Perspective - Radio Group

Component Palette Icon:

Description

The Radio Group allows you to create multiple radio buttons in a single container. The number of radio buttons in the group is determined by the number of elements in the "radios" object. Only one radio button in a group may be selected at a time. Radio groups are a good way to let the user choose just one of a number of options. If multiple selections are expected, the Checkbox or Dropdown components can be used.

The Radio Group component has three pre-configured variants:

• Text Right - Default layout with text on the right of the radio button.
• Text Left - Layout with text on the left of the radio button.
• Multiple - Layout with multiple radio buttons and text on the right.
