Introduction

The toggle buttons input provides a group of buttons for selecting a single value, or multiple values, from a list of predefined options:

Changing the color of option buttons

You can change the color of the option buttons using the colors() method. Each key in the array should correspond to an option value:
If you are using an enum for the options, you can use the HasColor interface to define colors instead.

Adding icons to option buttons

You can add icon to the option buttons using the icons() method. Each key in the array should correspond to an option value, and the value may be any valid icon:
If you are using an enum for the options, you can use the HasIcon interface to define icons instead. If you want to display only icons, you can use hiddenButtonLabels() to hide the option labels.

Adding tooltips to option buttons

You can add different tooltips to each option button using the tooltips() method.

Boolean options

If you want a simple boolean toggle button group, with “Yes” and “No” options, you can use the boolean() method:
The options will have colors and icons set up automatically, but you can override these with colors() or icons(). To customize the “Yes” label, you can use the trueLabel argument on the boolean() method:
To customize the “No” label, you can use the falseLabel argument on the boolean() method:

Positioning the options inline with each other

You may wish to display the buttons inline() with each other:
Optionally, you may pass a boolean value to control if the buttons should be inline or not:

Grouping option buttons

You may wish to group option buttons together so they are more compact, using the grouped() method. This also makes them appear horizontally inline with each other:
Optionally, you may pass a boolean value to control if the buttons should be grouped or not:

Selecting multiple buttons

The multiple() method on the ToggleButtons component allows you to select multiple values from the list of options:
These options are returned in JSON format. If you’re saving them using Eloquent, you should be sure to add an array cast to the model property:
Optionally, you may pass a boolean value to control if the buttons should allow multiple selections or not:

Splitting options into columns

You may split options into columns by using the columns() method:
This method accepts the same options as the columns() method of the grid. This allows you to responsively customize the number of columns at various breakpoints.

Setting the grid direction

By default, when you arrange buttons into columns, they will be listed in order vertically. If you’d like to list them horizontally, you may use the gridDirection(GridDirection::Row) method:

Disabling specific options

You can disable specific options using the disableOptionWhen() method. It accepts a closure, in which you can check if the option with a specific $value should be disabled:
If you want to retrieve the options that have not been disabled, e.g. for validation purposes, you can do so using getEnabledOptions():
