Toggle Switcher using CSS

A toggle switcher is a type of UI component that allows users to switch between two states, such as on`` and off`.

HTML

<input type="checkbox" id="toggle" class="offscreen" />
<label for="toggle" class="switch"></label>

CSS

.switch {
  position: relative;
  display: inline-block;
  width: 40px;
  height: 20px;
  background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);
  border-radius: 20px;
  transition: all 0.3s;
}

.switch::after {
  content: '';
  position: absolute;
  width: 18px;
  height: 18px;
  border-radius: 18px;
  background-color: white;
  top: 1px;
  left: 1px;
  transition: all 0.3s;
}

input[type='checkbox']:checked + .switch::after {
  transform: translateX(20px);
}

input[type='checkbox']:checked + .switch {
  background-color: #7983ff;
}

.offscreen {
  position: absolute;
  left: -9999px;
}

In the above code snippet, we are using the input element with the type attribute set to checkbox to create a toggle switcher. We are using the :checked pseudo-class to style the switcher when it is checked. The + selector is used to select the adjacent sibling of the input element.
