How to use a checkbox with the binder?

3

Like any other field, the field type is Boolean, but IIRC it binds just fine with the boolean (the primitive version) as well.

4

How can I add an icon to the text in the checkbox ?

5 
Checkbox checkbox = new Checkbox();
checkbox.setLabelComponent(...);
6

The label is not showing up above the checkbox group even though I have set the label attribute. Why might this be the case? I am using lit.

Looks like you have to add `<label slot="label">Label text</label>` yourself, but this doesn't appear to be documented unless I missed it.

Edit: You also need the has-label attribute on <vaadin-checkbox-group>

No, that shouldn't be required, the `label` attribute should be enough. Did you remember to import `@vaadin/checkbox-group`?

Yes, at the top of the file:

import "@vaadin/checkbox";
import "@vaadin/checkbox-group";

And package.json:

"@vaadin/checkbox": "^24.8.0",
"@vaadin/checkbox-group": "^24.8.0",

For some reason, it also seems like the `readonly` attribute does not propagate automatically to the inner checkboxes like it should.
