# Checkbox Cards

> Whole cards that each work as one checkbox: an icon tile, title and description, with a round check that pops into the corner while the border takes the tone and the icon tile fills. Title is the accessible name, description is linked, four tones. Lay them in a grid for multi-select onboarding.

## Install

One-time setup (needs a subscription):

1. Add the registry to the project's `components.json`: `{"@assembli":{"url":"https://www.assembli.design/r/{name}.json","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer ${ASSEMBLI_API_KEY}"}}}` (merge into `"registries"`).
2. Put an API key from https://www.assembli.design/account in `.env.local` as `ASSEMBLI_API_KEY=asm_…`.

Then install with the shadcn CLI (writes `components/checkbox-cards/checkbox-cards.tsx` and installs dependencies):

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add @assembli/checkbox-cards
```
