I am working on creating a versatile React component for checkboxes.
After familiarizing myself with the traditional image-replacement technique for checkboxes, I have implemented it in my React code:
import React, { Component } from 'react';
class Checkbox extends Component {
render() {
return (
<div className="checkbox">
<input type="checkbox" name="option" value="choice" id="option"/><label for="option"></label> {this.props.text}
</div>
);
}
}
export default Checkbox;
Additionally, here is the basic CSS styling for this checkbox replacement:
input[type=checkbox] {
display:none;
}
input[type=checkbox] + label {
background: url("checked.png") no-repeat;
background-size: 100%;
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
display: inline-block;
padding: 0;
}
input[type=checkbox]:checked + label {
background: url("unchecked.png") no-repeat;
background-size: 100%;
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
display: inline-block;
padding: 0;
}
Since this component is intended to be reusable in React, I encounter an issue with reusing IDs. What alternatives can I explore to create an image-based checkbox without relying solely on the "label" method? I aim to avoid using arbitrary IDs or similar workarounds.
