'Custom checkbox without label's "for" attribute (Bootstrap 4)
Is there a way to still have the Bootstrap 4 custom checkbox styling without using the id on the input and the attribute for on the label? The styling for checked is not there when you remove it.
Example:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-ggOyR0iXCbMQv3Xipma34MD+dH/1fQ784/j6cY/iJTQUOhcWr7x9JvoRxT2MZw1T" crossorigin="anonymous">
<div class="custom-control custom-checkbox mb-3">
<input type="checkbox" class="custom-control-input" id="customControlValidation1" required>
<label class="custom-control-label">Check this custom checkbox</label>
</div>I've tried wrapping the input with label, but that doesn't seem to do anything either. Is there a way I could avoid giving the input a static id and still get the Boostrap styled checkbox? Thanks!

Here is simplest solution. Label should be used as wrapper for checkbox being clickable.
<div class="custom-control custom-checkbox">
<label><input type="checkbox" name="checkbox-name" class="custom-control-input">
<div class="custom-control-label"></div>
</label>

yes. simple with no JS or id
<style>
.custom-checkbox {
padding: 0;
}
.custom-checkbox .fa-toggle-on,
.custom-checkbox .fa-toggle-off {

/*this icon is relatively small*/
}
.custom-checkbox input[type=checkbox] {
visibility: collapse;
width: 0px;
margin-left: -0.25em;

no that is not possible to remove ID and For.
because the for="customControlValidation1" attribute allow us to click the id="customControlValidation1" means when we click the label it considers checkbox click and checkbox state will change.
