import { View } from 'react-native';
import { Checkbox } from '@futurejj/react-native-checkbox';

export default function CheckboxExample() {
  const [checked, setChecked] = useState(false);

  const toggleCheckbox = () => {
    setChecked(!checked);
  };

  return (
    <View style={{ padding: 20 }}>
      <Checkbox
        status={checked ? 'checked' : 'unchecked'}
        onPress={toggleCheckbox}
      />
    </View>
  );
}
```

### Customization

```jsx
<Checkbox
  status="checked" // 'checked', 'unchecked', or 'indeterminate'
  disabled={false} // disable the checkbox
  onPress={() => {}} // handle press events
  color="#6200ee" // color when checked
  uncheckedColor="#757575" // color when unchecked
  size={32} // customize size (default: 24)
