```js
import {RadioGroup} from '@primer/react-brand'
```

## Examples

### Default

`RadioGroup` creates a semantic container for multiple related radio inputs. Note that all radio inputs must share the same `name` prop to function as a group.

```jsx
<RadioGroup>
  <RadioGroup.Label>Choose your primary workspace</RadioGroup.Label>
  <FormControl>
    <FormControl.Label>Codespaces</FormControl.Label>
    <Radio name="workspace" value="codespaces" />
  </FormControl>
  <FormControl>
    <FormControl.Label>Local environment</FormControl.Label>
    <Radio name="workspace" value="local" />
  </FormControl>
  <FormControl>
    <FormControl.Label>Pen and paper</FormControl.Label>
    <Radio name="workspace" value="remote" />
  </FormControl>
</RadioGroup>
```

### With caption

Use `RadioGroup.Caption` to provide additional context for the group.

```jsx
<RadioGroup>
  <RadioGroup.Label>Repository visibility</RadioGroup.Label>
  <RadioGroup.Caption>Choose who can see and access your repository</RadioGroup.Caption>
  <FormControl>
    <FormControl.Label>Public</FormControl.Label>
    <Radio name="visibility" value="public" />
  </FormControl>
  <FormControl>
    <FormControl.Label>Private</FormControl.Label>
    <Radio name="visibility" value="private" />
  </FormControl>
</RadioGroup>
```

### With validation

`RadioGroup.Validation` can display success or error states with appropriate icons.

```jsx
<Stack direction="vertical" gap="spacious">
  <RadioGroup>
    <RadioGroup.Label>Valid selection</RadioGroup.Label>
    <FormControl>
      <FormControl.Label>Basic plan</FormControl.Label>
      <Radio name="plan-valid" value="basic" />
    </FormControl>
    <FormControl>
      <FormControl.Label>Pro plan</FormControl.Label>
      <Radio name="plan-valid" value="pro" defaultChecked />
    </FormControl>
    <RadioGroup.Validation variant="success">Great choice!</RadioGroup.Validation>
  </RadioGroup>

  <RadioGroup>
    <RadioGroup.Label>Invalid selection</RadioGroup.Label>
    <FormControl>
      <FormControl.Label>Basic plan</FormControl.Label>
      <Radio name="plan-invalid" value="basic" />
    </FormControl>
    <FormControl>
      <FormControl.Label>Pro plan</FormControl.Label>
      <Radio name="plan-invalid" value="pro" />
    </FormControl>
    <RadioGroup.Validation variant="error">Please select a plan to continue</RadioGroup.Validation>
  </RadioGroup>
</Stack>
```

### Inline

When space is limited, radio inputs can be arranged horizontally using the [Stack](../../layout/Stack/index.md) component.

```jsx
<RadioGroup>
  <RadioGroup.Label visuallyHidden>Time period</RadioGroup.Label>
  <RadioGroup.Caption>Some inline radio inputs with a visually hidden label</RadioGroup.Caption>
  <Stack direction="horizontal" gap="normal" padding="none" flexWrap="wrap">
    <FormControl>
      <FormControl.Label>Last 7 days</FormControl.Label>
      <Radio name="period" value="week" />
    </FormControl>
    <FormControl>
      <FormControl.Label>Last 30 days</FormControl.Label>
      <Radio name="period" value="month" defaultChecked />
    </FormControl>
    <FormControl>
      <FormControl.Label>Last year</FormControl.Label>
      <Radio name="period" value="year" />
    </FormControl>
  </Stack>
</RadioGroup>
```
