Support for multiple lines in label?

[SeminAl]

I have spent several hours trying to make pretty checkbox with multiple lines of text in label, but no success... This was not planned from the beginning or am I wrong?

Hi @SeminAl ,

As you mentioned, the label text is expected to be in one line, and that's how it was built. Else the design will fail.

But I can imagine use cases of multi line label. May be in the next release I will come up with a solution for this.

Thanks!

Hi @SeminAl , I just made a fiddle for multi line label. Let me know if that helps. Thanks!

That's exactly what I was looking for :) Thank you!

@lokesh-coder Want to integrate your fiddle into the repo?

Great. I used top: calc(50% - ((1em + 2px)/2)) instead of top: 0, to center it horizontally.

why this multi line label hasn't integrated into repo yet?

If you're using icons you'll need to do:

  .pretty .state label:after, 
  .pretty .state label:before,
  .pretty.p-icon .state .icon {
    top: 0;
  }

To size the labels relative to the parent div, change the width in .pretty to 100%. Allows the labels to be =pretty= responsive.
Full CSS including the line that makes icons work. I import it as pretty-multiline.css after the pretty-checkboxes package.

/* Overwriting some Pretty-Checkbox styles to allow for word wrapping */
.pretty {
    white-space: normal;
    width: 100%;
}

.pretty .state label 
{
    text-indent: 0;
    padding-left: 2rem;
}

.pretty .state label:after,
.pretty .state label:before,
.pretty.p-icon .state .icon 
{
    top: 0;
}

This is really a big issue and should be fixed as soon as possible.

Great fix, I made a little change:

.pretty .state label:after, .pretty .state label:before, .pretty.p-icon .state .icon, .pretty.p-svg .state .svg { top: 0; }

Then the svg image is also in the right place!

I was able to make pretty check box handle wrapping of long text for labels and allow for click-able links within them with the following:

.pretty .state label {
white-space: normal;
text-indent: unset;
padding-left: 5vw; /* Change to your preferred dimensions */
}

/* This will make the use of an svg align correctly, you may need to add other formats if you use them. */
.pretty.p-svg .state .svg,
.pretty .state label:after,
.pretty .state label:before {
top: 0;
}

/* Make pretty checkbox handle links in labels, thanks goes to pmonte, for a pointer in the right direction */
.pretty a {
z-index: 3;
position: relative;
}
