DSFToggleButton

A macOS NSSwitch-style toggle button scalable to any size. Supports Swift, SwiftUI and Objective-C.

Why

Because sometimes all you want is a nice, big, very visible toggle button/checkbox.

Adding to your project

Swift Package Manager

Add https://github.com/dagronf/DSFToggleButton to your project.

Usage

Since DSFToggleButton inherits from NSButton, its behaviour is the same as for a regular checkbox. You can programatically set the state or its enabled states just as you would for an NSButton for example, including manual bindings.

The control itself does not define its size, so you can make it as big or as small as you’d like. As all the drawing is scalable, the control will look great at any size you want.

Interface builder

Drop in a new custom view into your canvas and set its class to DSFToggleButton.
