Measured entry

ruixen-checkbox-indeterminate

checkboxunclassifiedmotion on file

A client-side React checkbox for checked, unchecked, and mixed states, with animated check and minus marks plus controlled or uncontrolled state. It ships as a shadcn registry TSX file styled with Tailwind utilities and depends on Motion, React, and a local cn class-merging helper.

Verdict

A focused, accessible choice for hierarchical selection, with clean controlled-state support and restrained animation. It needs a shadcn-style setup and brings meaningful Motion overhead, so it fits best where that stack is already present.

Use it if

  • You need a select-all control that visibly represents a partially selected child set.
  • Your app already uses Tailwind, a shadcn-style cn helper, and Motion.
  • You want one component that supports controlled state, uncontrolled state, labels, and disabled behavior.

Skip it if

  • You only need a standard binary checkbox and do not want an animation dependency.
  • Your design system avoids Tailwind utility classes or repository path aliases.
  • You need a headless primitive with no bundled visual treatment.
  • You require mixed state to follow custom click semantics instead of changing directly to checked.

In a non-shadcn project, add Tailwind processing, configure the source path alias, create a cn helper backed by clsx and tailwind-merge, install Motion, and ensure the file is compiled as a client-side React component.
