RadioButtons allow users to select one option from a collective set.

Usage

RadioButtons should be used when there are less than 7 options to choose from. If you require more than 7 options, consider using a Select Field instead. The RadioButton component allows for standard Form Field structures such as being set required, disabled, or readOnly, as well as including a label, status, or info.

If there is a label and the Field is not disabled, passing an object to the additionalInfo prop that includes a heading and content will provide the user with more useful information on the Field when they click on the associated information Icon.

Use a single RadioButton for binary selections, such as a yes or no. A user may only select a RadioButton once. Do not use the RadioButton when a user MUST make a passive decision, such as an affirmation (use Checkbox) or if you are expecting the changes to apply instantly (use a Switch).

Example

RadioButtonGroup

The most common usage of a RadioButton is within a RadioButtonGroup. If there are multiple options to select, wrap the RadioButtons in a RadioButtonGroup so that all the options will belong to the same Form value.

Example

What do you want to eat?

RadioButton cards

A RadioButton can be set to render as a Card which can be ideal to display large volumes of content within a single wrapper. You can set variant to card on either a RadioButton or a RadioButtonGroup.
