What is rc-switch?
The rc-switch npm package is a React component library for creating switch (toggle) inputs. It allows developers to easily implement switch components in their React applications, providing both visual and functional customization options.
What are rc-switch's main functionalities?
Basic switch
This code sample demonstrates how to render a basic switch component using the rc-switch package. It imports the Switch component from the package and includes it in a React component to be displayed.
import React from 'react';
import Switch from 'rc-switch';
function App() {
return (
<Switch />
);
}
export default App;
Customized switch
This example shows how to customize a switch by adding labels for the checked and unchecked states, and setting the default state to checked. The 'checkedChildren' and 'unCheckedChildren' props allow for custom labels, while 'defaultChecked' initializes the switch in the on position.
import React from 'react';
import Switch from 'rc-switch';
function App() {
return (
<Switch
checkedChildren="on"
unCheckedChildren="off"
defaultChecked
/>
);
}
export default App;
