Toggle     

The Quasar Toggle component is another basic element for user input. You can use this for turning settings, features or true/ false inputs on and off.

Please also refer to the Option Group documentation on other possibilities for creating groups of Toggles.

Works well with QField for additional functionality such as a helper, error message placeholder and many others.

Installation

Edit /quasar.conf.js:

framework: {
  components: ['QToggle']
}

Basic Usage

<q-toggle v-model="checked" label="Toggle Label" />

<!-- With no label -->
<q-toggle v-model="checked" />

<!-- With a specific color -->
<q-toggle v-model="checked" color="teal-8" />

<!-- With icon -->
<q-toggle v-model="checked" icon="alarm" label="Toggle Label" />

<!-- Disabled state -->
<q-toggle v-model="checked" disable label="Toggle Label" />

Check “Vue Properties” for even more options.

Vue Properties

Supports v-model which should be binded to a Boolean or Array in your scope.

Vue Property Type Description
val Object Used to modify the v-model of the Toggle when using an Array as v-model.
true-value Any Gets into “true” state when model has this value.
false-value Any Gets into “false” state when model has this value.
label String The text label for the Toggle.
left-label Boolean Set to true, if the label should be placed to the left of the Toggle.
icon String Optional icon to use. Overriden by checked-icon and unchecked-icon if the latter are used.
checked-icon String The icon to use, when the Toggle is checked.
unchecked-icon String The icon to use, when the Toggle is not checked.
color String Color from Quasar Color Palette.
keep-color Boolean Keep color when not truthy too.
readonly Boolean Set to true, to make the toggle read-only.
disable Boolean Set to true, to disable the toggle.
dark Boolean Set to true when background is dark.

Vue Events

Vue Event Description
@input(newVal) Triggered immediately on model value change.
@change(newVal) Triggered on lazy model value change.
@blur Triggered, when Toggle loses focus.
@focus Triggered, when Toggle gains focus.

Array as Model

If you have a number of toggles for a selection, use can also use an Array as the model object and the val prop for the inserted value into the Array.

<template>
  <div>
    <q-toggle v-model="selection" val="one" label="One" />
    <q-toggle v-model="selection" val="two" label="Two" />
    <q-toggle v-model="selection" val="three" label="Three" />
  </div>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  data () {
    return {
      selection: ['two']
    }
  }
}
</script>

Ticking all toggles will make selection scope variable to be ['one', 'two', 'three']. Unticking all toggles will result in selection being an empty array [].

More Examples

There are a number of props, which are available to help quickly format a Toggle. An interesting feature of Toggle is the ripple effect that user gets when clicking/tapping on it to change its state.

Custom Model Values

Instead of the default true/false values, you can use custom ones:

<q-toggle
  v-model="customModel"
  color="secondary"
  label="Do you agree with the terms & conditions?"
  true-value="yes"
  false-value="no"
/>

Specific State Icons

For a more informational Toggle, you can also use the checked-icon and unchecked-icon props to display an inset icon in the toggle.

<q-toggle
  v-model="checked"
  unchecked-icon="visibility_off"
  checked-icon="visibility"
  label="Toggle Label"
/>

Specifying checked-icon and unchecked-icon overrides icon property if you’ve also used it.

Coloring

Use the color prop to control the toggle’s color.

<q-toggle v-model="checked" color="orange" />

<q-toggle v-model="checked" color="teal" />

<q-toggle v-model="checked" color="dark" />

Label Position

Use the left-label prop, to move the label to the left of Toggle.

<q-toggle
  v-model="checked"
  left-label
  label="Checkbox Label"
/>

Usage Inside of a List

In the following example we use the right side of QItems to insert Toggle, but it works anywhere.

<q-list link>
  <!--
    Rendering a <label> tag (notice tag="label")
    so the whole QItem will respond to clicks to
    change Toggle state.
  -->
  <q-item tag="label">
    <q-item-main>
      <q-item-tile label>Events and reminders</q-item-tile>
    </q-item-main>
    <q-item-side right>
      <q-toggle v-model="checked" />
    </q-item-side>
  </q-item>
  <q-item tag="label" multiline>
    <q-item-main>
      <q-item-tile label>Events and reminders</q-item-tile>
      <q-item-tile sublabel>Lorem ipsum</q-item-tile>
    </q-item-main>
    <q-item-side right>
      <q-toggle v-model="checked" class="purple" />
    </q-item-side>
  </q-item>
  <q-item tag="label" multiline>
    <q-item-main>
      <q-item-tile label>Events and reminders</q-item-tile>
      <q-item-tile sublabel>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

    </q-item-main>
    <q-item-side right>
      <q-toggle v-model="checked" class="red" />
    </q-item-side>
  </q-item>
</q-list>
