Switchery is a simple component that helps you turn your default HTML checkbox inputs into beautiful iOS 7 style switches in just few simple steps. You can easily customize switches, so that they match your design perfectly.

You can install Switchery to your Meteor.js app via:

For thorough installation and usage instructions on how to use Switchery with Angular JS, check out this repo: servergrove/NgSwitchery

Or go to Switchery Rails gem page for more info, documentation and instructions.

To use Switchery in your rails app, add this to your Gemfile:

Use the above for the standalone version.

length of time that the transition will take, ex. '0.4s', '1s', '2.2s' (Note: transition speed of the handle is twice shorter)

opacity of the switch when disabled is true (0 to 1)

enable or disable click events and changing the state of the switch (boolean value)

class name for the switch element (by default styled in switchery.css)

secondary color for the background color and border, when the switch is off

Examples

Checked Only thing you need is to add a checked attribute to your checkbox input. Simple as that. < input type= "checkbox" class= "js-switch" checked /> Result:

Multiple switches You can add as many switches as you like, as long as their corresponding checkboxes have the same class. Select them and make new instance of the Switchery class for every of them. var elems = Array .prototype.slice. call ( document .querySelectorAll(' .js-switch '));

elems.forEach( function (html) { var switchery = new Switchery(html); } ); Result:

Multiple calls You can filter out existing elements that have already been called by looking for data-switchery="true". The following code will return if there's an element with this data attribute already. var init = new Switchery(' .js-switch '); if (init.markedAsSwitched()) { ... }

Disabled Use the disabled option to make your switch active or inactive. Native approaches like adding a readonly or disabled attributes to the checkbox are respected and will end in having a disabled switch by default. var switchery = new Switchery(elem, { disabled: true }); Result: Customize the default opacity of the disabled switch like so: var switchery = new Switchery(elem, { disabled: true , disabledOpacity: 0.75 }); Result: You can also dynamically change the active/inactive state of your switches. var elem = document .querySelector(' .js-dynamic-state '); var switchery = new Switchery(elem);

document .querySelector(' .js-dynamic-disable ').addEventListener(' click ', function () { switchery.disable(); } );

document .querySelector(' .js-dynamic-enable ').addEventListener(' click ', function () { switchery.enable(); } ); Result: Disable Enable

Colored You can change the primary(on) and secondary(off) color of the switch to fit your design perfectly. Accomplish this, changing the color and secondaryColor options. The jack colors are also customizable via the jackColor and the jackSecondaryColor options. Below is a good example of what you can accomplish using those. var switchery = new Switchery(elem, { color: ' #7c8bc7 ', jackColor: ' #9decff ' }); Result: or: var switchery = new Switchery(elem, { color: ' #faab43 ', secondaryColor: ' #fC73d0 ', jackColor: ' #fcf45e ', jackSecondaryColor: ' #c8ff77 ' }); Result:

Sizes Since version 0.7.0 you can change the sizes of the switch element via size. Giving it a value of small or large will result in adding switchery-small or switchery-large classes respectively, which will change the switch size. Not using this property will render the default sized switch element. var switchery = new Switchery(elem, { size: ' small ' }); Result: var switchery = new Switchery(elem, { size: ' large ' }); Result:

Checking state In many cases, you'll need to have the current state of the checkbox, checked or not. I'll demostrate how to do this in the two most common situations - getting the state on click and on change. On click: var clickCheckbox = document .querySelector(' .js-check-click ') , clickButton = document .querySelector(' .js-check-click-button ');

clickButton.addEventListener(' click ', function () { alert (clickCheckbox.checked); } ); Result: Check state On change: var changeCheckbox = document .querySelector(' .js-check-change ') , changeField = document .querySelector(' .js-check-change-field ');

changeCheckbox . onchange = function () { changeField.innerHTML = changeCheckbox.checked; } ; Result: « click
