What is a Toggle Switch?

A toggle switch is a binary control that allows users to switch between two distinct states, typically referred to as "on" and "off". It provides a simple and intuitive way to manage settings or options within an interface.

When to use Toggle Switch?

Toggle switches are ideal for settings that require a clear binary choice. Use them when you want to enable or disable a feature quickly and when the consequences of the choice are clear to the user.

When not to use Toggle Switch?

Avoid using toggle switches for complex settings that involve more than two options or states, as they may confuse users. Additionally, if the state change requires a confirmation or has significant consequences, a different control method may be more appropriate.

What is the anatomy of a Toggle Switch?

The anatomy of a toggle switch typically includes a sliding or flipping mechanism that visually indicates the current state (on or off). It often features labels or icons to clarify the function of each state, ensuring users understand what each position represents.
