Radio

Radio lets users pick a single option from a small, mutually exclusive set. The root owns the group state (value, defaultValue, onChange) and cascades visual props (size, position, invalid) to every item.

Usage

import { Radio } from '@takeoff-ui/react-spar';

<Radio>
  <Radio.Item value="...">
    <Radio.Indicator />
    <Radio.Label>
      Label
      {/* Optional helper text — compose any markup you want here */}
      <span>Helper text</span>
    </Radio.Label>
  </Radio.Item>
</Radio>

Sizes

function SizesDemo() {

Layout

Switch the group to orientation="horizontal" for inline choices, opt into spread to stretch items along the axis, or flip the indicator to the trailing edge with position="right". Per-item position overrides the group default.

function LayoutDemo() {
  return (
    <div className="grid gap-6">
      <Radio aria-label="Trip type" orientation="horizontal" spread defaultValue="round">
        <Radio.Item value="one">
          <Radio.Indicator />
          <Radio.Label>One-way</Radio.Label>
        </Radio.Item>
        <Radio.Item value="round">
          <Radio.Indicator />
          <Radio.Label>Round trip</Radio.Label>
        </Radio.Item>
        <Radio.Item value="multi">
          <Radio.Indicator />
          <Radio.Label>Multi-city</Radio.Label>

Item Render-Prop

Radio.Item accepts a function child that receives the per-item state from Spar (isChecked, disabled, isFocused, select), so each item can react to its own selection without reading context manually.

function RenderPropDemo() {
  return (
    <Radio aria-label="Seat row preference" defaultValue="exit">
      <Radio.Item value="front">
        {({ isChecked }) => (
          <>
            <Radio.Indicator />
            <Radio.Label>
              Front of cabin
              <span className="text-text-base text-(length:--desktop-body-xs-size) leading-(--desktop-body-xs-line-height) font-normal">
                {isChecked ? 'Selected — boards first.' : 'Quieter, near the galley.'}
              </span>
            </Radio.Label>
          </>
        )}
      </Radio.Item>
      <Radio.Item value="exit">
        {({ isChecked }) => (
          <>
            <Radio.Indicator />
            <Radio.Label>
              Exit row
              <span className="text-text-base text-(length:--desktop-body-xs-size) leading-(--desktop-body-xs-line-height) font-normal">
                {isChecked ? 'Selected — extra legroom, eligibility required.' : 'Extra legroom, eligibility required.'}
              </span>
            </Radio.Label>
          </>
        )}
      </Radio.Item>
    </Radio>
  );
}

render(<RenderPropDemo />);

Accessibility & Keyboard

• The root renders role="radiogroup"; each Radio.Item is a <label role="radio"> wrapping a hidden <input type="radio"> so the group participates in native form submission.
• Provide a group label via aria-label or aria-labelledby. Radio.Label labels the individual item — compose helper text or richer markup directly inside it.
• Radio.Indicator is decorative (aria-hidden); the checked state is surfaced to assistive tech via aria-checked on the item.

Key	Behavior
Tab	Move focus into the group (lands on the checked item, or the first).
↓ / →	Move focus to the next item and select it.
↑ / ←	Move focus to the previous item and select it.
Space	Select the focused item.

Disabled items skip both pointer and keyboard activation. Set selectOnFocus to false if you want focus and selection to decouple, and autoFocus to move focus into the group on mount.

API Reference

Radio

See Spar Radio docs for primitive behavior.

Props

Name	Type	Default	Description
children	React.ReactNode	-	Radio.Item elements rendered inside the radiogroup container.
size	RadioSize	'base'	Size scale. Cascades to descendant Radio.Items via context.
invalid	boolean	false	Marks the group as visually invalid. Cascades to descendant Radio.Items. When nested inside a <Field> with invalid, this is inherited automatically; a direct prop on <Radio> always wins. Maps to Spar's invalid for ARIA wiring (aria-invalid).
spread	boolean	false	Stretches each item to share the group axis equally. Layout intent only — styling is recipe-side via [data-spread] > [data-slot="root"].
position	RadioPosition	'left'	Default placement of an item's indicator relative to its label. Cascades to descendant Radio.Items; per-item position overrides the group value.
classNames	Partial<Record<"root", string>>	-	Per-slot class name overrides.
slotProps	Partial<Record<"root", React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLElement>>>	-	Per-slot HTML attribute overrides.
className	string	-	Appends custom classes to the root slot of this part.

Data attributes

Attribute	Applied when	Purpose
data-slot="root"	Always	Stable selector for wrapper styling on the root slot.
data-size	Always	Reflects the resolved size prop so theme recipes can scope size variants.
data-position	Always	Reflects the resolved indicator position (left / right).
data-invalid	When invalid is true, or inherited from a parent <Field invalid>.	Theme hook for the invalid state. Emitted by Spar on the radiogroup root only; items style themselves through the ancestor selector .tk-radio[data-invalid] .tk-radio-item.
data-spread	When spread is true.	Layout hook used by recipes to stretch each item along the group axis.
data-orientation	Always	Reflects the resolved orientation (vertical / horizontal). Emitted by Spar.
data-disabled	When disabled is true.	Theme hook for the disabled group. Emitted by Spar.
data-required	When required is true.	Theme hook surfacing the required state. Emitted by Spar.

Radio.Item

See Spar Radio docs for primitive behavior.

Props

Name	Type	Default	Description
children	React.ReactNode	-	Radio.Indicator and Radio.Label (compose helper text or richer markup inside the label), or a render function exposing per-item Spar state.
position	RadioPosition	inherited from group	Override the group-level position for this item only.
classNames	Partial<Record<"root", string>>	-	Per-slot class name overrides.
slotProps	Partial<Record<"root", React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLElement>>>	-	Per-slot HTML attribute overrides.
className	string	-	Appends custom classes to the root slot of this part.

Data attributes

Attribute	Applied when	Purpose
data-slot="root"	Always	Stable selector for wrapper styling on the root slot.
data-size	Always	Reflects the resolved size prop so theme recipes can scope size variants.
data-position	Always	Reflects the resolved indicator position (left / right).
data-state="checked"	When the item matches the group value.	Spar checked-state hook. Drives the indicator fill.
data-state="unchecked"	When the item does not match the group value.	Spar unchecked-state hook.
data-disabled	When the item disabled is true, or the group is disabled.	Theme hook for the disabled item state. Emitted by Spar.

Radio.Indicator

Data attributes

Attribute	Applied when	Purpose
data-slot="root"	Always	Stable selector for wrapper styling on the root slot.
data-slot="icon"	Always	Internal decorative fill element. Customize via slotProps.icon / classNames.icon.

Radio.Label

Data attributes

Attribute	Applied when	Purpose
data-slot="root"	Always	Stable selector for wrapper styling on the root slot.
