Custom Check Icon

By default, IconProps will be passed to your icon component. Please make sure that isSelected, isIndeterminate, and disableAnimation are not passed to a DOM element.

Controlled

Note: NextUI Checkbox also supports native events like onChange, useful for form libraries such as Formik and React Hook Form.

Slots

• base: Checkbox wrapper, it handles alignment, placement, and general appearance.
• wrapper: An inner container that includes styles for relative positioning, flex properties, overflow handling and managing hover and selected states.
• icon: Icon within the checkbox, controlling size, visibility, and changes when checked.
• label: The text associated with the checkbox.

Custom Styles

You can customize the Checkbox component by passing custom Tailwind CSS classes to the component slots.

Custom Implementation

In case you need to customize the checkbox even further, you can use the useCheckbox hook to create your own implementation.

Note: We used Tailwind Variants to implement the styles above, you can use any other library such as clsx to achieve the same result.
