Switch

The Switch component allows users to toggle a control between two states. The default state of the component is off, or false, however you can change the state by setting the checked property to a boolean value. To handle the state change event you can use the checkedChange property, which notifies the app when the value has changed.

Usage

<Switch checked="true" (checkedChange)="onCheckedChange($event)"></Switch>

import { Component } from "@angular/core";
import { EventData } from "tns-core-modules/data/observable";
import { Switch } from "tns-core-modules/ui/switch";

@Component({
    moduleId: module.id,
    templateUrl: "./usage.component.html"
})
export class BasicSwitchComponent {

    onCheckedChange(args: EventData) {
        let sw = args.object as Switch;
        let isChecked = sw.checked; // boolean
    }
}

Styling

The styling properties for the Swtich control are as follows:

• color- Controls the handle color
• bacxgroundColor(background-color in CSS) - Controls the background color while the switch is in ON state.
  • offBackgroundColor (off-background-color in CSS) - Controls the background color while the switch is in OFF state.

<!-- Styling via inline properties -->
<Switch color="yellow" backgroundColor="green" offBackgroundColor="red">
</Switch>

Note: When using @nativescript/theme the default style will be set according to the used theme (no need to set additional CSS classes).
