export default Switch; # Switch
Native switch styled to the DevSnips select/input visual language with controlled and uncontrolled modes.
## Usage
```tsx
<Switch label="Email notifications" defaultChecked />
```
## JavaScript
A `code.jsx` build is provided for projects that ship plain JSX. It exposes the same API and behavior as `code.tsx` — only the TypeScript types are removed.
```jsx
<Switch label="Email notifications" defaultChecked />
```
## Props
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---:|---|
| `label` | `ReactNode` | — | Visible label (omit for an icon-only / aria-label control). |
| `checked` / `defaultChecked` | `boolean` | `false` | Controlled / uncontrolled checked state. |
| `onChange` | `(checked, event) => void` | — | Change callback. |
| `disabled` | `boolean` | — | Disables the control. |
| `required` | `boolean` | — | Marks the field required (renders `*`). |
| `invalid` | `boolean` | — | Sets `aria-invalid` + destructive styling. |
| `name` / `value` | `string` | — | Native form name/value. |
| `id` | `string` | generated | Input id (also the label `htmlFor`). |
| `aria-label` / `aria-labelledby` / `aria-describedby` | `string` | — | Override association. |
## States
A native `<input type="checkbox" role="switch">` styled with Tailwind + the `--ds-*` semantic tokens. The thumb position tracks the tracked `isChecked` state; controlled (`checked`/`onChange`) and uncontrolled (`defaultChecked`) modes are both supported. A switch is an immediate binary setting — it takes effect the moment it toggles.
## Accessibility
Real `<input type="checkbox" role="switch">` element with an explicit `aria-checked` — full native keyboard (Space toggles), `aria-invalid` for errors, `aria-describedby` for associated text, visible `focus-visible` ring from `--ds-color-focus-ring`. When a label is provided it is wrapped in a `<label htmlFor>` so the text is a click target. When no label is rendered, pass `aria-label` or `aria-labelledby`.
## Styling
Built with React, Tailwind CSS, and DevSnips design tokens. The component consumes the `--ds-*` semantic tokens via arbitrary values (for example `bg-[var(--ds-color-primary)]`). Define the tokens once in your theme — no component-specific CSS file is required.
## Design Tokens
See [React/DESIGN_TOKENS.md](../../../DESIGN_TOKENS.md) for the authoritative token specification. This switch uses the semantic color, radius, spacing, and motion tokens.
## Notes
This is the reference implementation for the Switches family — it establishes the shared 24×14px track, 10px thumb, full radius, border, focus ring, on/off/disabled/error states, and dark-mode behavior that every other switch extends. 127 lines UTF-8 · LF · Spaces: 2
