ReactJS UI Ant Design Checkbox Component
Ant Design Library has this component pre-built, and it is very easy to integrate as well. The checkbox component allows the user to make a binary choice from the given options. We can use the following approach in ReactJS to use the Ant Design Checkbox Component.
Checkbox Methods:
- blur(): This method is used to remove the focus from the element.
- focus(): This method is used to get the focus on the element.
Checkbox Props:
- autoFocus: It is used to get focus when the component is mounted.
- checked: It indicates whether the checkbox is selected or not.
- defaultChecked: It is used to specify the initial state whether the checkbox is selected or not.
- disabled: It is used to disable the checkbox.
- indeterminate: It is used to denote the indeterminate checked state of the checkbox.
- onChange: It is the callback function which is triggered when state changes.
Checkbox Group Props:
- defaultValue: It is used to define the default selected value for the checkbox.
- disabled: It is used to disable all checkboxes.
- name: It is used to define the name property of all input children which are of type checkbox.
- options: It is used to specify options.
- value: It is used for setting the currently selected value.
- onChange: It is the callback function which is triggered when state changes.
Creating React Application And Installing Module:
-
Step 1: Create a React application using the following command:
npx create-react-app foldername
-
Step 2: After creating your project folder i.e. foldername, move to it using the following command:
cd foldername
-
Step 3: After creating the ReactJS application, Install the required module using the following command:
npm install antd
Project Structure: It will look like the following.

Project Structure
Example: Now write down the following code in the App.js file. Here, App is our default component where we have written our code.
App.js
import React from 'react' import "antd/dist/antd.css" ; import { Checkbox } from 'antd' ; export default function App() { return ( <div style={{ display: 'block' , width: 700, padding: 30 }}> <h4>ReactJS Ant-Design Checkbox Component</h4> <Checkbox onChange={()=> { alert( "You Checked the box!" ) }}>Agree to terms and Conditions</Checkbox> </div> ); } |
Step to Run Application: Run the application using the following command from the root directory of the project:
npm start
