Vue Toggles

A highly customizable and accessible toggle.

Introduction

Vue Toggles comes out of the box with accessibility support for:

• aria-checked depending on state
• aria-readonly if the toggle is disabled
• prefers-reduced-motion if the user has requested any type of motion reduction [prefers-reduced-motion]

Accessibility

What's left for you, when it comes to accessibility, is labeling the toggle correctly. This is either done by:

• A <label for="example-id">Toggle description</label> followed by the toggle component <VueToggles id="example-id" />
• An aria-label, for example <VueToggles aria-label="Toggle description" />. Remember, you still need a visual text description of what the toggle does

The focus-style is also left up to you — which is recommended you don't remove. If you think the default is ugly, style it yourself!

Installation

npm i vue-toggles

Import

Import plugin:

import Vue from 'vue';
import VueToggles from 'vue-toggles';

Vue.component('VueToggles', VueToggles);

Usage

The toggle is very easy to use out of the box. The bare minimum for it to work is a @click-function and a :value-prop.

<VueToggles @click="value = !value" :value="value" />

Options

You can also add more props to customize things like color and width/height.

<VueToggles
  @click="value = !value"
  :value="value"
  height="30"
  width="90"
  checkedText="On"
  uncheckedText="Off"
  checkedBg="#b4d455"
  uncheckedBg="lightgrey"
/>
