# deliteful/Switch
The `deliteful/Switch` widget represents a toggle switch with a sliding knob. Its state can be changed either by a
direct tap/click or by sliding the knob to toggle the switch.

## Element Instantiation
See [`delite/Widget`](/delite/docs/master/Widget.md) for full details on how instantiation lifecycle is working.
### Declarative Instantiation
```html
<html>
<body>
<d-switch checked="true"></d-switch>
<d-switch checkedLabel="ON" uncheckedLabel="OFF" name="bluetooth"></d-switch>
</body>
</html>
```
### Programmatic Instantiation
```js
require([
"delite/register",
"deliteful/Switch"
], function (register, Switch) {
register.parse();
var sw = new Switch({checked:true});
sw.placeAt(document.body);
sw = new Switch({checkedLabel: "ON", uncheckedLabel: "OFF", name: "bluetooth"});
sw.placeAt(document.body);
});
```
<a name="configuration"></a>
## Element Configuration
The state of a Switch widget (checked or unchecked) is defined by the `checked` property, inherited from the
`deliteful/Toggle` class.
The Switch widget can display optional labels corresponding to the checked and unchecked states via the `checkedLabel`
and `uncheckedLabel` properties.
In addition, the Switch widget supports the following form-related properties of an HTML5 input element of
type "checkbox": `name`, `value`, `disabled` and `alt`, inherited from `delite/FormWidget`.

## Element Styling
### Supported themes
This widget provides default styling for the following delite themes:
* bootstrap
* ios
* holodark
### CSS Classes
CSS classes are bound to the structure of the widget declared in its template `deliteful/Switch/Switch.html`.
The following table lists all the CSS classes that can be used to style the widget.
|class name/selector|applies to|
|----------|----------|
|d-switch|Switch widget node
|d-switch-width|Switch widget node
|d-switch-rounded|Switch widget and knob nodes
|d-switch-leading|Switch leading node (aka the node displayed in checked state).
|d-switch-trailing|Switch trailing node (aka the node displayed in unchecked state).
In addition, the following classes are used in combination with the classes above:
|class name/selector|applies to|
|----------|----------|
|d-checked|Switch widget node in checked state
|d-focused|Switch widget node in focus state
|d-rtl|Switch node in right-to-left configuration
### Customizing the appearance of the Switch
The rendering style used to display the checked and unchecked sides of a switch are defined by the `d-switch-leading` and
`d-switch-trailing` css classes.
The rounded border used to display both the switch main shape and the knob shape is defined by the `d-switch-rounded`
class.
The width of a switch is defined by the `d-switch-width` class and is equal to `70px` by default.
Note that due to the way the switch was designed, you can't express its width in '%'. Any other unit will work.
A Switch widget does not define any specific height by default but strech according to the current `line-height`.
The following example shows how to override these classes to change the appearance of the switch:
<iframe width="100%" height="300" src="http://jsfiddle.net/ibmjs/56evcgma/embedded/result,html,css,js"
allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0">
<a href="http://jsfiddle.net/ibmjs/56evcgma/">checkout the sample on JSFiddle</a></iframe>
<a name="events"></a>
## Element Events
The widget `deliteful/Switch` emits a `change` event when its checked state is changed following a user interaction.
|event name|dispatched|cancelable|bubbles|properties|
|----------|----------|----------|-------|----------|
|change|on state change|No |Yes|standard HTML5 Event properties|

by the widget are coming from the `checkedLabel` and `uncheckedLabel` properties that are empty by default.
