Usage
usage.tsx
import * as React from "react";import { CheckboxGroup, CheckboxGroupDescription, CheckboxGroupItem, CheckboxGroupLabel, CheckboxGroupList, CheckboxGroupMessage,} from "@/registry/bases/radix/ui/checkbox-group";export default function Example() { const [tricks, setTricks] = React.useState<string[]>(["stalefish", "fs-540"]); return ( <CheckboxGroup value={tricks} onValueChange={setTricks} onValidate={(value) => value.includes("indy") ? "Indy is not allowed" : null } > <CheckboxGroupLabel>Tricks</CheckboxGroupLabel> <CheckboxGroupList> <CheckboxGroupItem value="indy">Indy</CheckboxGroupItem> <CheckboxGroupItem value="stalefish">Stalefish</CheckboxGroupItem> <CheckboxGroupItem value="fs-540">FS 540</CheckboxGroupItem> </CheckboxGroupList> <CheckboxGroupDescription hideOnError> Select grab tricks </CheckboxGroupDescription> <CheckboxGroupMessage /> </CheckboxGroup> );}- Demonstrating controlled checkbox-group state with React.
- Showing group-level validation based on selected values.
- Using helper text that disappears when a validation error is present.
- Building multi-select form fields with an inline message region.
Examples
Validated snowboard tricks
Keeps Indy disallowed while allowing the other selected tricks.
validated-snowboard-tricks.tsx
import * as React from "react";import { CheckboxGroup, CheckboxGroupDescription, CheckboxGroupItem, CheckboxGroupLabel, CheckboxGroupList, CheckboxGroupMessage,} from "@/registry/bases/radix/ui/checkbox-group";export default function SnowboardTricks() { const [value, setValue] = React.useState<string[]>(["stalefish"]); return ( <CheckboxGroup value={value} onValueChange={setValue} onValidate={(nextValue) => nextValue.includes("indy") ? "Indy is not allowed" : null } > <CheckboxGroupLabel>Tricks</CheckboxGroupLabel> <CheckboxGroupList> <CheckboxGroupItem value="indy">Indy</CheckboxGroupItem> <CheckboxGroupItem value="stalefish">Stalefish</CheckboxGroupItem> <CheckboxGroupItem value="fs-540">FS 540</CheckboxGroupItem> </CheckboxGroupList> <CheckboxGroupDescription hideOnError> Select grab tricks </CheckboxGroupDescription> <CheckboxGroupMessage /> </CheckboxGroup> );}Validated notification preferences
Uses the same group-level validation pattern for a multi-select preference field.
validated-notification-preferences.tsx
import * as React from "react";import { CheckboxGroup, CheckboxGroupDescription, CheckboxGroupItem, CheckboxGroupLabel, CheckboxGroupList, CheckboxGroupMessage,} from "@/registry/bases/radix/ui/checkbox-group";export default function NotificationPreferences() { const [value, setValue] = React.useState<string[]>(["email"]); return ( <CheckboxGroup value={value} onValueChange={setValue} onValidate={(nextValue) => nextValue.includes("none") && nextValue.length > 1 ? "None cannot be combined with other options" : null } > <CheckboxGroupLabel>Notifications</CheckboxGroupLabel> <CheckboxGroupList> <CheckboxGroupItem value="email">Email</CheckboxGroupItem> <CheckboxGroupItem value="sms">SMS</CheckboxGroupItem> <CheckboxGroupItem value="none">None</CheckboxGroupItem> </CheckboxGroupList> <CheckboxGroupDescription hideOnError> Choose how you want to be notified </CheckboxGroupDescription> <CheckboxGroupMessage /> </CheckboxGroup> );}Accessibility
- The group provides a visible label through CheckboxGroupLabel.
- Each checkbox has visible text supplied as its child content.
- CheckboxGroupMessage provides a dedicated location for validation feedback.
- Keep the validation message specific and actionable, as in "Indy is not allowed."
- The example is controlled, so state updates remain synchronized with the checkbox selections.
