# Radio Group

A high-quality, unstyled Solid radio group component that provides shared state to a series of radio buttons.

## Demo

### Tailwind

This example shows how to implement the component using Tailwind CSS.

```tsx
/* index.tsx */
import { createUniqueId } from 'solid-js';
import { Radio } from 'base-ui-solid/radio';
import { RadioGroup } from 'base-ui-solid/radio-group';

export default function ExampleRadioGroup() {
  const id = createUniqueId();
  return (
    <RadioGroup
      aria-labelledby={id}
      defaultValue="fuji-apple"
      class="flex flex-col items-start gap-1 text-neutral-950 dark:text-white"
    >
      <div class="text-sm font-bold" id={id}>
        Best apple
      </div>

      <label class="flex items-center gap-2 text-sm font-normal text-neutral-950 dark:text-white">
        <Radio.Root
          value="fuji-apple"
          class="flex size-4 shrink-0 items-center justify-center border rounded-full p-0 border-neutral-950 bg-white text-white dark:border-white dark:bg-neutral-950 dark:text-neutral-950 data-checked:bg-neutral-950 data-checked:text-white dark:data-checked:bg-white dark:data-checked:text-neutral-950 focus-visible:outline-2 focus-visible:outline-offset-2 focus-visible:outline-neutral-950 dark:focus-visible:outline-white"
        >
          <Radio.Indicator class="flex items-center justify-center data-unchecked:hidden before:size-2 before:rounded-full before:bg-current" />
        </Radio.Root>
        Fuji
      </label>

      <label class="flex items-center gap-2 text-sm font-normal text-neutral-950 dark:text-white">
        <Radio.Root

        </Radio.Root>
        Gala
      </label>

      <label class="flex items-center gap-2 text-sm font-normal text-neutral-950 dark:text-white">
        <Radio.Root
          value="granny-smith-apple"
          class="flex size-4 shrink-0 items-center justify-center border rounded-full p-0 border-neutral-950 bg-white text-white dark:border-white dark:bg-neutral-950 dark:text-neutral-950 data-checked:bg-neutral-950 data-checked:text-white dark:data-checked:bg-white dark:data-checked:text-neutral-950 focus-visible:outline-2 focus-visible:outline-offset-2 focus-visible:outline-neutral-950 dark:focus-visible:outline-white"
        >
          <Radio.Indicator class="flex items-center justify-center data-unchecked:hidden before:size-2 before:rounded-full before:bg-current" />
        </Radio.Root>
        Granny Smith
      </label>
    </RadioGroup>
  );
}
```

### CSS Modules

This example shows how to implement the component using CSS Modules.

```css
/* index.module.css */
.RadioGroup {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: start;
  gap: 0.25rem;
  color: oklch(14.5% 0 0deg);

  @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
    color: white;
  }
}

.Caption {
  font-size: 0.875rem;
  line-height: 1.25rem;
  font-weight: 700;
}

.Item {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  gap: 0.5rem;
  font-size: 0.875rem;
  line-height: 1.25rem;
  font-weight: 400;
}

.Radio {
  box-sizing: border-box;
  display: flex;
  flex-shrink: 0;
  width: 1rem;
  height: 1rem;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  border: 1px solid oklch(14.5% 0 0deg);
  border-radius: 100%;
  background-color: white;
  color: white;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;

  @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
    border: 1px solid white;
    background-color: oklch(14.5% 0 0deg);
    color: oklch(14.5% 0 0deg);
  }

  &[data-checked] {
    background-color: oklch(14.5% 0 0deg);
    color: white;

    @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
      background-color: white;
      color: oklch(14.5% 0 0deg);
    }
  }

  &:focus-visible {
    outline: 2px solid oklch(14.5% 0 0deg);
    outline-offset: 2px;

    @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
      outline-color: white;
    }
  }
}

.Indicator {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;

  &[data-unchecked] {
    display: none;
  }

  &::before {
    content: '';
    border-radius: 100%;
    width: 0.5rem;
    height: 0.5rem;
    background-color: currentcolor;
  }
}
```

```tsx
/* index.tsx */
import { createUniqueId } from 'solid-js';
import { Radio } from 'base-ui-solid/radio';
import { RadioGroup } from 'base-ui-solid/radio-group';
import styles from './index.module.css';

export default function ExampleRadioGroup() {
  const id = createUniqueId();
  return (
    <RadioGroup aria-labelledby={id} defaultValue="fuji-apple" class={styles.RadioGroup}>
      <div class={styles.Caption} id={id}>
        Best apple
      </div>

      <label class={styles.Item}>
        <Radio.Root value="fuji-apple" class={styles.Radio}>
          <Radio.Indicator class={styles.Indicator} />
        </Radio.Root>
        Fuji
      </label>

      <label class={styles.Item}>
        <Radio.Root value="gala-apple" class={styles.Radio}>
          <Radio.Indicator class={styles.Indicator} />
        </Radio.Root>
        Gala
      </label>

      <label class={styles.Item}>
        <Radio.Root value="granny-smith-apple" class={styles.Radio}>
          <Radio.Indicator class={styles.Indicator} />
        </Radio.Root>
        Granny Smith
      </label>
    </RadioGroup>
  );
}
```

## Usage guidelines

- **Form controls must have an accessible name**: It can be created using `<label>` elements, or the `Field` and `Fieldset` components. See [Labeling a radio group](#labeling-a-radio-group) and the [forms guide](/solid/handbook/forms.md).

## Anatomy

Import the component and assemble its parts:

```jsx title="Anatomy"
import { Radio } from 'base-ui-solid/radio';
import { RadioGroup } from 'base-ui-solid/radio-group';

<RadioGroup>
  <Radio.Root>
    <Radio.Indicator />
  </Radio.Root>
</RadioGroup>;
```

## Examples

### Labeling a radio group

Label the group with `aria-labelledby` and a sibling label element:

```tsx title="Using aria-labelledby to label a radio group"
<div id="storage-type-label">Storage type</div>
<RadioGroup aria-labelledby="storage-type-label">{/* ... */}</RadioGroup>
```

An enclosing `<label>` is the simplest labeling pattern for each radio:

```tsx title="Using an enclosing label to label a radio button"
// @highlight
<label>
  <Radio.Root value="ssd" />
  SSD
  {/* @highlight */}
</label>
```

### Rendering as a native button

By default, `<Radio.Root>` renders a `<span>` element to support enclosing labels. Prefer rendering each radio as a native button when using sibling labels (`for`/`id`).

```tsx title="Sibling label pattern with a native button"
<div id="storage-type">Storage type</div>
<RadioGroup defaultValue="ssd" aria-labelledby="storage-type">
  <div>
    <label for="storage-type-ssd">SSD</label>
    {/* @highlight-text "nativeButton" 'render="button"' */}
    <Radio.Root value="ssd" id="storage-type-ssd" nativeButton render="button">
      <Radio.Indicator />
    </Radio.Root>
  </div>
</RadioGroup>
```

Native buttons with wrapping labels are supported by using the `render` callback to avoid invalid HTML, so the hidden input is placed outside the label:

```tsx title="Render callback"
<div id="storage-type">Storage type</div>
<RadioGroup defaultValue="ssd" aria-labelledby="storage-type">
  <Radio.Root
    value="ssd"
    nativeButton
    // @highlight-start
    render={(buttonProps) => (
      <label>
        <button {...buttonProps} />
        SSD
      </label>
    )}
    {/* @highlight-end */}
  />
</RadioGroup>
```

### Form integration

Use [Field](/solid/components/field.md) and [Fieldset](/solid/components/fieldset.md) for group labeling and form integration:

```tsx title="Using Radio Group in a form"
<Form>
  {/* @highlight */}
  <Field.Root name="storageType">
    <Fieldset.Root render={(props) => <RadioGroup {...props} />}>
      <Fieldset.Legend>Storage type</Fieldset.Legend>
      <Field.Item>
        <Field.Label>
          <Radio.Root value="ssd" />
          SSD
        </Field.Label>
      </Field.Item>
      <Field.Item>
        <Field.Label>
          <Radio.Root value="hdd" />
          HDD
        </Field.Label>
      </Field.Item>
    </Fieldset.Root>
  </Field.Root>
</Form>
```
