reactjsHow do I use a checkbox in ReactJS?


Using a checkbox in ReactJS is relatively simple. To start, you will need to import the Checkbox component from the @material-ui/core package.

import Checkbox from '@material-ui/core/Checkbox';

Next, you will need to define the onChange function for the checkbox. This function will be called when the user clicks on the checkbox.

const handleChange = (event) => {
  setChecked(event.target.checked);
};

You will also need to define the checked state variable and the setChecked function. The checked state variable will store the current state of the checkbox (true or false). The setChecked function will be used to update the state.

const [checked, setChecked] = React.useState(false);

Finally, you can render the Checkbox component.

<Checkbox
  checked={checked}
  onChange={handleChange}
  inputProps={{ 'aria-label': 'primary checkbox' }}
/>

This will render a checkbox with the checked state set to the value of the checked state variable, and the onChange function set to the handleChange function.
