CheckboxGroup
Chakra exports a CheckboxGroup
component to help manage the checked state of
its children Checkbox
components and conveniently pass a few shared style
props to each. See the props table at the bottom of this page for a list of the
shared styling props.
<CheckboxGroup colorScheme="green" defaultValue={["naruto", "kakashi"]}>
<Stack spacing={[1, 5]} direction={["column", "row"]}>
<Checkbox value="naruto">Naruto</Checkbox>
<Checkbox value="sasuke">Sasuke</Checkbox>
<Checkbox value="kakashi">Kakashi</Checkbox>
</Stack>
</CheckboxGroup>
