## Code

### Component

```ts
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { MbscModule, setOptions } from '@mobiscroll/angular';

setOptions({
  theme: 'ios',
  themeVariant: 'light'
});

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root', 
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule, FormsModule, MbscModule],
})
export class AppComponent {
  sw1 = false;
  sw2 = true;
  sw3 = false;
  sw4 = true;
  primary = true;
  secondary = true;
  success = true;
  danger = true;
  warning = true;
  info = true;
}
```

### Template

```html
<mbsc-page>
  <div class="mbsc-form-group">
    <div class="mbsc-form-group-title">Switch</div>
    <mbsc-switch label="Switch Off" description="This is description for Switch" [(ngModel)]="sw1"></mbsc-switch>
    <mbsc-switch label="Switch On" description="This is description for Switch 2" [(ngModel)]="sw2"></mbsc-switch>
    <mbsc-switch label="Disabled Switch Off" [(ngModel)]="sw3" [disabled]="true"></mbsc-switch>
    <mbsc-switch label="Disabled Switch On" [(ngModel)]="sw4" [disabled]="true"> </mbsc-switch>
  </div>
  <div class="mbsc-form-group">
    <div class="mbsc-form-group-title">Switch colors</div>
    <mbsc-switch label="Primary" color="primary" [(ngModel)]="primary"></mbsc-switch>
    <mbsc-switch label="Secondary" color="secondary" [(ngModel)]="secondary"></mbsc-switch>
    <mbsc-switch label="Success" color="success" [(ngModel)]="success"></mbsc-switch>
    <mbsc-switch label="Danger" color="danger" [(ngModel)]="danger"></mbsc-switch>
    <mbsc-switch label="Warning" color="warning" [(ngModel)]="warning"></mbsc-switch>
    <mbsc-switch label="Info" color="info" [(ngModel)]="info"></mbsc-switch>
  </div>
</mbsc-page>
```

## Implementation notes

- The on/off state is controlled by `checked`/`defaultChecked` (React `defaultChecked={true}`; JS/jQuery `checked` attribute on `<input type="checkbox" mbsc-switch>`; Angular/Vue bind it through two-way binding - see below).
- `label` sets the switch's title text (JS/jQuery: `data-label` attribute).
- `description` sets secondary helper text shown under the label (JS/jQuery: `data-description` attribute).
- `disabled` renders the switch non-interactive in either the on or off state; combine with `checked`/`defaultChecked` to show a disabled-on switch.
- `color` applies a preset accent color to the track/thumb when on: `'primary'`, `'secondary'`, `'success'`, `'danger'`, `'warning'`, or `'info'`.
- Framework state binding differs: JS/jQuery both read/write state imperatively via the shared `mobiscroll.getInst(element).checked` helper; jQuery additionally offers the chained form `$(element).mobiscroll('setVal', ...)` (not available in plain JS); React uses `defaultChecked`/`checked` + `onChange`; Angular binds via `[(ngModel)]="value"` for two-way sync; Vue binds via `v-model="value"`.
- Framework markup differences: JS/jQuery wraps a plain `<input type="checkbox" mbsc-switch>` in a `<label>` with `data-*` attributes for `label`/`description`/`color`; React uses `<Switch label="..." description="..." color="primary" disabled={true} defaultChecked={true} />`; Angular uses `<mbsc-switch label="..." color="primary" [(ngModel)]="value" [disabled]="true">`; Vue uses `<MbscSwitch v-model="value" label="..." color="primary" />` (with `disabled` set separately per switch since it isn't part of the `v-model` binding).
- Grouping switches under a shared `mbsc-form-group` with an `mbsc-form-group-title` is a layout convention for the demo, not a switch option - each switch instance is independently configured.
