React RadioGroup API

The RadioGroup is a widget that contains a set of radio buttons and allows an end user to make a single selection from the set.

import RadioGroup from "devextreme-react/radio-group"
Type: RadioGroupTypes.default

DevExtreme widgets are integrated with many popular libraries and frameworks. See the Installation section (for JavaScript libraries) or the Prerequisites and Installation section (for ASP.NET MVC framework) to find details on setting up DevExtreme with a particular library or framework.

The following code shows how to create the RadioGroup widget using every supported library and framework. For more details on working with widgets in these libraries and frameworks, see the Widget Basics topic for jQuery, Angular, AngularJS, Knockout or ASP.NET MVC.
