# choice.bulk

Picks a row to act on together with others: the checkbox at the start of a table row. Pass pressed while picked; show a layout.toolbar of actions while any are picked

Component: [`<Action>`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/components/action.md) · Renders: `<button>` · Profile: [UI](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/ui.md) · Comes from: [SaaS pack](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/packs/saas.md)

## Example

```tsx
<td>
  <Action intent="choice.bulk" pressed={picked.has(row.id)} icon={picked.has(row.id) ? <SquareCheck /> : <Square />}
    label={`Select ${row.name}`} onClick={() => toggle(row.id)} />
</td>
```

Code that says `select`, `bulk`, `checkbox`, `pick` points here. `prongs check` warns when an element with this intent has a handler or label that points somewhere else.

## Choosing between neighbours

Find the row that describes your element, and use the intent on the right.

| If it is for… | Use |
|---|---|
| Picks a row to act on together with others: the checkbox at the start of a table row. Pass pressed while picked; show a layout.toolbar of actions while any are picked | `choice.bulk` (this page) |
| Narrowing which items are shown | [`choice.filter`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/choice/filter.md) |

## Connections

Declared in the registry, both directions. Where an intent is used in your own code is something check and the gallery see; this site has no app code.

## For registry authors

**Pack intent.** `prongs add saas` puts the saas pack’s intents in your registry. They are then yours like the starter intents: rename, restyle and add to them, and see them with `prongs add gallery`.

What this intent is built from and its entry in `components/prongs/registry.ts`. You only need this to change how it looks or to add an intent like it.
