Overview

RadioGroup provides a set of radio buttons where only one can be selected at a time. Built on Base UI Radio.

tsx

import { RadioGroup, RadioGroupItem } from "@rogo-technologies/ui/radio-group";

<RadioGroup defaultValue="option-one">
  <div className="flex items-center gap-2">
    <RadioGroupItem value="option-one" id="option-one" />
    <label htmlFor="option-one">Option One</label>
  </div>
  <div className="flex items-center gap-2">
    <RadioGroupItem value="option-two" id="option-two" />
    <label htmlFor="option-two">Option Two</label>
  </div>
</RadioGroup>;

Usage

Controlled

tsx

const [value, setValue] = useState("comfortable");

<RadioGroup value={value} onValueChange={setValue}>
  <RadioGroupItem value="default" id="option-default" />
  <RadioGroupItem value="comfortable" id="option-comfortable" />
  <RadioGroupItem value="compact" id="option-compact" />
</RadioGroup>;

Disabled

tsx

<RadioGroup defaultValue="option-a" disabled>
  <RadioGroupItem value="option-a" />
  <RadioGroupItem value="option-b" />
</RadioGroup>

<RadioGroup defaultValue="available">
  <RadioGroupItem value="available" />
  <RadioGroupItem value="unavailable" disabled />
</RadioGroup>

Composable API

Use RadioGroupRoot, RadioItem, and RadioIndicator for custom indicator content.

tsx

import { RadioGroupRoot, RadioItem, RadioIndicator } from "@rogo-technologies/ui/radio-group";

<RadioGroupRoot defaultValue="option-a">
  <RadioItem value="option-a">
    <RadioIndicator />
  </RadioItem>
</RadioGroupRoot>

<RadioGroupRoot defaultValue="option-a">
  <RadioItem value="option-a">
    <RadioIndicator>
      <span className="text-brand text-[10px]">●</span>
    </RadioIndicator>
  </RadioItem>
</RadioGroupRoot>

With form libraries

tsx

import { useForm, Controller } from "react-hook-form";

const { control, handleSubmit } = useForm({ defaultValues: { plan: "free" } });

<form onSubmit={handleSubmit(onSubmit)}>
  <Controller
    control={control}
    name="plan"
    render={({ field }) => (
      <RadioGroup value={field.value} onValueChange={field.onChange}>
        <RadioGroupItem value="free" id="plan-free" />
        <label htmlFor="plan-free">Free</label>
        <RadioGroupItem value="pro" id="plan-pro" />
        <label htmlFor="plan-pro">Pro</label>
      </RadioGroup>
    )}
  />
</form>;

Accessibility

Radio group uses role="radiogroup" with arrow key navigation
Each radio is keyboard accessible with Space to select
Focus is visible with a ring indicator
Associates with labels via id and htmlFor
Supports aria-labelledby for group labels

tsx

<RadioGroup aria-labelledby="plan-heading">
  <h3 id="plan-heading">Choose a plan</h3>
  <RadioGroupItem value="free" id="plan-free" />
  <label htmlFor="plan-free">Free</label>
</RadioGroup>

Guidelines

Do

Always pair radio items with visible labels
Use radio groups for mutually exclusive options (only one can be selected)
Provide a sensible default selection when possible
Group related options together visually

Don't

Don't use radio buttons when multiple selections are allowed — use checkboxes instead
Don't use radio groups for binary on/off toggles — use a switch instead
Don't have more than 7 options in a radio group — consider a select or combobox instead
Don't style radio groups as segmented/tab-like controls — use tabs for view switching
Don't leave a required radio group without a default — users can't deselect
