In fact, components like Radios and Checkboxes are very complex to create. So we use Smooth UI as a base, but it is intentionally very light (no big components).

About TypeScript, I am sorry, I am not a TypeScript user. TypeScript support would be awesome but I need some help on this!

Radio buttons and checkboxes are complex to create? What? Am I missing something here?

They're easy to create with HTML, but complex to create with React. This makes it easy again.

> Radios and Checkboxes are very complex to create

where's that complexity?

It's like a few lines of CSS and folks in our coding bootcamp can do it after watching a YT video.

I think he means making the checkbox components reactive and extendable in React.js.

That's not an easy thing to do.

Not sure why not. And what would you want to extend on a checkbox? It's a boolean switch.

At times I have wanted a tri-state checkbox, as well as a quantum checkbox. To each his own I guess.

set it to display:none and toggle state on mousemove => Schrödinger's checkbox :)

Extendable for CSS purposes.
