Tailwind CSS Radio Button - React

Our Tailwind CSS radio button component will let your users choose only one of a predefined set of mutually exclusive options. Radio buttons should be used instead of checkboxes if only one item can be selected from a list.

Use the following example to create simple Radio buttons for your projects.

HTML

React

import { Radio } from "@material-tailwind/react";
 
export function RadioDefault() {
  return (
    <div className="flex gap-10">
      <Radio name="type" label="HTML" />
      <Radio name="type" label="React" defaultChecked />
    </div>
  );
}

Radio Button Colors

The Radio component comes with 19 different colors that you can change it using the color prop.

import { Radio } from "@material-tailwind/react";
 
export function RadioColors() {
  return (
    <div className="flex w-max gap-4">
      <Radio name="color" color="blue" defaultChecked />
      <Radio name="color" color="red" />
      <Radio name="color" color="green" />
      <Radio name="color" color="amber" />
      <Radio name="color" color="teal" />
      <Radio name="color" color="indigo" />
      <Radio name="color" color="purple" />
      <Radio name="color" color="pink" />
    </div>
  );
}

Radio Button Custom Icon

You can add a custom icon for the Radio button component when it's checked by passing the icon prop to the Radio button component.

HTML

React

import { Radio } from "@material-tailwind/react";
 
export function RadioCustomIcon() {
  return (
    <>
      <Radio
        name="type"
        label="HTML"
        icon={
