import { Icon } from '@iconify/vue'
import { CheckboxIndicator, CheckboxRoot } from 'radix-vue'

const checked = ref('indeterminate')
</script>

<template>
  <StyledCheckbox v-model:checked="checked">
    <Icon icon="radix-icons:checkbox-indicator">
      <Icon v-if="checked === 'indeterminate'" icon="radix-icons:divider-horizontal" />
      <Icon v-if="checked" icon="radix-icons:check" />
    </Icon>
  </StyledCheckbox>

  <button type="button" @click="() => (checked === 'indeterminate' ? (checked = false) : (checked = 'indeterminate'))">
    Toggle indeterminate
  </button>
