Switch

Similar to Checkboxes, you can use Switches to indicate or control boolean values.

SDK version

To add the Switch component to your app:

import {Switch} from '@stripe/ui-extension-sdk/ui';

A common use of Switches is for settings that you save immediately—in other words, Switch is rarely part of a larger form that needs to be submitted separately.

Here’s a simple example of a Switch.

<Switch
  label="This is a Switch."
  onChange={(e) => {
    console.log(e.target.checked);
  }}
/>

Switch props

Property	Type
`autoFocus`	Optional `boolean \| undefined` If `true`, React will focus the element on mount.
`checked`	Optional `boolean \| undefined` Controls whether the input is selected. When you pass this prop, you must also pass an `onChange` handler that updates the passed value.
`defaultChecked`	Optional `boolean \| undefined` Specifies the initial value that a user can change.
`description`	Optional `string \| undefined` Descriptive text that will be rendered adjacent to the control’s label.
`disabled`	Optional `boolean \| undefined` Sets whether or not the element should be disabled. Prevents selection.
`error`	Optional `string \| undefined` Error text that will be rendered below the control.
`form`	Optional `string \| undefined` Specifies the `id` of the `<form>` this input belongs to. If omitted, it’s the closest parent form.
`hiddenElements`	Optional `("label" \| "description" \| "error")[] \| undefined` Visually hides the specified elements. The hidden elements will still be present and visible to screen readers.
`invalid`	Optional `boolean \| undefined` Sets whether or not the element is in an invalid state. This is a display-only prop, and will not prevent form submission.
`label`	Optional `React.ReactNode` Text that describes the control. Will be both visible and clickable.
`name`	Optional `string \| undefined` Specifies the name for this input that’s submitted with the form.
`onChange`	Optional `((event: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => void) \| undefined` Required for controlled inputs. Fires immediately when the input’s value is changed by the user (for example, it fires on every keystroke). Behaves like the browser input event.
`readOnly`	Optional `boolean \| undefined` If `true`, the input is not editable by the user.
`required`	Optional `boolean \| undefined` If `true`, the value must be provided for the form to submit.
`tabIndex`	Optional `number \| undefined` Overrides the default Tab button behavior. Avoid using values other than `-1` and `0`.
`value`	Optional `string \| undefined` Controls the input’s text. When you pass this prop, you must also pass an `onChange` handler that updates the passed value.

State management

Use the Switch component as an uncontrolled input:

<Switch
  onChange={(e) => {
    console.log(e.target.checked);
  }}
  defaultChecked
  label="This Switch is uncontrolled."
/>

Disabled

You can disable a Switch component, which prevents changes.

<Switch
  label="This Switch is disabled."
  defaultChecked
  disabled
/>
