Measured entry

originui-comp-143

checkboxminimal-flat

A compact checkbox row with a primary label, inline sublabel, and linked description. It ships as a shadcn registry component, composes local Checkbox and Label primitives, and relies on React useId, Radix UI, Tailwind utility classes, theme tokens, and project aliases.

Verdict

A sensible, accessible composition for settings that need context, but it is a presentation example rather than a complete form field. It builds and mounts in the prepared harness, while a bare project fails because the local utility import is absent. It needs a shadcn-style setup.

Use it if

  • You need a checkbox whose choice benefits from both a short qualifier and supporting copy.
  • Your project already uses shadcn conventions, Radix primitives, Tailwind utilities, and theme tokens.
  • You want the label and description wired to the control with generated identifiers.

Skip it if

  • You need a standalone checkbox without explanatory text.
  • Your design system does not use Tailwind classes or shadcn-style local UI primitives.
  • You need a controlled value, validation state, or form-library integration included out of the box.

In a non-shadcn project, add the Radix checkbox dependency, equivalent Checkbox and Label primitives, Tailwind utilities and the referenced theme tokens, the project import alias, and the local class-name utility used by the checkbox primitive. Then adapt the imports to your folder structure.
