Switch
Toggle switch with RTL-aware thumb movement — sm/md/lg sizes, pill or rounded radius and an optional inline label.
Preview
Controls
Device view renders in an isolated frame so real responsive breakpoints apply. Switch to Full for overflowing popovers.

Guidance
Immediate reversible stateChange an immediate reversible system state.
Use when
- Use for immediate state changes that are obvious and reversible. Do not use for choices that need explanation, confirmation, or a later Save step.
Avoid when
- Only use when the user expects an immediate, obvious, and reversible state change.
- Task length

Preferred alternatives
- Checkbox for a value saved later
- Button plus confirmation for consequential actions
Anti-patterns
- Using a switch when Save is required
- Using a switch for irreversible actions

Capabilities
Behavior
- Uses server-rendered Blade and semantic HTML.
- Mirrors state into an accessible switch-style control and forwards name/value attributes for forms.
- Declares registry capability flags: a11y, responsive, rtl, darkMode, localized.
Usage
<div class="flex flex-col gap-5">
<x-ui.switch checked>{{ __('Enable notifications') }}</x-ui.switch>
<div class="flex items-center gap-5">
<x-ui.switch size="sm" checked aria-label="{{ __('Small') }}" />
<x-ui.switch size="md" checked aria-label="{{ __('Medium') }}" />
<x-ui.switch size="lg" checked aria-label="{{ __('Large') }}" />
<x-ui.switch radius="rounded" checked aria-label="{{ __('Rounded') }}" />
</div>
</div>
Accessibility & localization
data-slot
Keyboard focus-visible
Localized labels
- Accessibility target: wcag-2.2-aa-target.
- Uses semantic HTML and a stable
data-slotattribute for styling/scripting hooks. - Focus-visible rings use the
ringtoken so keyboard focus is always visible. - Disabled and invalid states are conveyed to assistive tech, not by color alone.
- Targets WCAG 2.2 AA; verify contrast in light, dark, admin and customer surfaces above.
- Labels go through
__()and the component uses logical properties (ms-*,text-start,start-*) so it mirrors correctly — flip the preview to RTL to confirm.
