st.checkbox

Display a checkbox widget.

Function signature[source]
st.checkbox(label, value=False, key=None, help=None, on_change=None, args=None, kwargs=None, *, disabled=False, label_visibility="visible")
Parameters
label (str)	A short label explaining to the user what this checkbox is for. The label can optionally contain Markdown and supports the following elements: Bold, Italics, Strikethroughs, Inline Code, Emojis, and Links. This also supports: Emoji shortcodes, such as `:+1:` and `:sunglasses:`. For a list of all supported codes, see https://share.streamlit.io/streamlit/emoji-shortcodes. LaTeX expressions, by wrapping them in "$" or "$$" (the "$$" must be on their own lines). Supported LaTeX functions are listed at https://katex.org/docs/supported.html. Colored text, using the syntax `:color[text to be colored]`, where `color` needs to be replaced with any of the following supported colors: blue, green, orange, red, violet, gray/grey, rainbow. Unsupported elements are unwrapped so only their children (text contents) render. Display unsupported elements as literal characters by backslash-escaping them. E.g. `1\. Not an ordered list`. For accessibility reasons, you should never set an empty label (label="") but hide it with label_visibility if needed. In the future, we may disallow empty labels by raising an exception.
value (bool)	Preselect the checkbox when it first renders. This will be cast to bool internally.
key (str or int)	An optional string or integer to use as the unique key for the widget. If this is omitted, a key will be generated for the widget based on its content. Multiple widgets of the same type may not share the same key.
help (str)	An optional tooltip that gets displayed next to the checkbox.
on_change (callable)	An optional callback invoked when this checkbox's value changes.
args (tuple)	An optional tuple of args to pass to the callback.
kwargs (dict)	An optional dict of kwargs to pass to the callback.
disabled (bool)	An optional boolean, which disables the checkbox if set to True. The default is False.
label_visibility ("visible", "hidden", or "collapsed")	The visibility of the label. If "hidden", the label doesn't show but there is still empty space for it (equivalent to label=""). If "collapsed", both the label and the space are removed. Default is "visible".
Returns
(bool)	Whether or not the checkbox is checked.

Example

import streamlit as st

agree = st.checkbox('I agree')

if agree:
    st.write('Great!')
