Switches provide a visual toggle for binary states, offering an alternative to checkboxes.

​
Basic Usage

​
Checked State

​
Sizes

Switches come in two sizes:

​
With Actions

The on_change parameter runs actions when the switch is toggled. The $event variable is true when switched on, false when off. Here, toggling the switch updates a separate status message:

​
Disabled State

​
Reading the Value

Use .rx to get a reactive reference to the switch’s boolean state. The .then() pipe converts true/false into display-friendly strings: Toggle the switch and the input updates to reflect the current state.
