Styling

Passing Tailwind CSS classes

You can customize the CheckboxGroup component:

import { CheckboxGroup, Checkbox, Label } from '@heroui/react';

function CustomCheckboxGroup() {
  return (
    <CheckboxGroup className="gap-4" name="custom">
      <Checkbox value="option1">
        <Checkbox.Control className="border-2 border-purple-500 data-[selected=true]:bg-purple-500">
          <Checkbox.Indicator className="text-white" />
        </Checkbox.Control>
        <Checkbox.Content>
          <Label>Option 1</Label>
        </Checkbox.Content>
      </Checkbox>
    </CheckboxGroup>
  );
}

Customizing the component classes

To customize the CheckboxGroup component classes, you can use the @layer components directive.
Learn more.

@layer components {
  .checkbox-group {
    @apply flex flex-col gap-2;
  }
}

HeroUI follows the BEM methodology to ensure component variants and states are reusable and easy to customize.

CSS Classes

The CheckboxGroup component uses these CSS classes (View source styles):
