Bootstrap 4 Toggle is a bootstrap plugin/widget that converts checkboxes into toggles. This is a fork from gitbrent/bootstrap4-toggle with support for jQuery 3.5 without using deprecated features.
Simply add data-toggle="toggle" to automatically convert a plain checkbox into a bootstrap 4 toggle.
<input id="chkToggle" type="checkbox" data-toggle="toggle">Toggles can also be initialized via JavaScript code.
EX: Initialize id chkToggle with a single line of JavaScript.
<input id="chkToggle" type="checkbox" checked>
<script>
$(function(){
$('#chkToggle').bootstrapToggle();
});
</script>- Options can be passed via data attributes or JavaScript
- For data attributes, append the option name to
data-(ex:data-on="Enabled")
<input type="checkbox" data-toggle="toggle" data-on="Enabled" data-off="Disabled">
<input type="checkbox" id="toggle-two">
<script>
$(function() {
$('#toggle-two').bootstrapToggle({
on: 'Enabled',
off: 'Disabled'
});
})
</script>| Name | Type | Default | Description |

Methods can be used to control toggles directly.
<input id="toggle-demo" type="checkbox" data-toggle="toggle">| Method | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| initialize | $('#toggle-demo').bootstrapToggle() |
Initializes the toggle plugin with options |
| destroy | $('#toggle-demo').bootstrapToggle('destroy') |
Destroys the toggle |
| on | $('#toggle-demo').bootstrapToggle('on') |
Sets the toggle to 'On' state |
| off | $('#toggle-demo').bootstrapToggle('off') |
Sets the toggle to 'Off' state |
| toggle | $('#toggle-demo').bootstrapToggle('toggle') |

| enable | $('#toggle-demo').bootstrapToggle('enable') |

Note All events are propagated to and from input element to the toggle.
You should listen to events from the <input type="checkbox"> directly rather than look for custom events.
<input id="toggle-event" type="checkbox" data-toggle="toggle">
<div id="console-event"></div>
<script>
$(function() {
$('#toggle-event').change(function() {
$('#console-event').html('Toggle: ' + $(this).prop('checked'))
})
})
</script>Passing true to the on/off methods will enable the silent option to prevent the control from propagating the change event in
cases where you want to update the controls on/off state, but do not want to fire the onChange event.
<input id="toggle-silent" type="checkbox" data-toggle="toggle">
<button class="btn btn-success" onclick="toggleApiOnSilent()" >On by API (silent)</button>
<button class="btn btn-success" onclick="toggleApiOffSilent()">Off by API (silent)</button>
<button class="btn btn-warning" onclick="toggleApiOnNotSilent()">On by API (not silent)</button>
<button class="btn btn-warning" onclick="toggleApiOffNotSilent()">On by API (not silent)</button>
<script>
function toggleApiOnSilent() {
$('#toggle-silent').bootstrapToggle('on', true);
}
function toggleApiOffSilent() {
$('#toggle-silent').bootstrapToggle('off', true);
}
function toggleApiOnNotSilent() {
$('#toggle-silent').bootstrapToggle('on');
}
function toggleApiOffNotSilent() {
$('#toggle-silent').bootstrapToggle('off');
}
</script>This also means that using the API or Input to trigger events will work both ways.
<input id="toggle-trigger" type="checkbox" data-toggle="toggle">
<button class="btn btn-success" onclick="toggleApiOn()" >On by API</button>
<button class="btn btn-danger" onclick="toggleApiOff()">Off by API</button>
<button class="btn btn-success" onclick="toggleInpOn()" >On by Input</button>
<button class="btn btn-danger" onclick="toggleInpOff()">Off by Input</button>
<script>
function toggleApiOn() {
$('#toggle-trigger').bootstrapToggle('on')
}
function toggleApiOff() {
$('#toggle-trigger').bootstrapToggle('off')
}
function toggleInpOn() {
$('#toggle-trigger').prop('checked', true).change()
}
function toggleInpOff() {
$('#toggle-trigger').prop('checked', false).change()
}
</script>
