RadioGroup

Installation

npm install @morphos/inputs

pnpm add @morphos/inputs

yarn add @morphos/inputs

bun add @morphos/inputs

Import

import { RadioGroup, Radio } from '@morphos/inputs'

Compound components

Component	Description
`RadioGroup`	Root container that manages selection state and renders `role="radiogroup"`
`Radio`	Individual radio option within the group

Usage

@Component()
class MyComponent extends StatefulComponent {
  @State() group = new RadioGroup({ defaultValue: 'monthly', orientation: 'vertical' })

  render() {
    return (
      <fieldset>
        <legend>Billing cycle</legend>
        <RadioGroup class="morphos-radio-group" orientation="vertical" aria-label="Billing cycle">
          <Radio group={this.group} value="monthly" class="morphos-radio">Monthly</Radio>
          <Radio group={this.group} value="quarterly" class="morphos-radio">Quarterly</Radio>
          <Radio group={this.group} value="annually" class="morphos-radio">Annually</Radio>
        </RadioGroup>
      </fieldset>
    )
  }
}

Each Radio reads selection state from the group prop and calls group.select(value) on change — it must be given the same RadioGroup instance backing the rendered <RadioGroup> root so the two stay in sync.

Controlled

@Component()
class MyComponent extends StatefulComponent {
  @State() group = new RadioGroup({ orientation: 'vertical' })

  applyTheme(theme: string) {
    document.documentElement.dataset.theme = theme
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <fieldset>
        <legend>Theme</legend>
        <RadioGroup
          class="morphos-radio-group"
          value={() => this.group.selectedValue}
          orientation="vertical"
          onValueChange={(value) => this.applyTheme(value)}
        >
          <Radio group={this.group} value="light" class="morphos-radio">Light</Radio>
          <Radio group={this.group} value="dark" class="morphos-radio">Dark</Radio>
          <Radio group={this.group} value="system" class="morphos-radio">System</Radio>
        </RadioGroup>
      </fieldset>
    )
  }
}

Horizontal layout

@Component()
class MyComponent extends StatefulComponent {
  @State() group = new RadioGroup({ defaultValue: 's', orientation: 'horizontal' })

  render() {
    return (
      <fieldset>
        <legend>Size</legend>
        <RadioGroup class="morphos-radio-group" orientation="horizontal" aria-label="Size">
          <Radio group={this.group} value="s" class="morphos-radio">S</Radio>
          <Radio group={this.group} value="m" class="morphos-radio">M</Radio>
          <Radio group={this.group} value="l" class="morphos-radio">L</Radio>
          <Radio group={this.group} value="xl" class="morphos-radio">XL</Radio>
        </RadioGroup>
      </fieldset>
    )
  }
}

Props — Radio

Prop	Type	Default	Description
`group`	`RadioGroup`	—	The parent `RadioGroup` instance (required)
`value`	`string`	—	The value this radio represents (required)
`disabled`	`boolean`	—	Overrides the group's `disabled` for this radio only
`children`	`Children`	—	Label content rendered beside the input, inside the same `<label>`
`class`	`string`	—	Additional CSS classes on the `<label>`
`id`	`string`	—	HTML id attribute on the `<label>`
`aria-label`	`string`	—	Accessible label for this individual radio's `<input>`
`aria-labelledby`	`string`	—	ID of an element that labels this individual radio's `<input>`

`data-*` attributes

Attribute	Element	When present
`data-disabled`	Group root	`disabled` is `true`
`data-orientation`	Group root	Always — value is `"vertical"` or `"horizontal"`
`data-checked`	Radio `<label>`	This radio's value matches the group's selected value
`data-disabled`	Radio `<label>`	Group's `disabled` or this radio's own `disabled` is `true`

Accessibility

RadioGroup renders a <div role="radiogroup"> with aria-orientation, aria-required, and aria-disabled. Each Radio renders a native <input type="radio"> wrapped in a <label>; all radios sharing the same group reuse the name from RadioGroup.name. Wrap the group in a <fieldset> with a <legend> to provide context to assistive technologies — RadioGroup does not render its own <fieldset>.

RadioGroup and Radio do not implement roving-tabindex or arrow-key navigation — each radio input is independently focusable via Tab, and selection changes with the native change event on click. If you need custom keyboard navigation between options, wire it up yourself.

Styling example

.morphos-radio-group[data-orientation="horizontal"] {
  flex-direction: row;
  gap: var(--morphos-space-4);
}

.morphos-radio[data-checked] input[type="radio"] {
  border-color: var(--morphos-color-accent);
}

.morphos-radio[data-disabled] {
  opacity: 0.5;
  cursor: not-allowed;
}
