Checkbox

Checkbox is an extension to a standard checkbox element with theming.

Usage

Include the vc-checkbox component in your Vue application, providing theming and enhanced functionality to your checkbox inputs.

vc-checkbox

Create a basic checkbox as follows:

<template>
    <vc-checkbox :modelValue="checkboxProperty" label="Checkbox label">{{ Checkbox text content }}</vc-checkbox>
</template>

To start using all the available checkbox properties, specify the vc-checkbox component when creating the schema. For example:

{
    id: "checkboxId",
    component: "vc-checkbox",
    label: "Checkbox label",
    property: "checkboxProperty",
    content: "Checkbox text content",
