Tailwind CSS Radio Button - React

Our Tailwind CSS radio button component will let your users choose only one of a predefined set of mutually exclusive options. Radio buttons should be used instead of checkboxes if only one item can be selected from a list.

Use the following example to create simple Radio buttons for your projects.


import { Radio } from "@material-tailwind/react";
 
export function RadioDefault() {
  return (
    <div className="flex gap-10">
      <Radio name="type" label="HTML" />
      <Radio name="type" label="React" defaultChecked />
    </div>
  );
}

Radio Button Colors

The Radio component comes with 19 different colors that you can change it using the color prop.

import { Radio } from "@material-tailwind/react";
 
export function RadioColors() {
  return (
    <div className="flex w-max gap-4">
      <Radio name="color" />
      <Radio name="color" color="gray" defaultChecked />
      <Radio name="color" color="blue" />
      <Radio name="color" color="green" />
      <Radio name="color" color="red" />
      <Radio name="color" color="amber" />
      <Radio name="color" disabled color="purple" />
    </div>
  );
}

Radio Button Custom Icon

You can add a custom icon for the Radio button component when it's checked by passing the icon prop to the Radio button component.

import { Radio } from "@material-tailwind/react";
 
export function RadioCustomIcon() {
  return (
    <>
      <Radio
        name="type"
        label="React"
        icon={
          <svg
            xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
            className="h-3 w-3"
            viewBox="0 0 20 20"
            fill="currentColor"
          >
            <path
              fillRule="evenodd"
              d="M3.172 5.172a4 4 0 015.656 0L10 6.343l1.172-1.171a4 4 0 115.656 5.656L10 17.657l-6.828-6.829a4 4 0 010-5.656z"
              clipRule="evenodd"
            />
          </svg>
        }
      />
      <Radio
        name="type"
        label="React"
        icon={
          <svg
            xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
            className="h-3 w-3"
            viewBox="0 0 20 20"
            fill="currentColor"
          >
            <path
              fillRule="evenodd"

      <Radio name="type" label="Ripple Effect On" ripple={true} />
      <Radio name="type" label="Ripple Effect Off" ripple={false} />
    </div>
  );
}

Radio Button Disabled

import { Radio } from "@material-tailwind/react";
 
export function RadioDisabled() {
  return (
    <div className="flex gap-10">
      <Radio name="type" label="HTML" disabled />
      <Radio name="type" label="React" disabled defaultChecked />
    </div>
  );
}

  return (
   <div className="flex flex-col gap-2">
