Checkbox The p-checkbox component wraps the native HTML input type checkbox form element. Checking one box doesn't uncheck other Checkboxes. By default, Checkboxes are not selected. Firefox has a known bug where it incorrectly restores form state for form-associated custom elements with shadow DOM on page reload. Checkbox values may appear inside unrelated input-text fields in the same form under certain conditions. To work around this, add the native HTML attribute autocomplete="off" to all checkbox form elements. See Firefox Bug for details. A label is a caption which informs the user what information a particular form field is asking for. The p-checkbox component can be used with or without a label, but it's recommended to keep the label visible for better accessibility whenever possible. When used without a label, it's best practice to provide a descriptive label text for screen readers.

Global settingsThemeChanges the theme of the application and any Porsche Design System component. It's possible to choose between forced theme light and dark. It's also possible to use auto, which applies light or dark theme depending on the operating system settings automatically.LightDarkAuto (sync with operating system)DirectionThe dir global attribute in HTML changes the direction of text and other content within an element. It's most often used on the <html> tag to set the entire page's direction, which is crucial for supporting languages that are written from right to left (RTL), such as Arabic and Hebrew. For example, using <html dir="rtl"> makes the entire page display from right to left, adjusting the layout and text flow accordingly.LTR (left-to-right)RTL (right-to-left)Text ZoomTo ensure accessibility and comply with WCAG 2.2 AA standards, it is mandatory for web content to support text resizing up to at least 200% without loss of content or functionality. Using relative units like rem is a best practice for achieving this, as they allow the text to scale uniformly based on the user's browser settings.100%130%150%200%
