Usage​

Mutually Exclusive Radios (Only One Can Be Selected)​

This example shows how to use the Radio component for mutually exclusive choices. Assign the same name prop to each Radio in a group to ensure only one can be selected at a time. Use within a Control for proper Bulma styling.

Live Editor
<Control>
  <Radio name="mutuallyExclusive"> Yes </Radio>
  <Radio name="mutuallyExclusive"> No </Radio>
  <Radio name="mutuallyExclusive"> Maybe </Radio>
</Control>

Default Selected Radio​

Set the defaultChecked prop on a Radio to make it selected by default. This is useful for pre-selecting a common or recommended option in a group.

Live Editor
<Control>
  <Radio name="pet"> Cat </Radio>
  <Radio name="pet" defaultChecked>
    {' '}
    Dog{' '}
  </Radio>
</Control>

Disabled Radios​

Use the disabled prop to render radios that cannot be selected. This is helpful for indicating unavailable options in a group.

Live Editor
<Control>
  <Radio name="response" disabled>
    {' '}
    Attend{' '}
  </Radio>
  <Radio name="response" disabled>
    {' '}
    Decline{' '}
  </Radio>
  <Radio name="response" disabled>
    {' '}
    Tentative{' '}
  </Radio>
</Control>

List of Radios (Grouped with the Radios Wrapper)​

Render a list of radios using the Radios wrapper component. This is useful for grouping related radio buttons together, especially when they share the same name prop. In this example, all radios are disabled.

Live Editor
<Radios>
  <Radio name="event" disabled>
    {' '}
    Attend{' '}
  </Radio>
  <Radio name="event" disabled>
    {' '}
    Decline{' '}
  </Radio>
  <Radio name="event" disabled>
    {' '}
    Tentative{' '}
  </Radio>
</Radios>

Accessibility​

  • Each Radio is rendered as a <label> wrapping an <input type="radio"> and the label text, for optimal accessibility.
  • Use the same name prop for a group of radios to ensure only one can be selected.
