Switch

A "Switch" component is a user interface element used to toggle between two states, typically representing an on/off or enabled/disabled state.

Use Cases:

✅ Toggling settings: Use the "Switch" component to allow users to easily turn specific settings on or off, such as enabling notifications, dark mode, or privacy options.

✅ Binary choices: "Switch" components are suitable for scenarios where there are two distinct states or options, and users need to make a choice between them.

✅ Real-time updates: "Switch" components are ideal for situations where users need to see an immediate change based on their selection, without the need for additional confirmation.

✅ Compact space utilization: "Switch" components offer a space-efficient way to present toggleable options, especially in settings panels or control bars.

Not to Use Cases:

❌ Multi-option selections: "Switch" components are not suitable for scenarios where there are more than two options or where complex configuration is required. For such cases, consider using checkboxes, radio buttons, or dropdown menus.

❌ Complex interactions: Avoid using "Switch" components for actions that involve multi-step processes or require additional user input beyond a simple binary choice.

❌ Confusing usage: Do not use "Switch" components in situations where the meaning of the toggle action is unclear or where it might lead to user confusion.
