Awesome Bootstrap Checkbox

Font Awesome Bootstrap Checkboxes & Radios plugin. Pure css way to make inputs look prettier. No javascript!

Demo

Repository moved. Update your urls!

We have transferred Awesome Bootstrap Checkbox to a new location under our organization account - https://github.com/flatlogic/awesome-bootstrap-checkbox. Though Gihub provides redirects from old urls, we strongly recommend updating any existing local clones to point to the new repository URL. You can do this by using git remote on the command line:

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/flatlogic/awesome-bootstrap-checkbox.git

Use

First just include awesome-bootstrap-checkbox.css somewhere in your html. Or awesome-bootstrap-checkbox.scss if you use sass. Next everything is based on code convention. Here is checkbox markup from Bootstrap site:

<form role="form">
  ...
  <div class="checkbox">
    <label>
      <input type="checkbox"> Check me out
    </label>
  </div>
  ...
</form>

We have to alter it a bit:

<form role="form">
  ...
  <div class="checkbox">
    <input type="checkbox" id="checkbox1">
    <label for="checkbox1">
        Check me out
    </label>
  </div>
  ...
</form>

That's it. It will work. But it will not work if you nest input inside label or put label before input.

Radios

It's the same for radios. Markup has to be the following:

<form role="form">
  ...
  <div class="radio">
      <input type="radio" name="radio2" id="radio3" value="option1">
      <label for="radio3">
          One
      </label>
  </div>
  <div class="radio">
      <input type="radio" name="radio2" id="radio4" value="option2" checked>
      <label for="radio4">
          Two
      </label>
  </div>
  ...
</form>

Brand Colors

You may use checkbox-primary, checkbox-danger, radio-info, etc to style checkboxes and radios with brand bootstrap colors.

checkbox-circle is for rounded checkboxes.

Glyphicons way (Opt-out Font Awesome)

If you want to use glyphicons instead of font-awesome then override .checkbox class:

.checkbox input[type=checkbox]:checked + label:after {
    font-family: 'Glyphicons Halflings';
    content: "\e013";
}
.checkbox label:after {
    padding-left: 4px;
    padding-top: 2px;
    font-size: 9px;
}
