What is a Switch component?

A Switch component is a user interface element that allows users to toggle between two states, typically representing an option that can be turned on or off. It visually indicates the current state and provides an easy way to make choices.

When to use Switch?

Use a Switch when you need to allow users to quickly enable or disable a setting or feature without navigating through menus. It is especially useful for binary choices, such as turning notifications on or off.

When not to use Switch?

Avoid using a Switch when there are more than two options available or when the choice requires more detailed explanations. In such cases, a dropdown menu or radio buttons would be more appropriate.

What is the anatomy of a Switch?

The anatomy of a Switch includes the toggle itself, which visually represents the on/off states, a label indicating the function of the Switch, and sometimes an optional indicator light that shows the current status.
