Switch

An on/off toggle built on a real <input type="checkbox" role="switch"> — kept in the DOM (visually hidden over a track + thumb) so keyboard, focus, and form submission work for free, and assistive technology announces it as a switch. v-model is a boolean. The "on" track color and the :focus-visible ring both come from the ori-color token; the track and thumb scale with ori-font-size so size is a single prop.

The examples are organised by layer: the class reference is the standalone @oriui/css layer, and the Framework API is the @oriui/vue component. Every example is live — flip its code between HTML (the standalone classes, also your htmx / Astro / Svelte / plain-HTML usage), Vue; HTML is the default.

Classes

A switch is a block class on the <label> wrapper plus two single-class token utilities — one class per axis, no base class needed. The Vue props in Framework API map 1:1 to these.

Class	Type	Description
`ori-switch`	Block	Required base class — placed on the wrapping .
`ori-color_*`	Color	primary · secondary · success · warn · danger · info · surface
`ori-font-size_*`	Size	xs · sm · md · lg · xl · xxl — the track and thumb scale with this.
`ori-switch__input`	Part	The visually-hidden native .
`ori-switch__track`	Part	The visible pill track; `aria-hidden`.
`ori-switch__thumb`	Part	The sliding circle inside the track; `aria-hidden`.
`ori-switch__label`	Part	Optional visible text label beside the track.
`ori-switch_disabled`	State	Added by the component when `disabled` is true; also sets the native `disabled` attribute on the input.

Colors

Every semantic color role. The track fill and the focus ring both use --ori-color.

html

<label class="ori-switch ori-color_primary ori-font-size_md" for="s1">
    <input id="s1" type="checkbox" role="switch" class="ori-switch__input" />
    <span class="ori-switch__track" aria-hidden="true"><span class="ori-switch__thumb"></span></span>
    <span class="ori-switch__label">Primary</span>
</label>
<!-- swap the color class: ori-color_primary → ori-color_danger / ori-color_success / ori-color_warn / ori-color_info -->

Sizes

xs → xxl. A single ori-font-size_* class scales both the label text and the track/thumb geometry.

html

<!-- track and thumb scale off ori-font-size_* -->
<label class="ori-switch ori-color_primary ori-font-size_sm" for="sm">
    <input id="sm" type="checkbox" role="switch" class="ori-switch__input" />
    <span class="ori-switch__track" aria-hidden="true"><span class="ori-switch__thumb"></span></span>
    <span class="ori-switch__label">sm</span>
</label>
<label class="ori-switch ori-color_primary ori-font-size_xl" for="xl">
    <input id="xl" type="checkbox" role="switch" class="ori-switch__input" />
    <span class="ori-switch__track" aria-hidden="true"><span class="ori-switch__thumb"></span></span>
    <span class="ori-switch__label">xl</span>
</label>

States

disabled sets the native disabled on the <input> and adds ori-switch_disabled (reduced opacity + not-allowed cursor) on the wrapper. invalid sets aria-invalid="true" on the input. required sets the native required.

html

<label class="ori-switch ori-switch_disabled ori-color_primary ori-font-size_md" for="d1">
    <input id="d1" type="checkbox" role="switch" class="ori-switch__input" disabled />
    <span class="ori-switch__track" aria-hidden="true"><span class="ori-switch__thumb"></span></span>
    <span class="ori-switch__label">Disabled off</span>

<label class="ori-switch ori-switch_disabled ori-color_primary ori-font-size_md" for="d2">
    <input id="d2" type="checkbox" role="switch" class="ori-switch__input" disabled checked />
    <span class="ori-switch__track" aria-hidden="true"><span class="ori-switch__thumb"></span></span>
    <span class="ori-switch__label">Disabled on</span>
</label>

Invalid

invalid wires aria-invalid="true" so screen readers announce the error state.

Required field

html

<label class="ori-switch ori-color_danger ori-font-size_md" for="inv">
    <input id="inv" type="checkbox" role="switch" class="ori-switch__input" aria-invalid="true" required />
    <span class="ori-switch__track" aria-hidden="true"><span class="ori-switch__thumb"></span></span>
    <span class="ori-switch__label">Required field</span>
</label>

Without a label

Pass no label prop to render the track alone. Always pair a label-less switch with an external aria-label or a visible text element connected via aria-labelledby.

html

<label class="ori-switch ori-color_primary ori-font-size_md" for="dm">
    <input id="dm" type="checkbox" role="switch" class="ori-switch__input" aria-label="Dark mode" />
    <span class="ori-switch__track" aria-hidden="true"><span class="ori-switch__thumb"></span></span>
</label>

Common patterns

A settings row — switch on the right aligned to a description — is the most common real-world use.

Accessibility

The accessibility contract holds across every layer — the standalone classes and the Vue component render the same attributes and keyboard behaviour.

Renders a real <input type="checkbox" role="switch"> so keyboard interaction, form submission, and screen-reader announcements work without any JavaScript bridges.
The wrapping <label> is linked to the input by for/id (auto-generated via useId() unless id is supplied) — clicking the label text or the track both toggle the switch.
The visual track and thumb are aria-hidden="true"; the input is the only element in the accessibility tree.
disabled is the real native attribute (not a class); invalid sets aria-invalid="true".
A label-less switch must receive an accessible name via aria-label or aria-labelledby passed as an attribute (it falls through to the <input>).
:focus-visible outline appears on the track (using --ori-color) so the focus indicator is always visible without disrupting the unfocused appearance.

Key	Action
`Space`	Toggles the switch on/off.
`Tab`	Moves focus to the switch.

Framework API

The props, events, and slots of the Vue component. The standalone CSS layer has no component API — its surface is the classes above. (Svelte bindings are planned.)

Props

Prop	Type	Default	Description
`color`	`ThemeColor`	`'primary'`	Semantic color for the "on" track fill and the focus ring.
`disabled`	`boolean`	`false`	Disables the control — sets native `disabled` and adds `ori-switch_disabled` on the wrapper.
`id`	`string`	—	Overrides the auto-generated `useId()` id that links the `<label>` to the `<input>`.
`invalid`	`boolean`	—	Sets `aria-invalid="true"` on the input; pair with a visible error message.
`label`	`string`	—	Visible text label rendered beside the track. Omit to render the track alone.
`required`	`boolean`	—	Sets the native `required` attribute on the input.
`size`	`ActionSize`	`'md'`	Controls both label text size and track/thumb geometry (`xs` · `sm` · `md` · `lg` · `xl` · `xxl`).

Events & attributes

OriSwitch uses defineModel<boolean>() for two-way binding — bind with v-model to read the checked state and emit update:modelValue when it toggles.

vue

<OriSwitch v-model="enabled" label="Notifications" />

Because inheritAttrs: false is set and v-bind="$attrs" is forwarded to the <input>, all native input attributes and listeners fall through to the real control:

@change, @focus, @blur land on the <input>.
name, form, aria-describedby, aria-label, data-* pass through transparently.

Slots

Slot	Falls back to	Description
`default`	`label` prop	Visible text label rendered inside the native `<label>`, beside the track. Omit both to render the track alone.
