`@react-native-community/checkbox`

React Native component for Checkbox

Android Example	IOS Example	Windows Example

Support

RN version	Checkbox version
> 0.60 & < 0.62	>= 0.3 (Support IOS from 0.4)
< 0.60	0.2 (only Android)
>= 0.62 to run on Windows	0.5

Getting started

yarn add @react-native-community/checkbox

npm install @react-native-community/checkbox --save

On iOS, install cocoapods:

npx pod-install

On Windows with RNW 62 or earlier, you need to manually link the module (on RNW 63 and later autolinking will work).

Mostly automatic installation

From react-native >= 0.60 autolinking will take care of the link (on iOS and Android)

for react-native =< 0.59.X

react-native link @react-native-community/checkbox

Manual installation

Manually link the library on Android

`android/settings.gradle`

include ':react-native-community-checkbox'
project(':react-native-community-checkbox').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/@react-native-community/checkbox/android')

`android/app/build.gradle`

dependencies {
   ...
   implementation project(':react-native-community-checkbox')
}

`android/app/src/main/.../MainApplication.java`

On top, where imports are:

import com.reactnativecommunity.checkbox.ReactCheckBoxPackage;

Add the checkbox class to your list of exported packages.

@Override
protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
    return Arrays.asList(
            new MainReactPackage(),
            new ReactCheckBoxPackage()
    );
}

Manually link the library on Windows

Add the CheckboxWindows project to your solution

Open the solution in Visual Studio 2019.
Right-click solution icon in Solution Explorer > Add > Existing Project. Select 'D:\pathToYourApp\node_modules@react-native-community\checkbox\windows\CheckboxWindows\CheckboxWindows.vcxproj'.

windows/myapp.sln

Add a reference to CheckboxWindows to your main application project. From Visual Studio 2019:

Right-click main application project > Add > Reference... Check 'CheckboxWindows' from the 'Project > Solution' tab on the left.

pch.h

Add #include "winrt/CheckboxWindows.h".

app.cpp

Add PackageProviders().Append(winrt::CheckboxWindows::ReactPackageProvider()); before InitializeComponent();.

Migrating from the core `react-native` module

This module was created when the CheckBox was split out from the core of React Native. To migrate to this module you need to follow the installation instructions above and then change your imports from:

import { CheckBox } from 'react-native';

to:

import CheckBox from '@react-native-community/checkbox';

Usage

Example

import CheckBox from '@react-native-community/checkbox';

  const [toggleCheckBox, setToggleCheckBox] = useState(false)

  <CheckBox
    disabled={false}
    value={toggleCheckBox}
    onValueChange={(newValue) => setToggleCheckBox(newValue)}
  />

Check out the example project for more examples.
