Description:

Just another JavaScript plugin for creating iOS- and Material Design-style on/off switches from regular checkbox elements.

How to use:

1. Place the following JavaScript and CSS files into the HTML file.

<link href="SimpleSwitch.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="SimpleSwitch.min.js"></script>

2. Add the data-type="simple-switch" attribute to the checkbox element wrapped in a label element as this:

<label>
  <input type="checkbox" data-type="simple-switch">
  JavaScript
</label>

3. To create a Material Design toggle switch, just add the data-material=”true” to the checkbox:

<label>
  <input type="checkbox" data-type="simple-switch" data-material="true">
  JavaScript
</label>

4. Initialize the SimpleSwitch.

SimpleSwitch.init();

5. Toggle the switch via JavaScript.

SimpleSwitch.toggle(checkboxElement);
SimpleSwitch.toggle(checkboxElement, true);
SimpleSwitch.toggle(checkboxElement, false);
