Content properties​

These properties are customizable options present in the property pane of the widget, allowing users to modify the widget according to their preferences.

Data​

Options array<object>​

This property allows you to set the labels and values for the items. You can add these labels and values directly from the user interface. Ensure that the values assigned to each option are unique. Additionally, you can turn on JS and provide options in JSON format, like:

Example:

[
  {
    "label": "Yes",
    "value": "yes"
  },
  {
    "label": "No",
    "value": "no"
  }
]

You can also dynamically display data by using JavaScript. For instance, you can use the .map() function to transform the data to the desired format, like:

Example:

{{getdata.data.map( p => ({label: p.country, value: p.country}))}}

Default selected value string​

This property defines the default option selected in the Radio Group widget. It is mandatory to set a value, and it must match one of the values specified in the Options property.

Label​

Text string​

Sets the label for the Radio Group widget. This label provides context for the options presented to the user, ensuring clarity about the purpose of the selection.

Tooltip String​

Allows you to add a tooltip to the widget, offering additional guidance or context about the selection options. This is particularly useful for clarifying the purpose of the Radio Group or providing instructions for selecting an option.

Validations​

Required boolean​

When enabled, this property makes the Radio Group a mandatory field. When the Radio Group is placed within a Form widget, enabling the Required property ensures that the Form's submit button remains disabled until the Radio Group has some value.

General​

Visible boolean​

This property controls the visibility of the widget. If you turn off this property, the widget would not be visible in view mode. Additionally, you can use JavaScript by clicking on JS next to the Visible property to conditionally control the widget's visibility.

For example, if you want to make the widget visible only when the user selects "Yes" from a Select widget, you can use the following JavaScript expression:

{{Select1.selectedOptionValue === "Yes"}}

Disabled boolean​

This property prevents users from selecting the Checkbox widget. Even though the widget remains visible, user input is not permitted. Additionally, you can use JavaScript by clicking on JS next to the Disabled property to control the widget's disable state conditionally.

For example, if you want to allow only a specific user to interact with the Audio Recorder widget, you can use the following JavaScript expression in the disabled property:

{{appsmith.user.email=="john@appsmith.com"?false:true}}

Animate Loading boolean​

This property controls whether the widget is displayed with a loading animation. When enabled, the widget shows a skeletal animation during the loading process. Additionally, you can control it through JavaScript by clicking on the JS next to the property.

Events​

onSelectionChange​

This event defines the action that would be executed when the user selects or deselects item in the Radio Group. It allows you to specify a list of actions that can be triggered in response to the widget state change.

Reference properties​

These properties are not available in the property pane, but can be accessed using the dot operator in other widgets or JavaScript functions. For instance, to get the visibility status, you can use RadioGroup1.isVisible.

options Array​

The options property is an array that contains the values of all the available options.

Example:

{{RadioGroup1.options}}

selectedOptionValue string​

The selectedValues property holds an array of values that represents the options selected by the user.

Example:

{{RadioGroup1.selectedOptionValue}}

isRequired boolean​

This property indicates whether the widget is required or not.

Example:

{{RadioGroup1.isRequired}}

isVisible Boolean​

The isVisible property indicates the visibility state of a widget, with true indicating it is visible and false indicating it is hidden.

Example:

{{RadioGroup1.isVisible}}

Methods​

Widget property setters enable you to modify the values of widget properties at runtime, eliminating the need to manually update properties in the editor.

These methods are asynchronous and return a Promise. You can use the .then() block to ensure execution and sequencing of subsequent lines of code in Appsmith.

setVisibility (param: boolean): Promise​

Sets the visibility of the widget.

Example:

if (SupportRequestForm.requestType === "Critical") {
  RadioGroup1.setVisibility(true);
} else {
  RadioGroup1.setVisibility(false);
}

setDisabled (param: boolean): Promise​

Sets the disabled state of the widget.

Example:

if (ProjectDetails.status === "Completed") {
  RadioGroup1.setDisabled(true);
  showAlert("You cannot change the project status after completion.", "warning");
} else {
  RadioGroup1.setDisabled(false);
}

setData (param: array< object >): Promise​

Dynamically sets the data for the Radio Group widget. This method updates the widget's options at runtime by accepting an array of objects, where each object contains a label and value key.

Example: If you want to display payment methods:

RadioGroup1.setData([
  { label: "Credit Card", value: "credit_card" },
  { label: "PayPal", value: "paypal" },
  { label: "Bank Transfer", value: "bank_transfer" }
]);
