## Checkbox

A group of options for multiple choices.

### Basic usage

Checkbox can be used alone to switch between two states.

:::demo Define `v-model`(bind variable) in `el-checkbox`. The default value is a `Boolean` for single `checkbox`, and it becomes `true` when selected.

```html
<template>
  <!-- `checked` should be true or false -->
  <el-checkbox v-model="checked">Option</el-checkbox>
</template>
<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        checked: true
      };
    }
  };
</script>
```
:::

### Disabled State

Disabled state for checkbox.

::: demo Set the `disabled` attribute.

```html
<template>
  <el-checkbox v-model="checked1" disabled>Option</el-checkbox>
  <el-checkbox v-model="checked2" disabled>Option</el-checkbox>
</template>
<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        checked1: false,
        checked2: true
      };
    }
  };
</script>
```

### Checkbox group

It is used for multiple checkboxes which are bound in one group, and indicates whether one option is selected by checking if it is checked.

:::demo `checkbox-group` element can manage multiple checkboxes in one group by using `v-model` which is bound as an `Array`. `label` can modify the description following the button of the checkbox. It is also the value of the checkbox. `label` corresponds with the element values in the array. It is selected if the specified value exists in the array, and vice versa.

```html
<template>
  <el-checkbox-group v-model="checkList">
    <el-checkbox label="Option A"></el-checkbox>
    <el-checkbox label="Option B"></el-checkbox>
    <el-checkbox label="Option C"></el-checkbox>
    <el-checkbox label="disabled" disabled></el-checkbox>
    <el-checkbox label="selected and disabled" disabled></el-checkbox>
  </el-checkbox-group>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    data () {
      return {
        checkList: ['selected and disabled','Option A']
      };
    }
  };
</script>
```
