How to use it

Use checked and onCheckedChange to control it from React. The value can also be indeterminate for a partial selection.

Import

React / Next.js
1import { Checkbox } from "@kivora/nextjs";

Interactive examples run inside a component with "use client". The playground's Copy button includes the imports needed for the current example.
