Checkbox

Use checkboxes when you need to switch between 2 mutually exclusive options.

The name attribute indicates how to reference this component in the query arguments: q.args.<name-attr>.

You can see the API for ui.checkbox or check the interactive example in Tour app.

Basic checkbox#

checkbox-0

q.page['example'] = ui.form_card(    box='1 1 2 2',    items=[ui.checkbox(name='checkbox', label='Standard')])

Setting initial values#

Use the value attribute when you want to prepopulate the checkbox content.

checkbox-1

q.page['example'] = ui.form_card(    box='1 1 2 2',    items=[ui.checkbox(name='checkbox_default', label='Default value', value=True)])

If the value is neither true nor false, you can set indeterminate attr.

checkbox-2

q.page['example'] = ui.form_card(    box='1 1 2 2',    items=[ui.checkbox(name='checkbox_default', label='Default value', indeterminate=True)])

Disabled checkbox#

Used for cases when the checkbox should not be changeable yet (e.g. waiting for filling some other form element first) or serves as read-only information.

checkbox-3

q.page['example'] = ui.form_card(    box='1 1 2 2',    items=[ui.checkbox(name='checkbox_disabled', label='Disabled', disabled=True)])
