Toggle Button

Overview

A toggle button allows a user to toggle a selection on or off, for example switching between two states or modes.

Variants

Toggle buttons can take 2 primary forms

  • Icon - Icons can be useful for smaller areas where space is limited and a clearly recognizable icon can enhance “scan-ability”
  • Text - A Text variant is available for use-cases where the options need to be spelled out or don’t have a recognizable icon

Sizes

Toggle buttons come in three sizes: sm, md & lg

Sizes

Orientation options are also available for Toggle buttons: Horizontal & Vertical

States

Always use clear iconograph that communicates simple concepts of choice. Abstract icons that require thought may add confusion.

Use clear iconography

Keep the number of options to a minimum to avoid overwhelming the end-user or risking the look of navigation. Options in toggle buttons should only reflect simple and intentional choices.
