6 JavaScript Checkboxes

We present modern approaches to styling checkboxes, ranging from pure CSS (utilizing ::before/::after pseudo-elements) to complex JavaScript animations. The core focus is on enhancing UX through smooth transformations and state feedback, often using libraries that ensure high-performance changes to CSS properties (transform, opacity).

This interactive checklist showcases a sophisticated “delete” micro-interaction, driven by a gsap.timeline that is triggered by a minimal JavaScript state machine. The timeline precisely choreographs a complex sequence of tweens, including a unique checkmark effect created with the DrawSVG plugin, to animate SVG <line> elements and the <label> into a fluid and satisfying animation.
