See [Labeling a checkbox group](#labeling-a-checkbox-group) and the [forms guide](/handbook/forms). ## Anatomy Checkbox Group is composed together with [Checkbox](/components/checkbox). Import the components and place them together: ```svelte ``` ## Examples ### Labeling a checkbox group Label the group with `aria-labelledby` and a sibling label element: ```svelte

Allowed network protocols

... ``` An enclosing `` is the simplest labeling pattern for each checkbox: ```svelte HTTP ``` ### Rendering as a native button By default, `` renders a `` element to support enclosing labels. Prefer rendering each checkbox as a native button when using sibling labels (`for`/`id`). Set `nativeButton` and render a ` {/snippet} ``` Native buttons with wrapping labels are supported by using the `render` snippet to avoid invalid HTML, so the hidden input is placed outside the label: ```svelte

Allowed network protocols

{#snippet render(props, _state, children)} HTTP {/snippet} ``` ### Form integration Use [Field](/components/field) and [Fieldset](/components/fieldset) for group labeling and form integration: ```svelte ``` ### Parent checkbox A checkbox that controls other checkboxes within a `` can be created: 1. Bind the group's `value` with `bind:value` 2. Pass an array of all the child checkbox values to the `allValues` prop on the `` component 3. Add the `parent` boolean prop to the parent `` The group controls the parent checkbox's [indeterminate](/components/checkbox#root) state when some, but not all, child checkboxes are checked. ```svelte {#snippet render(props, state)} {#if state.indeterminate} {:else} {/if} {/snippet} Apples Fuji Gala Granny Smith ``` ### Nested parent checkbox ```svelte { if (value.includes('manage-users')) { managementValue = userManagementPermissions; } else if (managementValue.length === userManagementPermissions.length) { managementValue = []; } mainValue = value; }} allValues={mainPermissions} class="flex flex-col items-start gap-1 text-neutral-950 dark:text-white" style="margin-left: 1rem" > 0 && managementValue.length !== userManagementPermissions.length} > {#snippet render(props, state)} {#if state.indeterminate} {:else} {/if} {/snippet} User Permissions View Dashboard Access Reports { if (value.length === userManagementPermissions.length) { mainValue = Array.from(new Set([...mainValue, 'manage-users'])); } else { mainValue = mainValue.filter((v) => v !== 'manage-users'); } managementValue = value; }} allValues={userManagementPermissions} style="margin-left: 1rem" > {#snippet render(props, state)} {#if state.indeterminate} {:else} {/if} {/snippet} Manage Users Create User Edit User Delete User Assign Roles ``` ## API reference ### CheckboxGroup Provides a shared state to a series of checkboxes.
