Checkbox Card
- Stable
- WCAG 2.2 evidence
- RTL
A large checkbox option with an icon, a title and a description, for a few options that need
explanation (notification channels, benefits). The whole card is one <label> around a native checkbox, so a click
or tap anywhere toggles it (WCAG 2.5.8); Tab focuses it and Space toggles it (2.1.1); the title is the accessible name
and the description is linked with aria-describedby (1.3.1, 4.1.2). Checked shows a check mark in the box and a
thicker brand border, not only a colour change (1.4.1); keyboard focus draws the ring around the card (2.4.7). Consumer duties: title and description wording; for simple lists use CheckboxField. Put related cards in a
CheckboxGroup (which names them and shows one error).

Values and disabled
Figma Value=Checked and State=Disabled; hover, press and Tab to the cards for the other states.
import { CheckboxCard } from "@nexera-ui/react";
import { LuMail } from "react-icons/lu";
export function ValuesAndDisabled() {
return (
<div className="flex flex-col gap-3">
<CheckboxCard
icon={<LuMail />}
title="Email"
description="Approvals, payslips and reminders"
defaultSelected
/>
<CheckboxCard
icon={<LuMail />}
title="Email"
description="Approvals, payslips and reminders"
isDisabled
/>
<CheckboxCard
icon={<LuMail />}
title="Email"
description="Approvals, payslips and reminders"
isDisabled
defaultSelected
/>
</div>
);
}
In group
Cards in a CheckboxGroup: one named group, one value per card, one error for all.
import { CheckboxCard, CheckboxGroup } from "@nexera-ui/react";
import { LuBell, LuMail, LuMessageSquare } from "react-icons/lu";
export function InGroup() {
return (
<CheckboxGroup
label="Send reminders by"
description="Choose one or more channels."
defaultValue={["email"]}
name="channels"
>
<CheckboxCard
value="email"
icon={<LuMail />}
title="Email"
description="Approvals and payslips"
/>
<CheckboxCard
value="chat"
icon={<LuMessageSquare />}
title="Chat"
description="Direct messages"
/>
<CheckboxCard value="push" icon={<LuBell />} title="Push" description="On your phone" />
</CheckboxGroup>
);
}
Long text
Titles and descriptions wrap; the card grows from its 80 px minimum height.
import { CheckboxCard } from "@nexera-ui/react";
import { LuMail } from "react-icons/lu";
<CheckboxCard
icon={<LuMail />}
title="Email, including the weekly digest of every approval"
description="Approvals, payslips, reminders and public holiday changes in every office you manage"
/>;
Right to left
Right-to-left: icon tile at the start (right), box at the end (left).
import { CheckboxCard } from "@nexera-ui/react";
import { LuMail } from "react-icons/lu";
<CheckboxCard
icon={<LuMail />}
title="البريد الإلكتروني"
description="الموافقات وقسائم الرواتب والتذكيرات"
/>;
Props 28
Press "Try it" on a card to load that prop into the playground.
28 props shown
iconNexeraReactNodeIcon in the 40 px tile before the text. Decorative. The tile is shown when an icon is provided.
descriptionNexeraReactNodeSupporting text under the title. Linked with aria-describedby. Plain text:
it sits inside the clickable card, so it must not contain links or buttons.
classNameNexerastringExtra classes for the root, merged last so they win over the defaults.
styleNexeraCSSPropertiesInline style of the root.
titleNexeraVisibleContentVisible title. It is the accessible name; wraps and is never truncated. No visible title.
aria-labelNexerastringOverrides the name given by title. Avoid: the name must contain the visible text (WCAG 2.5.3).
Accessible name. Translate it.
Accessible name; aria-labelledby wins when both are set.
aria-labelledbyNexerastringId(s) of element(s) that name the card instead of title.
Id(s) of element(s) that name the card; wins over aria-label.
Id(s) of visible element(s) that name the card.

isReadOnlyReact AriabooleanWhether the input can be selected but not changed by the user.
isRequiredReact AriabooleanWhether user input is required on the input before form submission.
isInvalidReact AriabooleanWhether the input value is invalid.
validateReact Aria(value: boolean) => true | ValidationError | nullA function that returns an error message if a given value is invalid.

Styling hooks
Pass className to add Tailwind classes (merged last). State is exposed as data attributes, so you can style it with variants like data-pressed:.
