React RadioGroup Props

An object defining configuration options for the RadioGroup widget.

See Also

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

Binds the widget to data.

If you use DevExtreme ASP.NET MVC Controls, refer to the Bind Controls to Data article.

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 option 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 widgets 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.

  • 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 otherwise shape data. To get its instance, call the getDataSource() method.

NOTE

Please review the following notes about data binding:

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

  • Data field names should not contain the following characters: ., ,, :, [, and ].

  • DataSource and stores provide methods to process and update data. However, the methods do not allow you to perform particular tasks (for example, replace the entire dataset, reconfigure data access at runtime). For such tasks, create a new array, store, or DataSource and assign it to the dataSource option as shown in the articles about changing options in jQuery, Angular, React, and Vue.

disabled

Specifies whether the widget responds to user interaction.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

displayExpr

Specifies the data field whose values should be displayed.

Function

Function parameters:
item:

Object

The current item's data object.

Return Value:

String

The displayed value.

Default Value: undefined

Set this option to the name of a data field that provides displayed values...

... or to a function that returns the displayed value:

displayExpr: function(item) {
    // "item" can be null
    return item && 'ID: ' + item.id + ', Name: ' + item.name;
}

Leave this option unspecified or set it to this if the data source contains primitives.

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%", "inherit".

itemComponent

An alias for the itemTemplate option specified in React. Accepts a custom component. Refer to Using a Custom Component for more information.

itemRender

An alias for the itemTemplate option specified in React. Accepts a rendering function. Refer to Using a Rendering Function for more information.

items

An array of items displayed by the widget.

If you need to update the widget 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 option. 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 option if you use dataSource, and vice versa.

Particular fields in objects can control the widget's appearance. See Default Templates for more information.

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

Default Value: 'vertical', 'horizontal' (tablets)
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 5 Control or a DevExtreme-Based ASP.NET Core 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 5 Control or a DevExtreme-Based ASP.NET Core 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.

Always set this option if the dataSource contains objects. Alternatively, you can specify the key in the store.

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