Radio Group

<pc-radio-group>

0.3.0

Experimental

Radio groups are used to group multiple radios so they function as a single form control.

<pc-radio-group label="Select an option" name="group-1" value="option-1">
    <pc-radio value="option-1">Option 1</pc-radio>
    <pc-radio value="option-2">Option 2</pc-radio>
    <pc-radio value="option-3">Option 3</pc-radio>
</pc-radio-group>

Hints

Add a descriptive hint to a radio group with the hint attribute. For hints that contain HTML, use the hint slot instead.

<pc-radio-group
    label="Select an option"
    hint="Select an option that makes you proud."
    name="group-1"
    value="option-1"
>
    <pc-radio value="option-1">Option 1</pc-radio>
    <pc-radio value="option-2">Option 2</pc-radio>
    <pc-radio value="option-3">Option 3</pc-radio>
</pc-radio-group>

Disabling radios

Radios can be disabled by adding the disabled attribute to the respective options inside the radio group.

<pc-radio-group label="Select an option" name="group-1" value="option-1">
    <pc-radio value="option-1">Option 1</pc-radio>
    <pc-radio value="option-2" disabled>Option 2</pc-radio>
    <pc-radio value="option-3">Option 3</pc-radio>
</pc-radio-group>

Size

The size of radios will be determined by the radio group’s size attribute.

<pc-radio-group
    class="radio-group-size"
    size="medium"
    label="Select an option"
    value="medium"
>
    <pc-radio value="small">Small</pc-radio>
    <pc-radio value="medium">Medium</pc-radio>
    <pc-radio value="large">Large</pc-radio>
</pc-radio-group>

<script>
    const radioGroup = document.querySelector(".radio-group-size");

    radioGroup.addEventListener("change", () => {
        radioGroup.size = radioGroup.value;
    });
</script>

Code

Edit

Radios also have a size attribute. This can be useful in certain situations, but it will be ignored when used inside of a radio group.

Horizontal

Set the orientation attribute to horizontal to make a horizontal radio group.

<pc-radio-group
    label="Select an option"
    name="group-1"
    value="option-1"
    orientation="horizontal"
>
    <pc-radio value="option-1">Option 1</pc-radio>
    <pc-radio value="option-2" disabled>Option 2</pc-radio>
    <pc-radio value="option-3">Option 3</pc-radio>
</pc-radio-group>

Code

Edit

Required

Set the required attribute to make selecting an option mandatory. If a value hasn’t been selected, it will prevent the form from submitting and display an error message.

<form class="radio-group-required">
    <pc-radio-group label="Select an option" name="group-1" required>
        <pc-radio value="option-1">Option 1</pc-radio>
        <pc-radio value="option-2">Option 2</pc-radio>
        <pc-radio value="option-3">Option 3</pc-radio>
    </pc-radio-group>
    <br />
    <pc-button appearance="primary" type="submit">Submit</pc-button>
    <pc-button appearance="neutral" type="reset">Reset</pc-button>
</form>

<script>
    const form = document.querySelector(".radio-group-required");

    form.addEventListener("submit", (event) => {
        event.preventDefault();
        alert("All fields are valid!");
    });
</script>

Custom validity

Use the setCustomValidity() method to set a custom validation message. This will prevent the form from submitting and make the browser display the error message you provide. If you want to restore the default validation message, pass an empty string to the setCustomValidity() method.

<form class="radio-group-custom-validity">
    <pc-radio-group label="Select an option" name="group-1" value="option-1">
        <pc-radio value="not-me">Not me</pc-radio>
        <pc-radio value="me-neither">Me neither</pc-radio>
        <pc-radio value="select-me">Select me</pc-radio>
    </pc-radio-group>
    <br />
    <pc-button appearance="primary" type="submit">Submit</pc-button>
</form>

<script>
    const form = document.querySelector(".radio-group-custom-validity");
    const radioGroup = form.querySelector("pc-radio-group");
    const errorMessage = "You must select the last option.";

    customElements.whenDefined("pc-radio").then(() => {
        radioGroup.setCustomValidity(errorMessage);
    });

    form.addEventListener("change", () => {
        const isValid = radioGroup.value === "select-me";
        radioGroup.setCustomValidity(isValid ? "" : errorMessage);
    });

    form.addEventListener("submit", (event) => {
        event.preventDefault();
        alert("All fields are valid!");
    });
</script>
