Tailwind CSS Checkbox - React

Use our Tailwind CSS checkbox to allow the user to select one or more items from a set.

You can use a checkbox for:

• Selecting one or more options from a list • Presenting a list containing sub-selections • Turning an item on/off in a desktop environment (If you have a single option, avoid using a checkbox and use an on/off switch instead)

See below our simple checkbox example that you can use in your React and Tailwind CSS projects. The example also comes in different colors, so you can adapt it easily to your needs.

import { Checkbox } from "@material-tailwind/react";
 
export default function Example() {
  return <Checkbox defaultChecked />;
}
