jQuery - issue with toggling class on label/input when clicking rapidly

I've encountered an unusual issue with my checkboxes.

HTML:

<div class="f-checkbox">
    <label class="f-label" for="f-field">
    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Iure cumque 
    voluptatem nisi incidunt praesentium quibusdam sit in alias velit 
    consectetur facere amet voluptates possimus, aliquid nam omnis fugit eum 
    molestias ucimus, saepe laboriosam, enim nobis. Omnis eveniet rem 
    impedit,commodi mollitia assumenda beatae nulla consequuntur autem debitis 
    fugiat voluptatem laudantium!
</label>

<input type="checkbox" id="f-field" name="f-field" value="1" aria-invalid="false">

</div>

JS:

jQuery('.f-checkbox label').on('click', function(e){
    jQuery(this).parent('.f-checkbox').toggleClass('active');
    console.log('Test');
})

Fiddle link: https://jsfiddle.net/orddstgo/2/

These are custom checkboxes where the normal checkbox is hidden as part of a debugging process. When I click on the label or box, it functions correctly with green indicating checked and red indicating unchecked. However, there is an issue when I quickly click on the label (text) and then space to the left sometimes results in the "active" class not being assigned correctly.

An animation demonstrating the problem can be viewed here:

I have attempted to log every click event to verify if double clicks are being registered, but this does not seem to be the cause.

Thank you in advance.

Answer №1

One way to handle this is by monitoring the change event of the input field and then checking whether it is selected or not. Depending on the result, you can dynamically add or remove an 'active' class.

jQuery('.f-checkbox label').on('click', function(e){
  if (jQuery(this).sibling('input').prop('checked')) {
    jQuery(this).parent('.f-checkbox').addClass('active');
  } else {
    jQuery(this).parent('.f-checkbox').removeClass('active');
  }
  console.log('Test');
})

Answer №2

There seems to be an issue with the checked state when you click

jQuery('.f-label').on('click', function(e){
  jQuery(this).parent(".f-checkbox").toggleClass('active');
  jQuery(".f-field").click();
  console.log('Testing...');
})

You might want to give this a try.
