# RadioGroup

Radio is a control component that allows users to select one option from a set.

## Import

```tsx
import { RadioGroup } from '@coinbase/cds-web/controls/RadioGroup'
```

## Examples

### Deprecation Notice

:::danger Deprecated Component

**RadioGroup is deprecated and will be removed in a future version.**

Use **[ControlGroup](/components/inputs/ControlGroup)** with `role="radiogroup"` instead for better accessibility, consistency, and maintainability.

:::

:::caution Types

RadioGroup onChange fails without a string type declaration for setGroup fns.

```
const [group, setGroup] = useState<string>();
```

:::

### Migration Guide

#### ✅ Recommended: Using ControlGroup

The new recommended approach provides better accessibility, cleaner API, and consistent behavior across the design system.

```jsx live
function RecommendedRadioGroup() {
  const options = [
    { value: 'btc', children: 'Bitcoin' },
    { value: 'eth', children: 'Ethereum' },
    { value: 'ltc', children: 'Litecoin' },
  ];

  const [selectedCurrency, setSelectedCurrency] = useState('btc');

  return (
    <VStack gap={2}>
      <ControlGroup
        role="radiogroup"
        ControlComponent={Radio}
        label="Choose a Currency"
        options={options}
        value={selectedCurrency}
        onChange={(e) => setSelectedCurrency(e.target.value)}
        name="recommended-radio-group"
      />
      <Text font="caption" color="fgMuted">
        Selected: {selectedCurrency}
      </Text>
    </VStack>
  );
}
```

#### Migration Steps

1. **Replace RadioGroup with [ControlGroup](/components/inputs/ControlGroup)**:

   ```jsx
   // Old (deprecated)
   <RadioGroup
     value={selectedValue}
     onChange={onChange}
     options={{ btc: 'Bitcoin', eth: 'Ethereum' }}
   />

   // New (recommended)
   <ControlGroup
     role="radiogroup"
     ControlComponent={Radio}
     options={[
       { value: 'btc', children: 'Bitcoin' },
       { value: 'eth', children: 'Ethereum' }
     ]}
     value={selectedValue}
     onChange={onChange}
   />
   ```

2. **Update options format**:

   ```jsx
   // Old: Object format
   const options = { btc: 'Bitcoin', eth: 'Ethereum' };

   // New: Array format
   const options = [
     { value: 'btc', children: 'Bitcoin' },
     { value: 'eth', children: 'Ethereum' },
   ];
   ```

3. **Update onChange handler**:

   ```jsx
   // Old: Direct value callback
   const oldOnChange = (value) => setSelected(value);

   // New: Event-based handler
   const newOnChange = (e) => setSelected(e.target.value);
   ```

4. **Add proper role**:
   ```jsx
   // Always include role="radiogroup" for accessibility
   <ControlGroup
     role="radiogroup"
     ControlComponent={Radio}
     // ... other props
   />
   ```

### Legacy Usage (Deprecated)

:::warning Legacy Example

The following examples show the **deprecated** RadioGroup usage. **Do not use this in new code.** Use [ControlGroup](/components/inputs/ControlGroup) instead.

:::

#### Basic RadioGroup (Legacy)

```jsx live
function LegacyRadioGroupDemo() {
  // static values should live outside the component in product code.
  const options = {
    btc: 'Bitcoin',
    eth: 'Ethereum',
    dai: 'Dai',
  };

  const [group, setGroup] = useState('btc');

  return (
    <VStack gap={2}>
      <Text font="headline">Currency Selection (Legacy RadioGroup)</Text>
      <RadioGroup
        aria-labelledby="choose-a-currency"
        id="currency-radio-group"
        label={
          <Text as="span" font="headline" id="choose-a-currency">
            Choose a currency
          </Text>
        }
        name="radio-group1"
        value={group}
        onChange={setGroup}
        options={options}
      />
      <Text font="caption" color="fgMuted">
        Selected: {group}
      </Text>
    </VStack>
  );
}
```

#### With Custom Label (Legacy)

```jsx live
function LegacyRadioGroupWithLabel() {
  const options = {
    'yellow-jacket': 'Yellow Jacket',
    bruin: 'Bruin',
    bronco: 'Bronco',
  };

  const [mascot, setMascot] = useState('bruin');

  return (
    <RadioGroup
      aria-labelledby="choose-a-mascot"
      id="mascot-radio-group"
      label={
        <Text as="span" font="headline" id="choose-a-mascot">
          Choose a mascot
        </Text>
      }
      name="radio-group2"
      value={mascot}
      onChange={setMascot}
      options={options}
    />
  );
}
```

#### Color Customization (Legacy)

Like other control components (i.e. Checkbox, Switch), you can customize the color of the Radio by setting the `controlColor` prop.

```jsx live
function CustomColors() {
  // static values should live outside the component in product code.
  const options = {
    btc: 'Bitcoin',
    eth: 'Ethereum',
    dai: 'Dai',
  };

  const [checked, setChecked] = useState(false);
  const [group, setGroup] = useState();

  return (
    <VStack>
      <Radio
        controlColor="accentBoldGreen"
        onChange={() => setChecked((s) => !s)}
        checked={checked}
      >
        Custom control color
      </Radio>
      <Divider paddingY={2} />
      <RadioGroup
        id="mascot-radio-group"
        aria-labelledby="choose-a-mascot"
        name="radio-group2"
        controlColor="accentBoldGreen"
        value={group}
        onChange={setGroup}
        options={options}
      />
    </VStack>
  );
}
```

For more advanced color customization, you can use additional style props on individual Radio components like `background`, `borderColor`, and `color`:

```jsx live
function AdvancedCustomColors() {
  const [checked, setChecked] = useState(false);

  return (
    <VStack gap={2}>
      <Radio checked={checked} controlColor="bgPositive" onChange={() => setChecked((s) => !s)}>
        Control color prop
      </Radio>
      <Radio
        background={checked ? 'accentBoldPurple' : 'bg'}
        borderColor={checked ? 'bgNegative' : 'bgWarning'}
        checked={checked}
        color="bgPrimary"
        controlColor="bgPositive"
        onChange={() => setChecked((s) => !s)}
      >
        Advanced styling
      </Radio>
    </VStack>
  );
}
```
