What does the component do?
A toggle enables users to switch between two states, e.g. "Off" and "On".
When should the component be used?
- To provide a quick and easy way to activate or deactivate a function.
- When users need to change a setting that has an immediate effect.
- To present binary options clearly and intuitively.
Rules
- Avoid placing too many toggles on a page to ensure clarity and maintain usability.

Playground
The sbb-toggle component is a wrapper for a couple of sbb-toggle-options
that can be selected by the user; it is useful for switching between views within the content.
Their behavior is similar to sbb-tab-group
or sbb-radio-button-group,
where selecting an option deselects the previously selected one.
<sbb-toggle value="Value 1">
<sbb-toggle-option value="Value 1">Bern</sbb-toggle-option>
<sbb-toggle-option value="Value 2">Zürich</sbb-toggle-option>
</sbb-toggle>
States
The component can be displayed in disabled state using the self-named property.
<sbb-toggle disabled> ... </sbb-toggle>
Style
The even property can be used to let the component expand to the parent component or adapt to the label's width.
The component has two different sizes, s and m (default), which can be set using the size property.
<sbb-toggle size="s" even> ... </sbb-toggle>
Complex Values
This component supports any types of values, including complex objects.
The type can be specified using the generic type parameter T of SbbToggle<T>.
const values = [
{ value: 'value 1', name: 'Option 1' },
{ value: 'value 2', name: 'Option 2' },
];
<sbb-toggle .value="${values[0]}" name="name">
<sbb-toggle-option .value="${values[0]}">Option 1</sbb-toggle-option>
<sbb-toggle-option .value="${values[1]}">Option 2</sbb-toggle-option>
</sbb-toggle>
Properties
| Name | Attribute | Privacy | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
disabled | disabled | public | boolean | false | Whether the component is disabled. |
even | even | public | boolean | false | If true, set the width of the component fixed; if false, the width is dynamic based on the label of the sbb-toggle-option. |
form | - | public | HTMLFormElement | null | Returns the form owner of this element. | |
name | name | public | string | Name of the form element. Will be read from name attribute. | |
options | - | public | SbbToggleOptionElement<T>[] | The child instances of sbb-toggle-option as an array. | |
size | size | public | 's' | 'm' | 'm' / 's' (lean) | Size variant, either m or s. |
validationMessage | - | public | string | Returns the current error message, if available, which corresponds to the current validation state. Please note that only one message is returned at a time (e.g. if multiple validity states are invalid, only the chronologically first one is returned until it is fixed, at which point the next message might be returned, if it is still applicable). Also, a custom validity message (see below) has precedence over native validation messages. | |
validity | - | public | ValidityState | Returns the ValidityState object for this element. | |
value | value | public | (T = string) | null | The value of the toggle. It needs to be mutable since it is updated whenever a new option is selected (see the onToggleOptionSelect() method). | |
willValidate | - | public | boolean | Returns true if this element will be validated when the form is submitted; false otherwise. |
