Also called: radio button, radio.

The radio group helps a person to make a choice by limiting their options.

Coding and accessibility for radio group

Apply required attributes

For the radio group to function properly, always use the following attributes with <gcds-radio-group>:

  • name
  • options

Use the options attribute with radio group

The options attribute takes an array of objects to render each radio button. The following is an example of one of the objects:

{
'id'!: '',
'label'!: '',
'value'!: '',
'required'?: '',
'disabled'?: '',
'checked'?: '',
'hint'?: '',
}
  • Within the options attribute, always use the object's id, label and value properties for each radio button. The rest of the properties are optional.
