Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @8bitcn/radio-group

Requires @8bitcn in the registries of your components.json (shadcn adds official directory namespaces automatically).

Usage

usage.tsx
import { RadioGroup, RadioGroupItem } from "@/components/ui/8bit/radio-group";<RadioGroup defaultValue="pixel" aria-label="Display style">  <RadioGroupItem id="pixel" value="pixel" />  <label htmlFor="pixel">Pixel</label>  <RadioGroupItem id="smooth" value="smooth" />  <label htmlFor="smooth">Smooth</label></RadioGroup>
  • When users need to choose one option from a small set of mutually exclusive choices.
  • When a radio group should fit a pixel-art or retro-themed interface.
  • When you want Radix radio-group behavior with the 8-bit item styling.

Examples

Controlled selection

Use the group’s value and change handler to keep selection in React state.

controlled-selection.tsx
import { useState } from "react";import { RadioGroup, RadioGroupItem } from "@/components/ui/8bit/radio-group";function ThemeChoice() {  const [theme, setTheme] = useState("day");  return (    <RadioGroup value={theme} onValueChange={setTheme} aria-label="Theme">      <RadioGroupItem id="day" value="day" />      <label htmlFor="day">Day</label>      <RadioGroupItem id="night" value="night" />      <label htmlFor="night">Night</label>    </RadioGroup>  );}

Disabled option

Disable an individual choice using the Radix item prop.

disabled-option.tsx
import { RadioGroup, RadioGroupItem } from "@/components/ui/8bit/radio-group";<RadioGroup defaultValue="standard" aria-label="Game mode">  <RadioGroupItem id="standard" value="standard" />  <label htmlFor="standard">Standard</label>  <RadioGroupItem id="bonus" value="bonus" disabled />  <label htmlFor="bonus">Bonus (unavailable)</label></RadioGroup>

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription
RadioGroupReact.ComponentPropsWithoutRef<typeof ShadcnRadioGroup>—Accepts the props of the standard shadcn RadioGroup wrapper, which is based on the Radix RadioGroup root. This includes group-level props such as value, defaultValue, onValueChange, name, disabled, required, orientation, dir, and loop. Also accepts className.
RadioGroupItemReact.ComponentPropsWithoutRef<typeof RadioGroupPrimitive.Item> & { ref?: React.RefObject<React.ComponentRef<typeof RadioGroupPrimitive.Item>> }—Accepts Radix RadioGroup item props, including the required value and item-level props such as disabled, plus className. The optional ref is explicitly typed as a React.RefObject. className is applied to both the outer wrapper and the Radix item.

Accessibility

  • Give the group an accessible name, for example with aria-label or aria-labelledby.
  • Provide an accessible label for every item; a native label associated through htmlFor and the item’s id is one option.
  • Radix supplies radio-group semantics and keyboard interaction; preserve its expected group and item structure.
  • The focus-visible styling adds a ring, and disabled items use disabled semantics and reduced opacity.
