Master Checkbox Validation in Vue.js 2: Ensure One Checkbox is Selected!

Checkbox validation is an essential part of building forms that require user input. In this guide, we will address a common problem developers face: ensuring that at least one of the options in a group of checkboxes is selected before the form can be submitted. We will be using Vue.js 2 for this task, along with Vuetify.js to create the checkbox components.

The Problem

Imagine you're creating a form where users can choose options related to energy sources, such as “Hydro” and “Wind.” You want to require that users select at least one option; otherwise, an error message should appear. Ensuring users know they need to make a choice is crucial for a seamless user experience.

The Solution

Step 1: Setting Up Checkboxes in Vue.js

First, we need to set up our checkboxes using Vuetify components. Here's how to create two checkboxes in your Vue component:
