DXSwitch
A “filled box” toggle switch built on DFormCheckbox: a bordered box sized like
a form control, with the label on the left and the toggle on the right, that
colour-codes its state (a neutral box when off, a filled primary box when
on). Unlike a checkbox it can say what each state means via
textWhenTrue/textWhenFalse. It’s the same control DXForm / DXField render
for a type: 'switch' field — reach for DXSwitch directly when you want that
styled toggle outside a form.
Use a switch sparingly. A switch implies a distinct, meaningful on/off state (e.g. “Product is current” / “not current”), and reads best with
textWhenTrue/textWhenFalseso the label reflects that state. For selecting options, opting in, or a plain boolean you’re editing in a form that saves on submit, a checkbox (DFormCheckbox, or aDXFieldtype: 'checkbox') is usually the clearer choice.
Live Examples
Contextual text (changes with state)
current: true — toggle it to see the label change
Static label
Disabled
Custom label (default slot)
Props
| Name Click to sort ascending | Type | Required Click to sort ascending | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
modelValue | boolean | No | false | Whether the switch is on (v-model). Expects a real boolean; normalise a truthy non-boolean (e.g. a serialised 1) before binding. |
label | string | No | - | Static text beside the toggle; the fallback when no contextual text applies. |
textWhenTrue | string | No | - | Text shown when on — overrides label in the on state (e.g. "Product is current"). |
textWhenFalse | string | No | - | Text shown when off — overrides label in the off state (e.g. "Product is not current"). |
Any other attributes (disabled, id, name, aria-*, …) are forwarded to
the underlying DFormCheckbox.
Slots
| Name Click to sort ascending | Description | Scoped Props |
|---|---|---|
default | Label content beside the toggle; overrides the text props. Scoped with the current on-state so you can vary rich content by state. | - |
Notes
The on-state uses --bs-primary, matching the base DFormCheckbox switch,
checkboxes and radios; green stays reserved for success semantics. For a form
field with a label column, validation, hint and contextual on/off text, use a
DXForm / DXField type: 'switch' (which renders DXSwitch internally).
