Overview
Parent Child Checkbox is a Flutter package that enables hierarchical checkbox structures, allowing users to create nested checklists where parent checkboxes control the state of their child checkboxes. It supports intuitive selection and deselection across levels, making it ideal for forms, task lists, or settings with grouped options. The package is lightweight, easy to integrate, and works across all major platforms including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux.
