Accessibility
We have outlined the various features that ensure the Radio component is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. These features help ensure that your application is inclusive and meets accessibility standards. Adheres to the WAI-ARIA design pattern.
Keyboard
- Tab: Moves focus to the next focusable element.
- Shift + Tab: Moves focus to the previous focusable element.
- Space: To check or uncheck focused radio.
Screen Reader
- VoiceOver: When the radio is focused, the screen reader will announce it's a radio and it's current state (check or uncheck) and it's label.
Focus Management
- The onFocus and onBlur props manage focus states and provide visual cues to users. This is especially important for users who rely on keyboard navigation.
States
- In error state, aria-invalid will be passed to indicate that the radio input has an error, and providing support for an aria-errormessage to describe the error in more detail.
- In disabled state, aria-hidden will be passed to make radio input not focusable.
- In required state, aria-required will be passed to indicate that the radio input is required.
Props
Radio component is created using Pressable component from react-native. It extends all the props supported by React Native Pressable.
Data Attributes Table
Component receives states as props as boolean values, which are applied as data-* attributes. These attributes are then used to style the component via classNames, enabling state-based styling.
State | Data Attribute | Values |

hover | data-hover | true | false |
active | data-active | true | false |
disabled | data-disabled | true | false |
focusVisible | data-focus-visible | true | false |

Examples
The Examples section provides visual representations of the different variants of the component, allowing you to quickly and easily determine which one best fits your needs. Simply copy the code and integrate it into your project.
Multiple Radio
Radio buttons provide a mutually exclusive selection mechanism, allowing users to choose a single option from a set of related choices.
function App() {const [values, setValues] = React.useState("Eng")return (<RadioGroup value={values} onChange={setValues}><VStack space="sm"><Radio value="Eng"><RadioIndicator><RadioIcon as={CircleIcon} /></RadioIndicator><RadioLabel>English</RadioLabel></Radio><Radio value="Fre"><RadioIndicator><RadioIcon as={CircleIcon} /></RadioIndicator><RadioLabel>French</RadioLabel></Radio><Radio value="Ger"><RadioIndicator><RadioIcon as={CircleIcon} /></RadioIndicator><RadioLabel>German</RadioLabel></Radio></VStack></RadioGroup>)}
Horizontal
Radio buttons can be used horizontally.
function App() {const [values, setValues] = React.useState("Cash On Delivery")return (<RadioGroup value={values} onChange={setValues}><HStack space="2xl"><Radio value="Credit Card"><RadioIndicator><RadioIcon as={CircleIcon} /></RadioIndicator><RadioLabel>Credit Card</RadioLabel></Radio><Radio value="Cash On Delivery"><RadioIndicator><RadioIcon as={CircleIcon} /></RadioIndicator><RadioLabel>Cash On Delivery</RadioLabel></Radio></HStack></RadioGroup>)}
With help text
Radio buttons can be used with helper text.
function App() {const [values, setValues] = React.useState("Read-only")return (<RadioGroup value={values} onChange={setValues}><VStack space="2xl"><Box><Radio value="Read-only" size="md"><RadioIndicator><RadioIcon as={CircleIcon} /></RadioIndicator><RadioLabel>Extended coverage</RadioLabel></Radio><Text size="$sm" className="ml-7 text-typography-500">Extra services included</Text></Box><Box><Radio value="Write" size="md"><RadioIndicator><RadioIcon as={CircleIcon} /></RadioIndicator><RadioLabel>Basic coverage</RadioLabel></Radio><Text size="$sm" className="ml-7 text-typography-500">Nothing extra included</Text></Box></VStack></RadioGroup>)}
Form Control
Radio buttons can be used inside FormControl for better control of states and functionality.
<FormControl><VStack space="md"><Heading size="sm">Which time slot works best for you?</Heading><RadioGroup><VStack space="sm"><Radio value="Monday" size="md"><RadioIndicator><RadioIcon as={CircleIcon} /></RadioIndicator><RadioLabel>Monday</RadioLabel></Radio><Radio value="Tuesday" size="md"><RadioIndicator><RadioIcon as={CircleIcon} /></RadioIndicator><RadioLabel>Tuesday</RadioLabel></Radio><Radio value="Wednesday" size="md"><RadioIndicator><RadioIcon as={CircleIcon} /></RadioIndicator><RadioLabel>Wednesday</RadioLabel></Radio></VStack></RadioGroup><Text className="text-sm text-light-500">Choose a time slot for the meeting</Text></VStack></FormControl>
Label left
Radio buttons can be used horizontally
function App() {const [values, setValues] = React.useState("Monday")return (<RadioGroup value={values} onChange={setValues}><VStack space="lg" className="w-40"><Radio value="Monday" className="justify-between"><RadioLabel>Jane Cooper</RadioLabel><RadioIndicator><RadioIcon as={CircleIcon} /></RadioIndicator></Radio><Radio value="Tuesday" className="justify-between"><RadioLabel>Wade Warren</RadioLabel><RadioIndicator><RadioIcon as={CircleIcon} /></RadioIndicator></Radio></VStack></RadioGroup>)}
Controlled
The Radio components can be used with a controlled state, enabling precise management of the selected option through external state management.
function App() {const [values, setValues] = React.useState("Apartments")return (<RadioGroup value={values} onChange={setValues}><VStack space="md"><Radio value="Apartments"><RadioIndicator><RadioIcon as={CircleIcon} /></RadioIndicator><RadioLabel>Apartments</RadioLabel></Radio><Radio value="Houses"><RadioIndicator><RadioIcon as={CircleIcon} /></RadioIndicator><RadioLabel>Houses</RadioLabel></Radio></VStack></RadioGroup>)}
Uncontrolled
The Radio components can be used with either a ref or no state, providing an uncontrolled state where the selected option is managed internally.
function App() {const radioRef = React.useRef(null)const handleRadioChange = (e) => {e.preventDefault()const checkboxValue = radioRef.current.checked}return (<RadioGroup><VStack space="md"><Radio value="Hotels" ref={radioRef} onChange={handleRadioChange}><RadioIndicator><RadioIcon as={CircleIcon} /></RadioIndicator><RadioLabel>Hotels</RadioLabel></Radio><Radiovalue="Living quarters"ref={radioRef}onChange={handleRadioChange}><RadioIndicator><RadioIcon as={CircleIcon} /></RadioIndicator><RadioLabel>Living quarters</RadioLabel></Radio></VStack></RadioGroup>)}
Radio group
The Radio group component allows users to group radio and display them in a horizontal or vertical row for better visual representation and functionality.
function RadioGroupExample() {const [values, setValues] = React.useState("1st")return (<RadioGroup value={values} onChange={setValues}><VStack space="sm"><Radio value="1st"><RadioIndicator><RadioIcon as={CircleIcon} /></RadioIndicator><RadioLabel>Label 1</RadioLabel></Radio><Radio value="2nd"><RadioIndicator><RadioIcon as={CircleIcon} /></RadioIndicator><RadioLabel>Label 2</RadioLabel></Radio><Radio value="3rd"><RadioIndicator><RadioIcon as={CircleIcon} /></RadioIndicator><RadioLabel>Label 3</RadioLabel></Radio></VStack></RadioGroup>)}
