Accessibility & interaction

Use a persistent visible label and provide textual errors; native controls support keyboard input and browser form constraints.

Visible focus, reduced motion, and both color themes are shared across staqui. Choose labels and document structure that make sense in your application; automated checks do not replace assistive-technology testing.

Variants & implementation notes

A native checkbox with role=switch provides Space activation, form participation and checked state. Its visible label describes the setting, not the current state.

Use the typed API above for the supported variants. The example demonstrates the primary composition; shared controls inherit hover, focus, active and disabled treatment where applicable.
