Feature Request: Checkboxes

[KotzaBoss]

It would be very helpfull to have a tickbox element out of the box for forms.

Good idea, but in what should it differ to this:

Well this is a selection of tickboxes. What im refering to is isolating the tickbox as a seperate form element.

For something like this (please ignore tha names)

What you see above is use of my attempt at a tick box. I implemented FormElement and encapsulated a JCheckBox. Consider the case for boolean values in a form like hotel booking. There are things that are boolean like hasWifi, hasTV or anything else. With the current tools the only way to simulate this is with either a slider of 0-1 or a selection of true and false which feel clunky. A tickbox is a very intuitive element for booleans to have in a form.

I can show you my interpretation of a "CheckBoxFormElement" so that you can give me some feedback!

Ok, I understand, for a few options it's much cleaner 👍. Please, fork the UiBooster repo and add your implemented FormElement to the src/main/java/de/milchreis/uibooster/model/formelements package. After that you can start a pull request and integrate you changes to this project. In that way it's very easy to add changes or discuss to the code.

The checkbox selection is integrated now. It could used as follows:

Form form = booster
                .createForm("Personal information")
                .addSelectionWithCheckboxes(
                        "Whats your favorite genres?",
                        Arrays.asList("Action", "Drama", "Comedy", "Romance", "Thriller", "Animation", "Fantasy",
                                "Adventure", "Crime", "Mystery", "Sci-fi", "Horror"))
                .show();
