Radio Group

Basic example

Radio Groups are built using a combination of the RadioGroup, RadioGroupOption, RadioGroupLabel, and RadioGroupDescription components:

<script>
  import {
    RadioGroup,
    RadioGroupLabel,
    RadioGroupOption,
    RadioGroupDescription,
  } from "@rgossiaux/svelte-headlessui";

  let plan = "startup";
</script>

<RadioGroup value={plan} on:change={(e) => (plan = e.detail)}>
  <RadioGroupLabel>Plan</RadioGroupLabel>
  <RadioGroupOption value="startup" let:checked>
    <span class:checked>Startup</span>
  </RadioGroupOption>
  <RadioGroupOption value="business" let:checked>
    <span class:checked>Business</span>
  </RadioGroupOption>
  <RadioGroupOption value="enterprise" let:checked>
    <span class:checked>Enterprise</span>
  </RadioGroupOption>
</RadioGroup>

<style>
  .checked {
    /* Your styles here */
  }
</style>

Styling

See here for some general notes on styling the components in this library.

Checked option

To style the selected RadioGroupOption, you can use the checked slot prop that it provides, which tells you whether or not that option is the currently selected one. You can use this state to conditionally apply whatever styles you wish.

<script>
  import {
    RadioGroup,
    RadioGroupLabel,
    RadioGroupOption,
  } from "@rgossiaux/svelte-headlessui";

  let plan = "startup";
</script>

<RadioGroup value={plan} on:change={(e) => (plan = e.detail)}>
  <RadioGroupLabel>Plan</RadioGroupLabel>
  <!-- Use the `checked` slot prop to conditionally style the checked item -->
  <RadioGroupOption value="startup" let:checked>
    <span class:checked>Startup</span>
  </RadioGroupOption>
  <!-- ... -->
</RadioGroup>

<style>
  .checked {
    /* Your styles here */
  }
</style>

Active options

RadioGroupOptions can also be in an active state if they are focused with either the mouse or the keyboard. It’s a good idea to add styles specifically for this state.

<script>
  import {
    RadioGroup,
    RadioGroupLabel,
    RadioGroupOption,
  } from "@rgossiaux/svelte-headlessui";

  let plan = "startup";
</script>

<RadioGroup value={plan} on:change={(e) => (plan = e.detail)}>
  <RadioGroupLabel>Plan</RadioGroupLabel>
  <!-- Use both `active` and `checked` slot props
        to differentiate between the active and checked states -->
  <RadioGroupOption value="startup" let:active let:checked>
    <span class:active class:checked>Startup</span>
  </RadioGroupOption>
  <!-- ... -->
</RadioGroup>

<style>
  .active {
    /* Your styles here */
  }

  .checked {
    /* Your styles here */
  }
</style>

Using the Label and Description components

You can use the RadioGroupLabel and RadioGroupDescription components to label and describe each RadioGroupOption, as well as the RadioGroup itself. These components will automatically link with their relevant ancestor components via the aria-labelledby and aria-describedby attributes, improving the semantics and accessibility of your component.

By default, RadioGroupLabel renders a <label> element and RadioGroupDescription renders a <p>. These can be customized using the as prop, as described in the API docs below.

<script>
  import {
    RadioGroup,
    RadioGroupLabel,
    RadioGroupOption,
    RadioGroupDescription,
  } from "@rgossiaux/svelte-headlessui";

  let plan = "startup";
</script>

<RadioGroup value={plan} on:change={(e) => plan = e.detail}>
  <!-- This Label is for the `RadioGroup` -->
  <RadioGroupLabel>Plan</RadioGroupLabel>

  <RadioGroupOption value="startup" let:checked>
    <RadioGroupLabel as="span" class:checked>Startup</span>
    <RadioGroupDescription as="span" class:checked>
      Up to 5 active job postings
    </RadioGroupDescription>
  </RadioGroupOption>
  <!-- ... -->
</RadioGroup>

<style>
  /* WARNING: This is just for demonstration.
      Using :global() in this way can be risky. */
  :global(.checked) {
    /* Your styles here */
  }
</style>

Accessibility notes

Mouse interaction

Clicking a RadioGroupOption will select it.

Keyboard interaction

Other

All relevant ARIA attributes are automatically managed.

Component API

RadioGroup

The main Radio Group component.

This component also dispatches a custom event, which is listened to using the Svelte on: directive:

RadioGroupOption

The wrapper component for each selectable option.

RadioGroupLabel

Renders an element that is linked to its nearest RadioGroup or RadioGroupOption ancestor component via the aria-labelledby attribute and an autogenerated id.

If the RadioGroupLabel is labeling a RadioGroupOption (instead of the RadioGroup), it will also have these slot props available:

RadioGroupDescription

Renders an element that is linked to its nearest RadioGroup or RadioGroupOption ancestor component via the aria-describedby attribute and an autogenerated id.

If the RadioGroupDescription is describing a RadioGroupOption (instead of the RadioGroup), it will also have these slot props available:
