Switch Table of Contents Usage The following section provides guidance for designers and developers on how to use this component in different situations. Do: Use it when an instant response to applied settings is required without explicit action. Use to enable or disable a mode, feature, or function. Use when the user is toggling independent features or behaviors. Use the label to describe the affected property. Use the right-aligned version for lists (especially for handling on mobile devices). Use the stretched version for lists on mobile or smaller containers. Don't: Don't use it if a setting requires a button press before it can take effect (use a Checkbox instead). Don't use anything longer than two words in the label whenever possible. Don't use the switch for multiple-choice questions. Don't use slide Switch when an intermediate state is required (Use Checkbox instead). Don't use the label to describe the state of the component. Related Components Checkbox Button

Set the theme via the CSS color-scheme property: light for light mode, dark for dark mode, or light dark to follow the user's system preference.LightDarkLight DarkDirectionThe 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%
