Checkbox

Checkbox component is used in forms when a user needs to select multiple values from several options.

Native HTML checkboxes are 100% accessible by default, so we used a very common CSS technique to style the checkboxes.

The Checkbox component composes ControlBox, a component we created to make it easy to style an element based on sibling inputs.
