    colors: CheckboxColors = CheckboxDefaults.colors()
)

Parameters

namedescription
checkedwhether Checkbox is checked or unchecked
onCheckedChangecallback to be invoked when checkbox is being clicked, therefore the change of checked state in requested. If null, then this is passive and relies entirely on a higher-level component to control the "checked" state.
modifierModifier to be applied to the layout of the checkbox
enabledwhether the component is enabled or grayed out
interactionSourcean optional hoisted [MutableInteractionSource] for observing and emitting [Interaction]s for this checkbox. You can use this to change the checkbox's appearance or preview the checkbox in different states. Note that if null is provided, interactions will still happen internally.
colors[CheckboxColors] that will be used to determine the color of the checkmark / box / border in different states. See [CheckboxDefaults.colors].

Code Example
