API reference
PropTypeDefaultDescription
value"easy" | "normal" | "hard"—Selected difficulty for controlled usage. When provided, the component does not update its own selection state.
defaultValue"easy" | "normal" | "hard""normal"Initial selection for uncontrolled usage. Used to initialize internal state.
onChange(value: "easy" | "normal" | "hard") => void—Called when a difficulty button is clicked, with the selected difficulty.
titlestring"Select Difficulty"Text displayed as the card title.
descriptionstring—Optional text displayed below the title. It is rendered only when truthy.
verticalbooleantrueWhen true, stacks the buttons vertically; when false, places them in a row.
classNamestring—Additional class name applied to the card.
...propsReact.HTMLAttributes<HTMLDivElement> (excluding onChange)—Other standard div attributes are forwarded to the card, such as id, aria attributes, and data attributes.
Accessibility
- Each option is a button with its visible label (EASY, NORMAL, or HARD) as its accessible name and can be activated with standard button keyboard interactions.
- The component does not add a group role or programmatic selected/pressed state to the buttons; provide additional labeling or semantics if assistive technology needs to identify the options as a selection group.
- The optional description is displayed as card text but is not programmatically associated with the buttons.
