Toggles are switches that change the state of a single option. They can be switched on or off by pressing or swiping them. Toggles can also be checked programmatically by setting the checked
property.
Toggles can enable on/off labels by setting the enableOnOffLabels
property. This is important for accessibility as it makes it easier to differentiate between a checked and unchecked toggle.
Toggles can also be used in a list view by using the Item and List components.
Developers can use the labelPlacement
property to control how the label is placed relative to the control.
Developers can use the alignment
property to control how the label and control are aligned on the cross axis. This property mirrors the flexbox align-items
property.
note
Stacked toggles can be aligned using the alignment
property. This can be useful when the label and control need to be centered horizontally.
Developers can use the justify
property to control how the label and control are packed on a line.
Helper and error text can be used inside of a toggle with the helperText
and errorText
property. The error text will not be displayed unless the ion-invalid
and ion-touched
classes are added to the ion-toggle
. This ensures errors are not shown before the user has a chance to enter data.
In Angular, this is done automatically through form validation. In JavaScript, React and Vue, the class needs to be manually added based on your own validation.
Colors CSS Custom PropertiesCSS custom properties can be combined with standard CSS to target different parts of a toggle. We can modify the width
and height
of the toggle directly to change the size of the track, while using the --handle-width
and --handle-height
custom properties to customize the handle size.
We can further customize toggle by targeting specific shadow parts that are exposed. Any CSS property on these parts can be styled and they can also be combined with CSS custom properties.
ToggleChangeEventDetailinterface ToggleChangeEventDetail<T = any> {
value: T;
checked: boolean;
}
ToggleCustomEvent
While not required, this interface can be used in place of the CustomEvent
interface for stronger typing with Ionic events emitted from this component.
interface ToggleCustomEvent<T = any> extends CustomEvent {
detail: ToggleChangeEventDetail<T>;
target: HTMLIonToggleElement;
