Migrating from the core react-native module

This module was created when the CheckBox was split out from the core of React Native. To migrate to this module you need to follow the installation instructions above and then change you imports from:

import { CheckBox } from 'react-native';

to:

import CheckBox from '@react-native-community/checkbox';

Usage

Example

import CheckBox from '@react-native-community/checkbox';

  <CheckBox
    value={true}
    disabled={false}
  />

Check out the example project for more examples.
