# Filament - Forms/Fields/Checkbox
Source: https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/forms/fields/checkbox
#Overview
---------
The checkbox component, similar to a toggle, allows you to interact a boolean value.
```php
use Filament\Forms\Components\Checkbox;
Checkbox::make('is_admin')
```
 
If you’re saving the boolean value using Eloquent, you should be sure to add a `boolean` cast to the model property:
```php
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class User extends Model
{
protected $casts = [
'is_admin' => 'boolean',
];
// ...
}
```
#Positioning the label above
----------------------------
Checkbox fields have two layout modes, inline and stacked. By default, they are inline.
When the checkbox is inline, its label is adjacent to it:
```php
use Filament\Forms\Components\Checkbox;
Checkbox::make('is_admin')->inline()
```
 
When the checkbox is stacked, its label is above it:
```php
use Filament\Forms\Components\Checkbox;
Checkbox::make('is_admin')->inline(false)
```
 
#Checkbox validation
--------------------
As well as all rules listed on the validation page, there are additional rules that are specific to checkboxes.
### #Accepted validation
You may ensure that the checkbox is checked using the `accepted()` method:
```php
use Filament\Forms\Components\Checkbox;
Checkbox::make('terms_of_service')
->accepted()
```
### #Declined validation
You may ensure that the checkbox is not checked using the `declined()` method:
```php
use Filament\Forms\Components\Checkbox;
Checkbox::make('is_under_18')
->declined()
```
