React RadioGroup Props

An object defining configuration options for the RadioGroup widget.

accessKey

Specifies the shortcut key that sets focus on the widget.

Type:

String

Default Value: null

The value of this option will be passed to the accesskey attribute of the HTML element that underlies the widget.

activeStateEnabled

Specifies whether or not the widget changes its state when interacting with a user.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true

This option is used when the widget is displayed on a platform whose guidelines include the active state change for widgets.

dataSource

A data source used to fetch data the widget should display.

Default Value: null

This option accepts one of the following:

  • Array
    A JavaScript array that contains string, numeric, Boolean values, or plain objects.

  • URL
    The URL of a JSON file or service that returns JSON data.

  • DataSource or its configuration object
    The DataSource is an object that provides an API for data processing. The DataSource's underlying data access logic is isolated in a store. Refer to the Data Layer and DataSource Examples guides for more information about the DataSource.

If the data source contains objects, specify the key in the store and/or a data field providing values in the widget.

NOTE
Data field names should not contain the following characters: ., ,, :, [, and ]. Their presence may cause issues in the widget's operation.

If the data source is specified using the dataSource option, use the items option only for reading. Updating data items using the items option may cause unexpected results.

Function

Return Value:

Number

|

String

The widget's height.

Default Value: undefined

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

  • Number
    The height in pixels.

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

  • Function

hint

Specifies text for a hint that appears when a user pauses on the widget.

Type:

Default Value: undefined

hoverStateEnabled

Specifies whether the widget changes its state when a user pauses on it.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true

isValid

Specifies whether the editor's value is valid.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true

In Knockout apps, you may need to inform a user about an error that occurred during the validation of a view model field. For this purpose, set the editor's isValid option to the isValid value of the dxValidator that validates this field. To show an error message, set the editor's validationError option to the dxValidator's validationError value.

JavaScript
var editorValue = ko.observable("").extend({
    dxValidator: {
        validationRules: [{
            type: "required",
            message: "Specify this value"
        }]
    }
});
var viewModel = {
    editorOptions: {
        value: editorValue,
        isValid: editorValue.dxValidator.isValid,
        validationError: editorValue.dxValidator.validationError
    }
};

The editor's isValid and validationError options should also be specified when using a custom validation engine. In this instance, the validation result will be displayed for the editor by the means of the DevExtreme Validation UI.

items

An array of items displayed by the widget.

Type:

Array<any>

You can use the dataSource option instead. Unlike the items option, the dataSource option can take on the DataSource configuration object as well as a simple array.

NOTE
If you need to modify the data source specified using the items option at runtime, do it only with the help of the items option. Updating data items using the dataSource option may cause unexpected results.

itemTemplate

Specifies a custom template for items.

Type:

template

Template Data:

Object

The current item's data.

Default Name: 'item'

layout

Specifies the radio group layout.

Type:

String

Accepted Values: 'horizontal' | 'vertical'

The following values are available.

  • "vertical"
    Radio buttons are arranged vertically - as a column.

  • "horizontal"
    Radio buttons are arranged horizontally - as a row.

Use the Orientation enum to specify this option when the widget is used as an ASP.NET MVC Control. This enum accepts the following values: Horizontal and Vertical.

name

The value to be assigned to the name attribute of the underlying HTML element.

Type:

String

Default Value: ''

Specify this option if the widget lies within an HTML form that will be submitted.

If you configure the widget as an ASP.NET MVC Control, use this option to bind the widget to a model property. If this model property contains Data Annotation validation attributes, you get the client-side validation enabled by default.
