ReactJS UI Ant Design Checkbox Component

Ant Design Library has this component pre-built, and it is very easy to integrate as well. The checkbox component allows the user to make a binary choice from the given options. We can use the following approach in ReactJS to use the Ant Design Checkbox Component.

Checkbox Methods:

• blur(): This method is used to remove the focus from the element.
• focus(): This method is used to get the focus on the element.

Checkbox Props:

• autoFocus: It is used to get focus when the component is mounted.
• checked: It indicates whether the checkbox is selected or not.
• defaultChecked: It is used to specify the initial state whether the checkbox is selected or not.
• disabled: It is used to disable the checkbox.
• indeterminate: It is used to denote the indeterminate checked state of the checkbox.
• onChange: It is the callback function which is triggered when state changes.

Checkbox Group Props:

• defaultValue: It is used to define the default selected value for the checkbox.
• disabled: It is used to disable all checkboxes.
• name: It is used to define the name property of all input children which are of type checkbox.
• options: It is used to specify options.
• value: It is used for setting the currently selected value.
• onChange: It is the callback function which is triggered when state changes.

Creating React Application And Installing Module:

• Step 1: Create a React application using the following command:

  npx create-react-app foldername

• Step 2: After creating your project folder i.e. foldername, move to it using the following command:

  cd foldername

• Step 3: After creating the ReactJS application, Install the required module using the following command:

  npm install antd

Project Structure: It will look like the following.

Project Structure

Example: Now write down the following code in the App.js file. Here, App is our default component where we have written our code.

App.js

import React from 'react'
import "antd/dist/antd.css";
import { Checkbox } from 'antd';

export default function App() {

  return (
    <div style={{ display: 'block',
                  width: 700, padding: 30 }}>
      <h4>ReactJS Ant-Design Checkbox Component</h4>
      <Checkbox onChange={()=> {
         alert("You Checked the box!")
      }}>Agree to terms and Conditions</Checkbox>
    </div>
  );
}

Step to Run Application: Run the application using the following command from the root directory of the project:

npm start

Output: Now open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000/, you will see the following output:
