Radio Group
Radio groups are a collection of radio options. Use this when only one entry is allowed in the form field.
Basic usage
<RadioGroup
v-model="receiveNewsletter"
label="Would you like to receive our newsletter?"
name="newsletter"
>
<RadioNew
id="yes"
label="Yes"
value="yes"
/>
<RadioNew
id="no"
label="No"
value="no"
/>
</RadioGroup>Variants
The RadioGroup component comes with four variants. You can set them via the variant property. The default value is radio.
Radio
<RadioGroup variant="radio" label="Shirt size">
<RadioNew
id="small"
label="Small"
value="sm"
/>
<RadioNew
id="medium"
label="Medium"
value="md"
/>
<RadioNew
id="large"
label="Large"
value="lg"
/>
</RadioGroup>You can also customize the RadioNew component by leveraging the default slot of the RadioGroup component. This allows you to compose the RadioNew component with other components.
<RadioGroup variant="radio" label="Priority">
<Card>
<template #top-left>
<RadioNew id="low" label="Low. This option designates tasks or items with a lower level of urgency or criticality, providing a more relaxed timeline for completion." value="low" />
</template>
</Card>
<Card>
<template #top-left>
<RadioNew id="high" label="High. This choice signifies a commitment to addressing tasks or items with heightened urgency or critical importance promptly." value="high" />
</template>
</Card>
</RadioGroup>Button
WARNING
To avoid layout bugs when the button group is wider than the parent container, the button variant will always switch to use the vertical orientation. The only exception is if the fullWidth prop is also used. See the example below on how you can set this up yourself.
Resize this window to see how the below example reacts.
<RadioGroup variant="button" label="Preferred operating system">
<RadioNew
id="linux"
label="Linux"
value="linux"
/>
<RadioNew
id="macos"
label="MacOS"
value="macos"
/>
<RadioNew
id="windows"
label="Windows"
value="windows"
/>
</RadioGroup>Chip
<RadioGroup variant="chip" label="Availability">
<RadioNew
id="monday"
label="Monday"
value="monday"
/>
<RadioNew
id="tuesday"
label="Tuesday"
value="tuesday"
/>
<RadioNew
id="wednesday"
label="Wednesday"
value="wednesday"
/>
<RadioNew
id="thursday"
label="Thursday"
value="thursday"
/>
<RadioNew
id="friday"
label="Friday"
value="friday"
/>
</RadioGroup>Tile
<RadioGroup variant="tile" label="Delivery method">
<RadioNew
id="standard"
label="Standard"
value="standard"
>
<p>5 - 10 business days</p>
<p>$10.00</p>
</RadioNew>
<RadioNew
id="express"
label="Express"
value="express"
>
<p>3 - 5 business days</p>
<p>$25.00</p>
</RadioNew>
</RadioGroup>Hint text and error states
You can provide hint text for a RadioGroup by using its hint-text prop.
<RadioGroup
v-model="hintText"
label="Should I buy Ice Cream?"
name="icecream-hint"
hint-text="You know you want to."
>
<RadioNew id="yes" label="Yes" value="yes" />
<RadioNew id="no" label="No" value="no" />
</RadioGroup>If you provide error-text, the RadioGroup will display an error state, which overrides the hint text.
<RadioGroup
v-model="errorText"
label="Vanilla or Chocolate?"
name="icecream-error"
:error-text="!errorText ? 'You have to select one.' : undefined"
hint-text="You know you want to."
>
<RadioNew id="Vanilla" label="Vanilla" value="Vanilla" />
<RadioNew id="Chocolate" label="Chocolate" value="Chocolate" />
</RadioGroup>
<div>
<Button @click="errorText = undefined">Reset</Button>
</div>You can also leverage the <Field> component to add individual hint-text and/or error states to each radio element.
<script setup>
import Field from '../../../src/components/Field/Field.vue';
import RadioGroup from '../../../src/components/RadioGroup/RadioGroup.vue';
import RadioNew from '../../../src/components/RadioNew/RadioNew.vue';
</script>
<template>
<RadioGroup label="Vanilla or Chocolate?" name="icecream-individual-hint">
<Field>
<template #hint>
<span class="tw-ml-8">Delicious classic flavor</span>
</template>
Orientation
The radio group can be displayed either horizontally or vertically using the orientation prop. The button variant will default to vertical if the group is wider than it's parent container to avoid layout issues, ignoring any explicitly passed values.

</template>Responsive full width button groups
At this time we are not able to provide responsive full width button groups due to their dynamic nature. It is up to the developer to control the orientation based on the window width, and how their button group interacts with the surrounding layout.
Resize the example below to see it in action.
<script setup lang="ts">
import { onMounted, onUnmounted, ref } from 'vue';
import RadioGroup, { RadioGroupProps } from '../../../src/components/RadioGroup/RadioGroup.vue';
import RadioNew from '../../../src/components/RadioNew/RadioNew.vue';
const resizeObserver = ref<ResizeObserver>();
const buttonGroupOrientation = ref<RadioGroupProps['orientation']>('horizontal');
onMounted(() => {
resizeObserver.value = new ResizeObserver(() => {
// Add in your own window widths here depending on your use case.
// Some designs might need to check multiple breakpoints.
buttonGroupOrientation.value = window.innerWidth < 650 ? 'vertical' : 'horizontal';
});
resizeObserver.value.observe(window.document.body);
});
onUnmounted(() => {
// always make sure to disconnect the observer!
if (resizeObserver.value) {
resizeObserver.value.disconnect();
}
});
</script>
<template>
<RadioGroup
full-width
variant="button"
label="Ice cream flavor"
name="responsive-full-width"
:orientation="buttonGroupOrientation"

<RadioNew id="Vanilla" label="Vanilla" value="Vanilla" />
<RadioNew id="Chocolate" label="Chocolate" value="Chocolate" />
<RadioNew id="Strawberry" label="Strawberry" value="Strawberry" />
<RadioNew id="Mint Chip" label="Mint Chip" value="Mint Chip" />
</RadioGroup>
</template>Disabled
You can indicate that a specific Radio option is disabled by setting its disabled prop.
<RadioGroup
variant="radio"
v-model="disabledRadios"
name="radio-variant"
class="tw-mb-3"
>
<RadioNew
v-for="option in ['one', 'two',]"
:id="option"
:label="option"
:value="option"
disabled
/>
