Checkbox Group: Overview

A checkbox group enhances the functionality of the native <input type="checkbox"> element. Its purpose is to provide a way for users to check multiple options amongst a set of choices, or to function as a single toggle.

You should use our checkbox elements as children in checkbox group.

<lion-checkbox-group name="scientists[]" label="Favorite scientists">
  <lion-checkbox label="Archimedes" .choiceValue=${'Archimedes'}></lion-checkbox>
  <lion-checkbox label="Francis Bacon" .choiceValue=${'Francis Bacon'}></lion-checkbox>
  <lion-checkbox label="Marie Curie" .choiceValue=${'Marie Curie'}></lion-checkbox>
</lion-checkbox-group>

Make sure that the checkbox-group also has a name attribute, this is necessary for our form's serialization result.
