Configurable properties​

  • Field label: Label displayed above the radio component.
  • Field description: Description provided below the radio component.
  • Key: Binds the radio component to a form variable, see data binding docs.
  • Default value: Provides a default selection in case no input data exists for the given key. Only available for static options sources.
  • Disabled: Disables the radio component, for use during development.
  • Options source: Radio components can be configured with an options source defining the individual choices the component provides, see options source docs.
  • Hide if: Expression to hide the radio.
  • Columns: Space the field will use inside its row. Auto means it will automatically adjust to available space in the row. Read more about the underlying grid layout in the Carbon Grid documentation.
  • Validation: Given that one of the following properties is set, the form will only submit when the respective condition is fulfilled. Otherwise, a validation error will be displayed.
    • Required: One radio option must be selected.

Datatypes​

Radio components can be bound to any data, but we recommend working with strings. The component will correlate the data value with the appropriate option defined in the options source. If no option is found, the data will simply be ignored.
