In rare cases, checkboxes offer a third state called the indeterminate state to indicate absence of proper value.

Examples:

Checkbox Accordion

Repeater example

Checkbox is commonly combined with a Repeater when the list of choices is dynamic.

Option 1

Option 2

Option 3

Option 4

Option 5

Please note that, in order to avoid multiple instances, controller should not be assigned to the Repeater.

Controller Index

<div controller={CbController}>
    <Repeater records-bind="$page.options">
        <Checkbox value-bind="$record.checked" text-bind="$record.text" />
        <br/>
    </Repeater>
</div>
