Shadcn Toggle
Browse 14 production-ready shadcn toggle components for two-state buttons, text formatting controls, and view mode switching. Shadcn Toggle is built on Radix UI primitives and fully compatible with Shadcn Create style options.
Shadcn Toggle: Two-State Button Control
Shadcn Toggle is a button that toggles between on and off states. Built on Radix UI primitives, it follows WAI-ARIA button semantics and announces state to screen readers via aria-pressed attribute.
Use for text formatting (bold, italic), view mode switching (list vs. grid), or any toggle-like action that doesn't fit a Shadcn Switch or Shadcn Checkbox. Shadcn Create style options apply to button colors and sizing so your design tokens flow into exported code.
ReUI lists toggle components inside text editors, content filters, and view controllers so you evaluate icon clarity, sizing, and spacing next to real workflows. The sections below explain what it is, why teams use it, which features matter, and how it pairs with other components.
What is Shadcn Toggle?
A toggle is a button that switches between two states: pressed (on) and unpressed (off). Unlike a Shadcn Button, a toggle retains its state visually after being clicked. Shadcn Toggle uses the Radix UI Toggle primitive, which manages focus, aria-pressed, and keyboard interaction.
Components here show toggle with icons, text labels, and sizing variants. They help you decide when a toggle (stateful) versus a regular button (action-oriented) is semantically correct.
Why Use Shadcn Toggle?
Teams use toggles for view options (show/hide, list/grid), text formatting (bold, italic, underline), and feature toggles in dense interfaces like editors or dashboards. A toggle signals that clicking it changes a UI state, not just triggers an action.
Searchers look for 'shadcn toggle button', 'react toggle component', and 'text formatting button'. This page answers those intents with realistic layouts showing how to combine toggles with icons, labels, and groups.
Shadcn Toggle Features
- Radix UI Foundation. Built on Radix UI Toggle primitive. Handles aria-pressed, focus, and keyboard navigation automatically.
- Icon and Text Support. Render icons from Lucide, text labels, or both. Customize sizing and spacing via Tailwind utilities and Shadcn Create options.
- Pressed State Styling. Visually distinct when pressed (e.g., different background color). Use data-state="on" or data-state="off" for conditional styling.
- Size Variants. Small, default, and large sizes for different contexts. Choose based on density and hit target needs.
- Disabled State. Set disabled prop to prevent user interaction. Style disabled toggles differently so intent is clear.
Integrating with Other Components
Use toggles with text formatting controls in rich text editors. Pair with Shadcn Button for text color or font size actions.
Combine toggles with Shadcn Toggle Group to create exclusive or multiple-select button groups (e.g., view mode: list, grid, kanban).
Show Shadcn Tooltip on icon-only toggles to clarify their purpose for screen readers and new users.
