React-radio-group

This is a fork of https://github.com/chenglou/react-radio-group updated to work with npm and commonjs.

This is your average radios group:

<form>
  <input type="radio" name="fruit" value="apple" />Apple
  <input type="radio" name="fruit" value="orange" />Orange
  <input type="radio" name="fruit" value="watermelon" />Watermelon
</form>

Repetitive, hard to manipulate and easily desynchronized. Lift up name, give the group an initial checked value, and optionally remove the form tag:

<RadioGroup name="fruit" value="orange">
  <input type="radio" value="apple" />Apple
  <input type="radio" value="orange" />Orange
  <input type="radio" value="watermelon" />Watermelon
</RadioGroup>

Listen for changes, get the new value as intuitively as possible:

<RadioGroup name="fruit" value="orange" ref="fruitsGroup" onChange={this.handleChange}>
// further...
 
this.refs.fruitsGroup.getCheckedValue(); // => whatever's currently checked
// handleChange is also passed the native onChange event, whose value
// resides in event.target.value (see example below)

That's it for the API! See below for a complete example.

Install

bower install react-radio-group

Simply drop the script somewhere on your page (after React of course):

<script src="path/to/react-radio-group.js"></script>

Example

Demo's almost as long as the whole source code.

/**
* @jsx React.DOM
*/
var Demo = React.createClass({
  getInitialState: function() {
    return {value: 'celery'};
  },
 
  componentDidMount: function() {
    // change the selected radio to "Potato" in one second
    setTimeout(function() {
      this.setState({value: 'potato'});
    }.bind(this), 1000);
  },
 
  render: function() {
    // the radios can be arbitrarily deep. They will always be fetched and
    // attached the `name` attribute correctly. `value` is optional
    return (
      <RadioGroup
        name="veggy"
        value={this.state.value}
        ref="veggiesGroup"
        onChange={this.handleChange}
      >
        <div>
          <label>
            <input type="radio" value="celery"/>Celery
          </label>
          <label>
            <input type="radio" value="potato"/>Potato
          </label>
          <label>
            <input type="radio" value="broccoli"/>Broccoli
          </label>
        </div>
      </RadioGroup>
    );
  },
 
  handleChange: function(event) {
    // will return the currently selected radio's value, or null if none
    // alternatively, use the passed parameter `event`
    var selectedVeggy = this.refs.veggiesGroup.getCheckedValue();
    var sameVeggy = event.target.value;
  }
});
 
React.renderComponent(<Demo/>, document.body);
