Radio

A radio input allows users to select only one option from a number of choices. Radio is generally displayed in a radio group.

Neutral selected states

When the platform-dst-tokens-finesse feature flag is enabled, this component uses the new neutral treatment for selected states.

The goal of @atlaskit/radio is to take @atlaskit/field-radio-group and refactor it to:

  • normalize the API using conventions that have developed within ADG3 and the React ecosystem

  • refactor out the Stateless/Stateful paradigm in favor of a more maintainable, conditionally controlled component

  • export more granular components to enable the consumption of atlaskit radio components for more use case

Exports

Previously in @atlaskit/field-radio-group the following components were exported:

  • AkRadioGroup (default)
  • AkRadioGroupStateless
  • AkRadio

@atlaskit/radio no longer has a default export. Furthermore, the following components are exported instead:

  • RadioGroup
  • Radio

Radio group

While @atlaskit/field-radio-group exported a stateful and stateless version of the RadioGroup component, @atlaskit/radio has opted to unify these two components into a single conditionally controlled component.

In @atlaskit/field-radio-group, users would pass in an items array to be rendered as a set of Radio components. The shape of this items array is more or less the same in @atlaskit/radio, however the prop has now been renamed options to be more semantically consistent with other components of similar concern.

Other core changes are the following prop additions:

  • value: This is an optional prop that is compared against the value of each passed in option. The matching option will be instantiated as a Radio component with isChecked set to true. If this prop is left undefined, the selection of any given radio is managed internally within the state of the RadioGroup component.
  • defaultValue: This is an optional prop that is set as the value in state initially. Further interactions with radio options rendered by this RadioGroup will override this value with the internally managed checked state.
  • onRadioChange in @atlaskit/field-radio-group is now onChange in @atlaskit/radio.

Additionally, while defaultChecked use to be a valid property within the passed in items array in field-radio-group; this is no longer the case in @atlaskit/radio, as the responsibility of this property is now passed up to the defaultValue prop on the RadioGroup component.

Radio

The isChecked prop in field-radio-group has been replaced with the isChecked prop in@atlaskit/radio, to inline it with conventions established both in native radio elements and within the context of React.

value used to accept a string in field-radio-base; this has now been expanded to accept both number and string values.
