Switch

Switch is used for switching between two opposing states.

Basic usage

:::demo Bind v-model to a Boolean typed variable. The active-color and inactive-color attribute decides the background color in two states.

<el-switch v-model="value1">
</el-switch>
<el-switch
  v-model="value2"
  active-color="#13ce66"
  inactive-color="#ff4949">
</el-switch>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        value1: true,
        value2: true
      }
    }
  };
</script>

Text description

:::demo You can add active-text and inactive-text attribute to show texts.

<el-switch
  v-model="value1"
  active-text="Pay by month"
  inactive-text="Pay by year">
</el-switch>
<el-switch
  style="display: block"
  v-model="value2"
  active-color="#13ce66"
  inactive-color="#ff4949"
  active-text="Pay by month"
  inactive-text="Pay by year">
</el-switch>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        value1: true,
        value2: true
      }
    }
  };
</script>

:::

Extended value types

:::demo You can set active-value and inactive-value attributes. They both receive a Boolean, String or Number typed value.

<el-tooltip :content="'Switch value: ' + value" placement="top">
  <el-switch
    v-model="value"
    active-color="#13ce66"
    inactive-color="#ff4949"
    active-value="100"
    inactive-value="0">
  </el-switch>
</el-tooltip>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        value: '100'
      }
    }
  };
</script>

:::

Disabled

:::demo Adding the disabled attribute disables Switch.

<el-switch
  v-model="value1"
  disabled>
</el-switch>
<el-switch
  v-model="value2"
  disabled>
</el-switch>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        value1: true,
        value2: false
      }
    }
  };
</script>
