<x-widget.radio>

Radio

A group of radio buttons in a fieldset, with descriptions and disabled options. Works with Livewire wire:model.

php artisan larawell:add radio

Usage

Livewire

In a Livewire component, bind the group with wire:model (deferred) or wire:model.live: public string $plan = 'free'. No name is needed. The chosen option follows the property after every render, so setting it in PHP changes the choice. The values are strings in the HTML: bind an enum property (public Plan $plan) and Livewire casts it back.

Blade
<x-widget.radio
    label="Plan"
    :options="['free' => 'Free', 'pro' => 'Pro', 'team' => 'Team']"
    wire:model.live="plan"
/>

Examples

Radio

Options take the same shapes as the select, plus an optional description. inline lays them out in a row.

Plan
Statement
Show code
Blade
<div class="grid gap-8 sm:grid-cols-2">
    <x-widget.radio name="plan" label="Plan" value="pro" required :options="[
        ['id' => 'starter', 'name' => 'Starter', 'description' => 'Up to 3 wallets'],
        ['id' => 'pro', 'name' => 'Pro', 'description' => 'Unlimited wallets and exports'],
        ['id' => 'team', 'name' => 'Team', 'description' => 'Coming soon', 'disabled' => true],
    ]" />
    <x-widget.radio name="frequency" label="Statement" inline :options="['monthly' => 'Monthly', 'quarterly' => 'Quarterly', 'yearly' => 'Yearly']" value="monthly" />
</div>

Props

Other attributes, such as autocomplete or data-*, are passed through to the element. class styles the component's outer wrapper.

<x-widget.radio>

Prop Default Description
name null What it submits as; its error and old input are found under it. Optional with wire:model, which then names it.
id null Defaults to one made from the name (or the wire:model property).
label null The group's legend, read before each option.
options [] A list, a value => label map, enum cases, or rows (value or id, label or name) with an optional description and disabled.
value null The chosen value. Old input wins after a failed submit; with wire:model and no value, the bound property.
error null An error message of your own; otherwise the validation error for the name, from the session or Livewire.
info null A hint under the field.
bag 'default' Which error bag to read the error from.
disabled false Greyed out: it can't be changed.
inline false Side by side instead of stacked.
