Bootstrap Toggle is a highly flexible Bootstrap plugin that converts checkboxes into toggles.

bootstrap-toggle-rails is an unofficial gem which integrates this Bootstrap plugin with the Rails asset pipeline.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'bootstrap-toggle-rails'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install bootstrap-toggle-rails

To load the required assets in your application add the appropriate line to your application.js/application.css (depending on whether you use Bootstrap in version 3 or 2):

app/assets/javascripts/application.js:

//= require bootstrap-toggle

or in case of Bootstrap 2:

//= require bootstrap2-toggle

app/assets/stylesheets/application.css:

*= require bootstrap-toggle

or in case of Bootstrap 2:

*= require bootstrap2-toggle

To replace a checkbox with toggles just add the data-toggle="toggle" attribute to the checkbox, e.g.:

<input type="checkbox" checked data-toggle="toggle">

Remember: this kind of initialization does not seem to be compatible to Turbolinks. If you use Turbolinks you should manually initialize with JavaScript and also attach the page:change event fired by Turbolinks, e.g.:

$(document).on('ready page:change', function() {
  $('input[type="checkbox"].toggle').bootstrapToggle(); // assumes the checkboxes have the class "toggle"
});

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
