component.
`tooltip` {string}	The tooltip text to display when hovering over the component.

Slots¶

To enhance the content of the vc-checkbox component, use the slot system:

Name	Description
`default`	Checkbox text content slot.
`error`	Slot for error message

Emits¶

To interact with the vc-checkbox component, use the emitted events. The update:modelValue event is triggered when the value of the component changes:

Name	Parameters	ReturnType	Description
`update:modelValue`	value: `boolean`	`void`	Emitted when the value of the component changes.

Dynamic Views¶

To dynamically integrate the vc-checkbox component into your views, use the schema interface:

interface CheckboxSchema {
    id: string;
    component: "vc-checkbox";
    trueValue?: boolean;
    falseValue?: boolean;
    label?: string;
    rules?: IValidationRules;
    tooltip?: string;
    property: string;
    content?: string;
    update?: {
        method: string
    };
    disabled?: {
        method: string;
    };
    visibility?: {
        method: string;
    };
    horizontalSeparator?: boolean;
}

To incorporate the checkbox into your dynamic applications, define the following properties:

Property	Description
`id` {string}	The unique Id for `vc-checkbox` component.
`component` {string}	`vc-checkbox`
`trueValue` {boolean}	Set value for checked state.
`falseValue` {boolean}	Set value for unchecked state.
`label` {string}	Checkbox label that is displayed above the checkbox. Also available interpolation `{}` syntax based on current element context. You can specify the localization key for the `label`. Under the hood, vue-i18n is used.

`content` {string}	Text content that is displayed on the right side of the checkbox. You can specify the localization key for the `content`. Under the hood, vue-i18n is used.
`update` {{method: string}}	Update method that is called when checkbox value is changed. It gets changed value, schema property name and field internal context as arguments. Method should be defined in the blade `scope`.
`disabled` {{method: string}}	Disabled state for component, could be used to disable checkbox based on some conditions. Method or variable should be defined in the blade `scope` and should return a boolean value.
`visibility` {{method: string}}	Visibility state for component, could be used to hide checkbox based on some conditions. Method or variable should be defined in the blade `scope` and should return a boolean value.
