  <Radio value="cats">Cats</Radio>
</RadioGroup>

</RadioGroup>

<RadioGroup label="Favorite pet">
  <Radio value="dogs">

  </Radio>
</RadioGroup>

Content#

RadioGroup accepts multiple Radio elements as children. Each Radio represents an option that can be selected, labeled by its children.

Note: A Radio cannot be used outside of a RadioGroup.

Value#

RadioGroup only allows single selection. An initial, uncontrolled value can be provided to the RadioGroup using the defaultValue prop. Alternatively, a controlled value can be provided using the value prop.

function Example() {
  let [selected, setSelected] = React.useState('yes');

  return (
    <Flex gap="size-300">
      <RadioGroup label="Are you a wizard? (uncontrolled)" defaultValue="yes">
        <Radio value="yes">Yes</Radio>
        <Radio value="no">No</Radio>
      </RadioGroup>

      <RadioGroup
        label="Are you a wizard? (controlled)"
        value={selected}
        onChange={setSelected}
      >
        <Radio value="yes">Yes</Radio>
        <Radio value="no">No</Radio>
      </RadioGroup>
    </Flex>
  );
}

function Example() {
  let [selected, setSelected] = React.useState('yes');

  return (
    <Flex gap="size-300">
      <RadioGroup
        label="Are you a wizard? (uncontrolled)"
        defaultValue="yes"
      >
        <Radio value="yes">Yes</Radio>
        <Radio value="no">No</Radio>
      </RadioGroup>

      <RadioGroup
        label="Are you a wizard? (controlled)"
        value={selected}
        onChange={setSelected}
      >
        <Radio value="yes">Yes</Radio>
        <Radio value="no">No</Radio>
      </RadioGroup>
    </Flex>
  );
}

function Example() {
  let [
    selected,
    setSelected
  ] = React.useState(
    'yes'
  );

  return (
    <Flex gap="size-300">
      <RadioGroup
        label="Are you a wizard? (uncontrolled)"
        defaultValue="yes"
      >
        <Radio value="yes">
          Yes
        </Radio>
        <Radio value="no">
          No
        </Radio>
      </RadioGroup>

      <RadioGroup

        <Radio value="no">
          No
        </Radio>
      </RadioGroup>
    </Flex>
  );
}

Labeling#

A visual label should be provided for the RadioGroup using the label prop. If the RadioGroup is required, the isRequired and necessityIndicator props can be used to show a required state.

<Flex gap="size-300" wrap>
  <RadioGroup label="Favorite avatar">
    <Radio value="wizard">Wizard</Radio>
    <Radio value="dragon">Dragon</Radio>
  </RadioGroup>

  <RadioGroup label="Favorite avatar" isRequired necessityIndicator="icon">
    <Radio value="wizard">Wizard</Radio>
    <Radio value="dragon">Dragon</Radio>
  </RadioGroup>

  <RadioGroup label="Favorite avatar" isRequired necessityIndicator="label">

  </RadioGroup>

  <RadioGroup label="Favorite avatar" necessityIndicator="label">

    <Radio value="wizard">
      Wizard
    </Radio>
    <Radio value="dragon">
      Dragon
    </Radio>
  </RadioGroup>
</Flex>

Accessibility#

If a visible label isn't specified for a RadioGroup, an aria-label must be provided for accessibility. If the field is labeled by a separate element, an aria-labelledby prop must be provided using the id of the labeling element instead.

Radio elements should always have a visible label.

Internationalization#

To internationalize a RadioGroup, a localized string should be passed to the label prop and as the child content of the Radio elements. For languages that are read right-to-left (e.g. Hebrew and Arabic), the Radio is automatically placed on the right side of the text. When the necessityIndicator prop is set to "label", a localized string will be provided for "(required)" or "(optional)" automatically.

Events#

RadioGroup accepts an onChange prop, which is triggered when a user changes the selected value. The example below uses onChange to log how the user is interacting with the component.

function Example() {
  let [selected, setSelected] = React.useState('');

  return (
    <>
      <RadioGroup
        label="Favorite avatar"
        value={selected}
        onChange={setSelected}
      >
        <Radio value="wizard">Wizard</Radio>
        <Radio value="dragon">Dragon</Radio>
      </RadioGroup>
      <div>You have selected: {selected}</div>
    </>
  );
}

function Example() {
  let [selected, setSelected] = React.useState('');

  return (
    <>
      <RadioGroup
        label="Favorite avatar"
        value={selected}
        onChange={setSelected}
      >
        <Radio value="wizard">Wizard</Radio>
        <Radio value="dragon">Dragon</Radio>
      </RadioGroup>
      <div>You have selected: {selected}</div>
    </>
  );
}

function Example() {
  let [
    selected,
    setSelected
  ] = React.useState('');

  return (
    <>
      <RadioGroup
        label="Favorite avatar"
        value={selected}
        onChange={setSelected}
      >
        <Radio value="wizard">
          Wizard
        </Radio>
        <Radio value="dragon">
          Dragon
        </Radio>
      </RadioGroup>
      <div>
        You have
        selected:{' '}
        {selected}
      </div>
    </>
  );
}

Validation#

RadioGroups can display a validation state to communicate to the user if the current value is invalid. Implement your own validation logic in your app and pass "invalid" to the RadioGroup via the validationState prop.

<RadioGroup label="Favorite avatar" validationState="invalid">
  <Radio value="wizard">Wizard</Radio>
  <Radio value="dragon">Dragon</Radio>
</RadioGroup>

<RadioGroup
  label="Favorite avatar"
  validationState="invalid"
>
  <Radio value="wizard">Wizard</Radio>
  <Radio value="dragon">Dragon</Radio>
</RadioGroup>

<RadioGroup
  label="Favorite avatar"
  validationState="invalid"
>
  <Radio value="wizard">
    Wizard
  </Radio>
  <Radio value="dragon">
    Dragon
  </Radio>
</RadioGroup>

Visual options#

Orientation#

RadioGroups are vertically oriented by default. The orientation prop can be used to change the orientation to horizontal.

<RadioGroup label="Favorite avatar" orientation="horizontal">
  <Radio value="wizard">Wizard</Radio>
  <Radio value="dragon">Dragon</Radio>
</RadioGroup>

<RadioGroup
  label="Favorite avatar"
  orientation="horizontal"
>
  <Radio value="wizard">Wizard</Radio>
  <Radio value="dragon">Dragon</Radio>
</RadioGroup>

<RadioGroup
  label="Favorite avatar"
  orientation="horizontal"
>
  <Radio value="wizard">
    Wizard
  </Radio>
  <Radio value="dragon">
    Dragon
  </Radio>
</RadioGroup>

Label position and alignment#

View guidelines

By default, the label is positioned above the RadioGroup. The labelPosition prop can be used to position the label to the side. The labelAlign prop can be used to align the label as "start" or "end". For left-to-right (LTR) languages, "start" refers to the left most edge of the RadioGroup and "end" refers to the right most edge. For right-to-left (RTL) languages, this is flipped.

<RadioGroup label="Favorite avatar" labelPosition="side" labelAlign="end">
  <Radio value="wizard">Wizard</Radio>
  <Radio value="dragon">Dragon</Radio>
</RadioGroup>

<RadioGroup
  label="Favorite avatar"
  labelPosition="side"
  labelAlign="end"
>
  <Radio value="wizard">Wizard</Radio>
  <Radio value="dragon">Dragon</Radio>
</RadioGroup>

<RadioGroup
  label="Favorite avatar"
  labelPosition="side"
  labelAlign="end"
>
  <Radio value="wizard">
    Wizard
  </Radio>
  <Radio value="dragon">
    Dragon
  </Radio>
</RadioGroup>

Help text#

View guidelines

Both a description and an error message can be supplied to a RadioGroup. The description is always visible unless the validationState is “invalid” and an error message is provided. The error message can be used to help the user fix their input quickly and should be specific to the detected error. All strings should be localized.

function Example() {
  let [selected, setSelected] = React.useState('dogs');
  let isValid = selected === 'dogs';

  return (
    <RadioGroup
      aria-label="Favorite pet"
      onChange={setSelected}
      validationState={isValid ? 'valid' : 'invalid'}
      description="Please select a pet."
      errorMessage={
        selected === 'cats'
          ? 'No cats allowed.'
          : 'Please select dogs.'
      }>
      <Radio value="dogs">
        Dogs
      </Radio>
      <Radio value="cats">
        Cats
      </Radio>
      <Radio value="dragons">
        Dragons
      </Radio>
    </RadioGroup>
