How to make a checkbox in circle shape with custom css?

Question

How do I make a checkbox rounded with custom CSS? Something similar to the image below. I know there are frameworks like bootstrap provides this, but I don't want to use a framework for this sole purpose as I'm already using angular material.

HTML Code:

    <label class="checkbox-inline">
        <input type="checkbox" name="favoriteColors" ng-model="notification.checked"> 
    </label>

Thanks in Advance.

Answer 1

You don't need a 3rd party boot strap & can accomplish this using CSS3+. Here is a simple example primarily using outline & border-radius to make your circle effect. Personally I would make them oval by increasing the height to 0.85rem but the OP asked for a circle so the height/width are the same. I used a gradient for the background but you can use the commented out for checked which should make it gray. This example should work for any background which is why I went with invert.

input[type="checkbox"] {
    transform: scale(0.93);
    mix-blend-mode: difference;
    appearance: none;
    display: inline-block;
    filter: invert(1);
    border: 0rem;
    border-radius: 50%;
    width: 0.75rem;
    height: 0.75rem;
    outline-style: ridge;
    outline-color: invert;
    outline-width: 0.05rem;
    --grad: linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(2,0,131,1) 0%, rgba(9,9,196,1) 35%, rgba(0,212,255,1) 100%);
}

input[type="checkbox"]:checked {        
    filter: invert(0.7);
    /*background-color: rgb(0 0 0 / 40%);*/
    background: var(--grad);
}

use

.custom-checkbox .custom-control-label::before {
  border-radius: 999px;
}

Answer 3

Just set the checkbox's type to equal checkbox and add a border-radius as 100% in your CSS stylesheet, as well as specifying the height and width (which should be identical to each other in order to make a square as the base of your circle) , in order to make them totally rounded, as in perfect circles. Simple as that.

Answer 4

If you're sure you want check boxes and not radio buttons

Check boxes are generally square and several can be checked, radio buttons are circular but only one out of a group can be selected

I've written a little bit of CSS based off this (checkboxfour) but I've changed it slightly to make it fit with what you've asked for.

.customcb {
  width: 17px;
  height: 17px;
  margin: 2px 0 2px 0;
  background: #ddd;
  border-radius: 100%;
  position: relative;
  -webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, .5);
  -moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, .5);
  box-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, .5);
}
.customcb label.inner {
  display: block;
  width: 12.75px;
  height: 12.75px;
  border-radius: 100px;
  -webkit-transition: all .5s ease;
  -moz-transition: all .5s ease;
  -o-transition: all .5s ease;
  -ms-transition: all .5s ease;
  transition: all .5s ease;
  cursor: pointer;
  position: absolute;
  top: 2.125px;
  left: 2.125px;
  z-index: 1;
  background: #eee;
  -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, .5);
  -moz-box-shadow: inset 0 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, .5);
  box-shadow: inset 0 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, .5)
}
.customcb label.outer {
  margin-left: 25px;
}
.customcb [type=checkbox] {
  display: none
}
.red.customcb input[type=checkbox]:checked+label.inner {
  background: red
}
.orange.customcb input[type=checkbox]:checked+label.inner {
  background: #d61
}
.green.customcb input[type=checkbox]:checked+label.inner {
  background: green
}

<div class="red customcb">
  <input type="checkbox" value="1" id="customcb1" name="" />
  <label class="inner" for="customcb1"></label>
  <label class="outer" for="customcb1">Red</label>
</div>

<div class="orange customcb">
  <input type="checkbox" value="1" id="customcb2" name="" />
  <label class="inner" for="customcb2"></label>
  <label class="outer" for="customcb2">Amber</label>
</div>

<div class="green customcb">
  <input type="checkbox" value="1" id="customcb3" name="" />
  <label class="inner" for="customcb3"></label>
  <label class="outer" for="customcb3">Green</label>
</div>

Also I've shown that you can use different colours by changing the class and of course adding the colour to the CSS, the last 3 sections of CSS are all about the colours. The middle one is the orange from the picture you shared.

If you follow the tutorial I've linked you'll get a good idea of what I've done and why.

I think it might be worth reading this which covers all of the input types (feel free to ignore if you know about them already)

I hope this helps.

Answer 6

You can use pseudoclasses for the label, and visually hide the actual checkbox.

/* Base for label styling */
[type="checkbox"]:not(:checked),
[type="checkbox"]:checked {
  position: absolute;
  left: -9999px;
}
[type="checkbox"]:not(:checked) + label,
[type="checkbox"]:checked + label {
  position: relative;
  padding-left: 25px;
  cursor: pointer;
}

/* checkbox aspect */
[type="checkbox"]:not(:checked) + label:before,
[type="checkbox"]:checked + label:before {
  content: '';
  position: absolute;
  left:0; top: 2px;
  width: 18px; height: 18px;
  border-radius: 9px; //this should be half of height and width
  border: 1px solid #999;
  background: #ffff;
  box-shadow: inset 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,.3)
}
/* checked mark aspect */
[type="checkbox"]:checked + label:before {
  background: orange;
}

Answer 7

use radio buttons. if you want multiple selection, you can set the same name for all the radio buttons and use different id's.

Answer 8

You directly use the css from here http://flatlogic.github.io/awesome-bootstrap-checkbox/demo/ .. Just include .checkbox-circle class in your code and use.
