SwitchUpdated

A toggle switch component for boolean states

Usage

import { Switch, SwitchGroup, Label } from '@heroui/react';

Anatomy

import { Switch, Label, Description } from '@heroui/react';

export default () => (
  <Switch>
    <Switch.Control>
      <Switch.Thumb>
        <Switch.Icon/> {/* Optional */}
      </Switch.Thumb>
    </Switch.Control>
    <Switch.Content>
      <Label />
      <Description /> {/* Optional */}
    </Switch.Content>
  </Switch>
);

For grouping multiple switches, use the SwitchGroup component:

import { Switch, SwitchGroup, Label } from '@heroui/react';

export default () => (
  <SwitchGroup>
    <Switch>
      <Switch.Control>
        <Switch.Thumb />
      </Switch.Control>
      <Label>Option 1</Label>
    </Switch>
    <Switch>
      <Switch.Control>
        <Switch.Thumb />
      </Switch.Control>
      <Label>Option 2</Label>
    </Switch>
  </SwitchGroup>
);

Customization

Tailwind CSS

Global CSS

To customize the Switch component classes, you can use the @layer components directive. Learn more.

@layer components {
  .switch {
    @apply inline-flex gap-3 items-center;
  }

  .switch__control {
    @apply h-5 w-8 bg-gray-400 data-[selected=true]:bg-blue-500;
  }

  .switch__thumb {
    @apply bg-white shadow-sm;
  }

  .switch__content {
    @apply flex flex-col gap-1;
  }

  .switch__icon {
    @apply h-3 w-3 text-current;
  }
}

Styling Reference

HeroUI follows the BEM methodology to ensure component variants and states are reusable and easy to customize.

CSS Classes

Switch Classes

The Switch component uses these CSS classes (View source styles):

  • .switch - Base switch container
  • .switch__content - Optional content container
  • .switch__control - Switch control track
  • .switch__thumb - Switch thumb that moves
  • .switch__icon - Optional icon inside the thumb
  • .switch--sm - Small size variant
  • .switch--md - Medium size variant (default)
  • .switch--lg - Large size variant

SwitchGroup Classes

The SwitchGroup component uses these CSS classes (View source styles):

  • .switch-group - Switch group container
  • .switch-group__items - Container for switch items
  • .switch-group--horizontal - Horizontal layout
  • .switch-group--vertical - Vertical layout (default)

Interactive States

The switch supports both CSS pseudo-classes and data attributes for flexibility:

  • Selected: [data-selected="true"] (thumb position and background color change)
  • Hover: :hover or [data-hovered="true"]
  • Focus: :focus-visible or [data-focus-visible="true"] (shows focus ring)
  • Disabled: :disabled or [aria-disabled="true"] (reduced opacity, no pointer events)
  • Pressed: :active or [data-pressed="true"]
