Want to create easy toggle buttons that you can click, drag, animate, use to toggle checkboxes and more? Yeah.
Examples can be seen here.
Include the CSS at the start:
<head>
<title>My cool page</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/toggles.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/toggles-modern.css">
<!-- ALL OF THE THEMES -->
<!-- <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/toggles-all.css"> -->
<!-- ALL OF THE CSS AND THEMES IN ONE FILE -->
<!-- <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/toggles-full.css"> -->And the JS at the end:
<script src="js/toggles.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</body>
</html>You need to specify the class for the specific theme you want to use. In this case we are using toggle-modern. The toggle class is simply what we will use as our selector to initialize it.
<div class="toggle toggle-modern">The other themes we could have used are:
- soft
- light
- dark
- iphone
Now we just need to initialize the element we made to make it toggleable!
// Simplest way:
$('.toggle').toggles();
// With options (defaults shown below)
$('.toggle').toggles({
drag: true, // allow dragging the toggle between positions
click: true, // allow clicking on the toggle
text: {
on: 'ON', // text for the ON position
off: 'OFF' // and off
},
on: true, // is the toggle ON on init
animate: 250, // animation time
transition: 'swing', // animation transition,
checkbox: null, // the checkbox to toggle (for use in forms)
clicker: null, // element that can be clicked on to toggle. removes binding from the toggle itself (use nesting)
width: 50, // width used if not set in css
height: 20, // height if not set in css
type: 'compact' // if this is set to 'select' then the select style toggle will be used
});
// Getting notified of changes, and the new state:
$('.toggle').on('toggle', function (e, active) {
if (active) {
foo();
} else {
bar();
}
});// initiate a new Toggles class
$('.toggles').toggles({
on: true
});
// the underlying Toggles class can be accessed
var myToggle = $('.toggles').data('toggles');
console.log(myToggle.active); // true
myToggle.toggle();
console.log(myToggle.active); // false
// set the state to 'false'
// will not do anything if the state is already false
myToggle.toggle(false);
console.log(myToggle.active); // false
// passing a boolean in place of options on an active toggle element
// will set the state
$('.toggles').toggles(true);
console.log(myToggle.active); // true
// the toggle-active data attribute stores the state too
console.log($('.toggles').data('toggle-active')); // trueAny of the following options can be set using data-toggle attributes: on, drag, click, width, height, animate, easing, type
<div class="toggles" data-toggle-on="true" data-toggle-height="20" data-toggle-width="60"></div>$('.toggles').toggles();
