Foundation - Switch Basics

Description

  • To create a switch, you need to add .switch class to an element.

  • Within the switch add <input type = "checkbox"> with .switch-input class.

  • Next, you need to create a <label> with .switch-paddle class.

  • Provide a unique ID for <input> and point the <label> to <input> with for attribute, which makes the switch clickable.

  • Within the switch label uses .show-for-sr class, which is screen reader-only text to mask the text visually.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to use switch in Foundation.
