Checkbox column

CheckboxColumn renders an inline checkbox for boolean fields, using the same editable-column pipeline as select, toggle, and text input:

from almasix.orbit.tables import CheckboxColumn

CheckboxColumn.make("approved")

Use ToggleColumn when a switch fits your UI better. Reach for CheckboxColumn for standard checkbox semantics — approval flags, permissions, bulk-style booleans.

Disabling the column

Prevent specific rows from being edited with .disabled():

CheckboxColumn.make("featured").disabled(
    lambda record=None, **_: not record.get("approved"),
)

Reacting to updates

.before_state_updated() / .after_state_updated() run around the persisted change, each receiving (record, state, old):

CheckboxColumn.make("approved").after_state_updated(
    lambda record=None, state=None, old=None, **_: notify_review(record, state),
)

For read-only booleans, use BooleanColumn or TextColumn.boolean() instead — reserve CheckboxColumn for values operators should change from the index.

Full example

from almasix.orbit.tables import Table, TextColumn, CheckboxColumn

Table.make("reviews").columns([
    TextColumn.make("title").searchable(),
    CheckboxColumn.make("approved").label("OK").align_center(),
    CheckboxColumn.make("featured")
        .align_center()
        .disabled(lambda record=None, **_: not record.get("approved")),
]).records([
    {"id": 1, "title": "Great write-up", "approved": True, "featured": False},
    {"id": 2, "title": "Needs edits", "approved": False, "featured": False},
])
