# Checkbox

An independent choice or part of a multiple selection.

## How to use it

Use checked and onCheckedChange to control it from React. The value can also be indeterminate for a partial selection.



## Import


```tsx
import { Checkbox } from "@kivora/nextjs";
```


Examples run in a Client Component. Also import the hooks, icons and dependencies used. This is the web API; consult the native guide for React Native.

## Example


```tsx
<div style={{ display: "flex", alignItems: "center", gap: 12, flexWrap: "wrap" }}>
  <Checkbox id="terms" defaultChecked /><Label htmlFor="terms">I accept the terms</Label>
</div>
```


## API: Checkbox


```typescript
Checkbox: React.ForwardRefExoticComponent<CheckboxProps & React.RefAttributes<HTMLButtonElement>>
```
