Switch

Introduction

The Switch component is a toggle switch that allows users to choose between two mutually exclusive states (on/off, true/false, enabled/disabled). It provides a visual alternative to checkboxes for binary choices, often used for settings, preferences, or feature toggles. The component features Material Design styling with smooth animations and accessibility support.

The Switch component is based on Material UI Switch. It is included within the following NPM package: @react-form-builder/components-material-ui.

The Switch component can be styled and configured to fit specific design and functionality requirements by using various properties that are presented and described below.
