Building web applications usually involves making provisions for user interactions. One of the significant ways of making provision for user interactions is through forms. Different form components exist for taking different kinds of input from the user. For example, a password component takes sensitive information from a user and masks it so that it is not visible.

Most times, the information you need to get from a user is boolean-like — for example, yes or no, true or false, enable or disable, on or off, etc. Traditionally, the checkbox form component is used for getting these kinds of input. However, in modern interface designs, toggle switches are commonly used as checkbox replacements, although there are some accessibility concerns.

In this tutorial, you will see how to build a custom toggle switch component with React. At the end of the tutorial, you will have a demo React app that uses your custom toggle switch component.

Here is a demo of the final application you will build in this tutorial:
