Measured entry

shadcn-toggle

switchunclassified

A client-side React pressed-state button copied into your app as source, wrapping the Radix UI Toggle primitive. Its visual variants use class-variance-authority, Tailwind utility classes, and a local cn helper backed by clsx and tailwind-merge.

BARE BUILD

Verdict

A dependable choice for compact, independently toggled actions. It built and mounted cleanly, stayed responsive, and produced no detected accessibility violations. The main tradeoff is adopting its Tailwind token conventions and Radix dependency for a small control.

Use it if

  • You need an independently pressed toolbar action such as bold, mute, or pin.
  • Your app already uses Tailwind and shadcn-style theme tokens.
  • You want Radix-managed keyboard, focus, disabled, and controlled-state behavior while retaining local source ownership.

Skip it if

  • You need a mutually exclusive or coordinated set of controls, where Toggle Group is the better primitive.
  • You need a form setting presented as an on-off switch rather than a pressed button.
  • Your project does not use Tailwind and you do not want to translate its theme-token classes.
  • You want a dependency-free button and can implement pressed-state behavior yourself.

Providerno provider required in the harness

In a non-shadcn project, add Radix UI, class-variance-authority, clsx, and tailwind-merge; provide the cn class-merging helper; and define or replace the Tailwind theme-token utilities used for muted, accent, input, ring, and destructive states. Keep it in a client-rendered React boundary.
