CheckboxGroup

A group of <Checkbox> buttons. The <Checkbox> buttons may either be direct children or descendants of the checkbox group.

Note: Setting value will override defaultValue as it puts the group of checkboxes into a controlled state. value will not override checkboxes that have checked set, as CheckboxGroup will take control of uncontrolled Checkbox components and can't override controlled ones. value will however override defaultChecked on Checkbox.

The onChange event handler for CheckboxGroup will fire after any onChange event handler set on individual Checkbox components. However, it is highly recommended to only set one event handler for the whole group in a controlled CheckboxGroup.

Checkbox components must have a value set on them in order to be controlled by CheckboxGroup.
