jQuery RadioGroup Options

An object defining configuration properties for the RadioGroup UI component.

accessKey

Specifies the shortcut key that sets focus on the UI component.

Type:

String

Default Value: undefined

The value of this property will be passed to the accesskey attribute of the HTML element that underlies the UI component.

activeStateEnabled

Specifies whether the UI component changes its visual state as a result of user interaction.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true

The UI component switches to the active state when users press down the primary mouse button. When this property is set to true, the CSS rules for the active state apply. You can change these rules to customize the component.

Use this property when you display the component on a platform whose guidelines include the active state change for UI components.

dataSource

Binds the UI component to data.

Default Value: null

The RadioGroup works with collections of objects or string, number, or boolean values.

Depending on your data source, bind the RadioGroup to data as follows. In each case, also specify the valueExpr, displayExpr, or both if the data source provides objects.

  • Data Array
    Assign the array to the dataSource option.

  • Read-Only Data in JSON Format
    Set the dataSource property to the URL of a JSON file or service that returns JSON data.

  • OData
    Implement an ODataStore.

  • Web API, PHP, MongoDB
    Use one of the following extensions to enable the server to process data according to the protocol DevExtreme UI components use:

    Then, use the createStore method to configure access to the server on the client as shown below. This method is part of DevExtreme.AspNet.Data.

    jQuery
    JavaScript
    $(function() {
        let serviceUrl = "https://url/to/my/service";

  • Any other data source
    Implement a CustomStore.

Regardless of the data source on the input, the RadioGroup always wraps it in the DataSource object. This object allows you to sort, filter, group, and perform other data shaping operations. To get its instance, call the getDataSource() method.

NOTE

Review the following notes about data binding:

  • Do not specify the items property if you specified the dataSource, and vice versa.

  • Data field names cannot be equal to this and should not contain the following characters: ., :, [, and ].

jQuery
  • The stores are immutable. You cannot change their configurations at runtime. Instead, create a new store or DataSource and assign it to the dataSource property as shown in the following help topic: Get and Set Properties.
Angular
  • The stores are immutable. You cannot change their configurations at runtime. Instead, create a new store or DataSource and assign it to the dataSource property as shown in the following help topic: Two-Way Property Binding.
Vue
  • The stores are immutable. You cannot change their configurations at runtime. Instead, create a new store or DataSource and assign it to the dataSource property as shown in the following help topic: Two-Way Property Binding.
React
  • The stores are immutable. You cannot change their configurations at runtime. Instead, create a new store or DataSource and assign it to the dataSource property as shown in the following help topic: Controlled Mode.

See Also

items[]

An array of items displayed by the UI component.

The items array can contain:

  • Objects with fields described in this section
  • Objects with any other fields. In this case, specify the itemTemplate.

If you need to update the UI component items, reassign the entire items array as shown in the following example:

JavaScript
radioGroupInstance.option('items', newItems);

As an alternative to items, you can use the dataSource property. It accepts the DataSource object, whose underlying stores provide an API that allows you to update individual items without reassigning the entire item collection.

NOTE
Do not use the items property if you use dataSource, and vice versa.

When you assign "invalid" to validationStatus, you can also use the validationErrors array to set an error message as shown below:

jQuery

$(function() {
    const radioGroup = $("#radioGroupContainer").dxRadioGroup({
        // ...
    }).dxRadioGroup("instance");

    function setInvalidStatus(message) {

value

Specifies the UI component's value.

Type: any
Default Value: null
Raised Events: onValueChanged

valueExpr

Specifies which data field provides unique values to the UI component's value.

Type:

String

|

Function

Function parameters:
item:

Object

The current item's data object.

Return Value:

String

|

Number

|

Boolean

A unique item identifier.

Default Value: 'this'

When dataSource contains objects, you should define valueExpr to correctly identify data items. Otherwise, the component uses referential equality to compare objects that may result in unexpected behavior.

If you use a store, the valueExpr property should have the same value as the key in the store.

Do not use template as a valueExpr value.

NOTE
You cannot specify valueExpr as a function when the UI component is bound to a remote data source. This is because valueExpr is used in a filter the UI component sends to the server when querying data. Functions with custom logic cannot be serialized for this filter.

visible

Specifies whether the UI component is visible.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true

width

Specifies the UI component's width.

Type:

Number

|

String

|

Function

Return Value:

Number

String

The UI component's width.

Default Value: undefined

This property accepts a value of one of the following types:

  • Number
    The width in pixels.

  • String
    A CSS-accepted measurement of width. For example, "55px", "20vw", "80%", "auto", "inherit".

  • Function (deprecated since v21.2)
