Oct 2018 - Jun 2021
CSS toggle switch for checkbox inputs. No JavaScript, no dependencies, one stylesheet under 8KB. Five sizes, seven colors, rounded or square, optional ON/OFF text, labels left or right. Keyboard accessible with visible focus styles, and every selector is scoped so it will not touch the rest of your CSS.
