IMPORTANT: The Material Web Components are a work in progress and subject to major changes until 1.0 release.

Radio buttons allow the user to select one option from a set. Use radio buttons when the user needs to see all available options.

Installation

npm install @material/mwc-radio

NOTE: The Material Web Components are distributed as ES2017 JavaScript Modules, and use the Custom Elements API. They are compatible with all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and IE11, but an additional tooling step is required to resolve bare module specifiers, as well as transpilation and polyfills for IE11. See here for detailed instructions.

Example usage

Standard

<mwc-radio name="myGroup" value="value1"></mwc-radio>
<mwc-radio name="myGroup" value="value2" checked></mwc-radio>

<script type="module">
  import '@material/mwc-radio';
</script>

Custom color

<style>
mwc-radio {
  background-color: #363636;

  --mdc-theme-secondary: #ff2929;
  --mdc-radio-unchecked-color: white;
}
</style>

<mwc-radio name="myGroup" checked></mwc-radio>
<mwc-radio name="myGroup"></mwc-radio>

Disabled custom color

<style>
mwc-radio {
  background-color: #363636;

  --mdc-radio-disabled-color: #adadad;
}
</style>

<mwc-radio disabled name="myGroup"></mwc-radio>
<mwc-radio disabled name="myGroup" checked></mwc-radio>

With Form Field

Most applications should use <mwc-formfield> to associate an interactive label with the radio.

<style>
  mwc-formfield {
    display: block;
  }
</style>

<mwc-formfield label="Home">
  <mwc-radio name="location"></mwc-radio>
</mwc-formfield>

<mwc-formfield label="Work">
  <mwc-radio name="location"></mwc-radio>
</mwc-formfield>

<script type="module">
  import '@material/mwc-radio';
  import '@material/mwc-formfield';
</script>
