We added the spacing prop to customize the spacing between the Checkbox and label text.

You can customize the color and size of the check icon by passing the iconColor and iconSize prop.

<Checkbox iconColor='blue.400' iconSize='1rem'>

Indeterminate#

function IndeterminateExample() {
const [checkedItems, setCheckedItems] = React.useState([false, false])
const allChecked = checkedItems.every(Boolean)
const isIndeterminate = checkedItems.some(Boolean) && !allChecked
return (
<>
<Checkbox
isChecked={allChecked}
isIndeterminate={isIndeterminate}
onChange={(e) => setCheckedItems([e.target.checked, e.target.checked])}
>

)
}

Icon#

/**
* 1. Create a custom icon that accepts 2 props: `isIndeterminate` and `isChecked`
*/
function CustomIcon(props) {
const { isIndeterminate, isChecked, ...rest } = props
const d = isIndeterminate
? 'M12,0A12,12,0,1,0,24,12,12.013,12.013,0,0,0,12,0Zm0,19a1.5,1.5,0,1,1,1.5-1.5A1.5,1.5,0,0,1,12,19Zm1.6-6.08a1,1,0,0,0-.6.917,1,1,0,1,1-2,0,3,3,0,0,1,1.8-2.75A2,2,0,1,0,10,9.255a1,1,0,1,1-2,0,4,4,0,1,1,5.6,3.666Z'

) : null}
</>
)
}
function CustomCheckbox() {
return (
<Checkbox icon={<CustomIcon />} colorScheme='cyan'>
Hello world
</Checkbox>
)
}
render(<CustomCheckbox />)

CheckboxGroup#

Chakra exports a CheckboxGroup component to help manage the checked state of its children Checkbox components and conveniently pass a few shared style props to each. See the props table at the bottom of this page for a list of the shared styling props.

<CheckboxGroup colorScheme='green' defaultValue={['naruto', 'kakashi']}>
<Stack spacing={[1, 5]} direction={['column', 'row']}>
<Checkbox value='naruto'>Naruto</Checkbox>
<Checkbox value='sasuke'>Sasuke</Checkbox>
<Checkbox value='kakashi'>Kakashi</Checkbox>
</Stack>
</CheckboxGroup>
