A pure CSS approach to iOS inspired toggle switch with a gooey sliding effect.
How to use it:
Create a checkbox for the iOS toggle switch.
<label class="form-switch"> <input type="checkbox"> <i></i> Select Me </label>
The CSS/CSS3 styles for the switch.
.form-switch {
display: inline-block;
cursor: pointer;
-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent;
}
.form-switch i {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
margin-right: .5rem;
width: 46px;
height: 26px;
background-color: #e6e6e6;
border-radius: 23px;
vertical-align: text-bottom;
transition: all 0.3s linear;
}
.form-switch i::before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
left: 0;
width: 42px;
height: 22px;
background-color: #fff;
border-radius: 11px;
transform: translate3d(2px, 2px, 0) scale3d(1, 1, 1);
transition: all 0.25s linear;
}
.form-switch i::after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
left: 0;
width: 22px;
height: 22px;
background-color: #fff;
border-radius: 11px;
box-shadow: 0 2px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.24);
transform: translate3d(2px, 2px, 0);
transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;
}
.form-switch:active i::after {
width: 28px;
transform: translate3d(2px, 2px, 0);
}
.form-switch:active input:checked + i::after { transform: translate3d(16px, 2px, 0); }
.form-switch input { display: none; }
.form-switch input:checked + i { background-color: #4BD763; }
.form-switch input:checked + i::before { transform: translate3d(18px, 2px, 0) scale3d(0, 0, 0); }
.form-switch input:checked + i::after { transform: translate3d(22px, 2px, 0); }







This is not accessible. It can be fixed by changing .form-switch input css style from display:none; to opacity: 0; will allow tabbing. There’s still more to do than that (check screenreaders etc), but we can’t get away with ignoring accessibility anymore.
Not like
Changed “input” to input[type=checkbox] because I have a hidden field added dynamically and replaced the “+” with a tilde “~” to correctly target the checkbox element.
