Bootstrap 5 Switch

What is the Bootstrap Switch?

A switch is a simple component used for activating one of two predefined options. Commonly used as an on/off button.

Installation

Manual installation (zip package)

To take advantage of our Bootstrap images component and use them in your project, you first need to install the MDB 5 Free package

MDB CLI

Watch our Quick Start Tutorial to discover and use the full potential of MDB 5 and MDB CLI

NPM

Prerequisites

Before starting the project make sure to install Node LTS (12.x.x recommended).

Installation

To install MDB UI KIT in your project easily type the following command in the terminal:

npm i mdb-ui-kit

Importing JS modules

You can import the entire library or just individual modules:

import * as mdb from 'mdb-ui-kit'; // lib
import { Input } from 'mdb-ui-kit'; // module

Importing CSS file

To import MDB stylesheet please use the following syntax:

@import '~mdb-ui-kit/css/mdb.min.css';

Importing SCSS modules

You can also import individual SCSS modules. To do it properly, we recommend to copy them from the node_modules/mdb-ui-kit/src/scss location directly to your project and import in the same way as CSS files.

Webpack integration

You can significantly speed up the process of creating a new project based on Webpack using our Starter.

CDN

Installation via CDN is one of the easiest methods of integrating MDB UI KIT with your project. Just copy the latest compiled JS script tag and CSS link tag from cdnjs to the application.

Don't forget to add also Font Awesome and Roboto font if you need it. Here's an example code:

CSS

<!-- Font Awesome -->
<link
  href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.15.1/css/all.min.css"
  rel="stylesheet"
/>
<!-- Google Fonts -->
<link
  href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500,700&display=swap"
  rel="stylesheet"
/>
<!-- MDB -->
<link
  href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mdb-ui-kit/3.3.0/mdb.min.css"
  rel="stylesheet"
/>

<!-- MDB -->
<script
  type="text/javascript"
  src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mdb-ui-kit/3.3.0/mdb.min.js"
></script>

Customization

Basic example

A switch has the markup of a custom checkbox but uses the .form-switch class to render a toggle switch. Switches also support the disabled attribute.

HTML

<!-- Default switch -->
<div class="form-check form-switch">
  <input class="form-check-input" type="checkbox" id="flexSwitchCheckDefault" />
  <label class="form-check-label" for="flexSwitchCheckDefault"
    >Default switch checkbox input</label
  >
</div>

<!-- Checked switch -->
<div class="form-check form-switch">
  <input class="form-check-input" type="checkbox" id="flexSwitchCheckChecked" checked />
  <label class="form-check-label" for="flexSwitchCheckChecked"
    >Checked switch checkbox input</label
  >
</div>

<!-- Default disabled switch -->
<div class="form-check form-switch">
  <input class="form-check-input" type="checkbox" id="flexSwitchCheckDisabled" disabled />
  <label class="form-check-label" for="flexSwitchCheckDisabled"
    >Disabled switch checkbox input</label
  >
</div>

<!-- Checked disabled switch -->
<div class="form-check form-switch">
  <input
    class="form-check-input"
    type="checkbox"
    id="flexSwitchCheckCheckedDisabled"
    checked
    disabled
  />
  <label class="form-check-label" for="flexSwitchCheckCheckedDisabled"
    >Disabled checked switch checkbox input</label
  >
</div>
