Radio Button Group allows the user to select exactly one value from a list of related but mutually exclusive options.

Validation

Radio Button Group comes with a built-in validation mechanism that verifies that a radio button is selected when required is enabled. Validation is triggered whenever the user selects a radio button or the value is updated programmatically. In practice, however, the required error can only occur if the value is cleared programmatically. This is because radio buttons, by design, don't allow users to clear a selection through UI interaction. If the required error occurs, the component is marked as invalid and an error message is displayed below the group.

The required error message can be configured using either RadioButtonGroup.RadioButtonGroupI18n.setRequiredErrorMessage(String) or HasValidationProperties.setErrorMessage(String).

For more advanced validation that requires custom rules, you can use Binder. Please note that Binder provides its own API for the required validation, see asRequired().

However, if Binder doesn't fit your needs and you want to implement fully custom validation logic, you can disable the built-in validation by setting setManualValidation(boolean) to true. This will allow you to control the invalid state and the error message manually using HasValidationProperties.setInvalid(boolean) and HasValidationProperties.setErrorMessage(String) API.

setValue

public void setValue(T value)

Description copied from interface: HasValue

Sets the value of this object. If the new value is not equal to getValue(), fires a value change event. May throw IllegalArgumentException if the value is not acceptable.

Implementation note: the implementing class should document whether null values are accepted or not, and override HasValue.getEmptyValue() if the empty value is not null.

Specified by:

setValue in interface HasValue<AbstractField.ComponentValueChangeEvent<RadioButtonGroup<T>,T>,T>

Overrides:

setValue in class AbstractField<RadioButtonGroup<T>,T>

Overrides:

onDetach in class Component

Parameters:

detachEvent - the detach event

getDataProvider

public DataProvider<T,?> getDataProvider()

Gets the data provider used by this RadioButtonGroup.

To get information and control over the items in the RadioButtonGroup, use either getListDataView() or getGenericDataView() instead.

public SerializablePredicate<T> getItemEnabledProvider()

Returns the item enabled predicate.

Returns:

the item enabled predicate

See Also:

• setItemEnabledProvider(com.vaadin.flow.function.SerializablePredicate<T>)

setItemEnabledProvider

public void setItemEnabledProvider(SerializablePredicate<T> itemEnabledProvider)

Sets the item enabled predicate for this radio button group. The predicate is applied to each item to determine whether the item should be enabled (true) or disabled (false).

Parameters:

itemEnabledProvider - the item enable predicate, not null

getItemRenderer

public ComponentRenderer<? extends Component,T> getItemRenderer()

Returns the item component renderer.

Returns:

the item renderer

See Also:

• setRenderer(ComponentRenderer)

setRenderer

public void setRenderer(ComponentRenderer<? extends Component,T> renderer)

Parameters:

renderer - the item renderer, not null

onEnabledStateChanged

public void onEnabledStateChanged(boolean enabled)

Description copied from class: Component

Handle component enable state when the enabled state changes.

By default this sets or removes the 'disabled' attribute from the element. This can be overridden to have custom handling.

onEnabledStateChanged in class Component

Parameters:

enabled - the new enabled state of the component

setReadOnly

public void setReadOnly(boolean readOnly)

Description copied from interface: HasValue

Sets the read-only mode of this HasValue to given mode. The user can't change the value when in read-only mode.

A HasValue with a visual component in read-only mode typically looks visually different to signal to the user that the value cannot be edited.

Specified by:

setReadOnly in interface HasValue<AbstractField.ComponentValueChangeEvent<RadioButtonGroup<T>,T>,T>

Specified by:

setReadOnly in interface HasValueAndElement<AbstractField.ComponentValueChangeEvent<RadioButtonGroup<T>,T>,T>

Returns whether this HasValue is in read-only mode or not.

Specified by:

isReadOnly in interface HasValue<AbstractField.ComponentValueChangeEvent<RadioButtonGroup<T>,T>,T>

Specified by:

isReadOnly in interface HasValueAndElement<AbstractField.ComponentValueChangeEvent<RadioButtonGroup<T>,T>,T>

Returns:

false if the user can modify the value, true if not.

setRequiredIndicatorVisible

public void setRequiredIndicatorVisible(boolean required)

Sets whether the user is required to select a radio button. When required, an indicator appears next to the label and the field invalidates if the selection is cleared programmatically.

NOTE: The required indicator is only visible when the field has a label, see setLabel(String).

Specified by:

setRequiredIndicatorVisible in interface HasValue<AbstractField.ComponentValueChangeEvent<RadioButtonGroup<T>,T>,T>

Specified by:

setRequiredIndicatorVisible in interface HasValueAndElement<AbstractField.ComponentValueChangeEvent<RadioButtonGroup<T>,T>,T>

the label property from the webcomponent

setSelectionPreservationMode

public void setSelectionPreservationMode(SelectionPreservationMode selectionPreservationMode)

Sets the selection preservation mode. Determines what happens with the selection when DataProvider.refreshAll() is called. The selection is discarded in any case when a new data provider is set. The default is SelectionPreservationMode.DISCARD.

Parameters:

selectionPreservationMode - the selection preservation mode to switch to, not null

See Also:

• SelectionPreservationMode

getSelectionPreservationMode

public SelectionPreservationMode getSelectionPreservationMode()

Gets the selection preservation mode.

Returns:

the selection preservation mode

See Also:

• setSelectionPreservationMode(SelectionPreservationMode)

setAriaLabel

public void setAriaLabel(String ariaLabel)

Description copied from interface: HasAriaLabel

Set the aria-label of the component to the given text.

This method should not be used if HasAriaLabel.setAriaLabelledBy(String) is also used. If both attributes are present, aria-labelledby will take precedence over aria-label.

Specified by:

setAriaLabel in interface HasAriaLabel

Parameters:

ariaLabel - the aria-label text to set or null to clear

getAriaLabel

public Optional<String> getAriaLabel()

Description copied from interface: HasAriaLabel

Gets the aria-label of the component.

Specified by:

getAriaLabel in interface HasAriaLabel

Returns:

an optional aria-label of the component if no aria-label has been set

setAriaLabelledBy

public void setAriaLabelledBy(String labelledBy)

Description copied from interface: HasAriaLabel

Set the aria-labelledby of the component. The value must be a valid id attribute of another element that labels the component. The label element must be in the same DOM scope of the component, otherwise screen readers may fail to announce the label content properly.

This method should not be used if HasAriaLabel.setAriaLabel(String) is also used. If both attributes are present, aria-labelledby will take precedence over aria-label.

Specified by:

setAriaLabelledBy in interface HasAriaLabel

Parameters:

labelledBy - the string with the id of the element that will be used as label or null to clear

getAriaLabelledBy

public Optional<String> getAriaLabelledBy()

Description copied from interface: HasAriaLabel

Gets the aria-labelledby of the component

Specified by:

getAriaLabelledBy in interface HasAriaLabel

Returns:

an optional aria-labelledby of the component if no aria-labelledby has been set

valueEquals

protected boolean valueEquals(T value1,
 T value2)

Compares two value instances to each other to determine whether they are equal. Equality is used to determine whether to update internal state and fire an event when setValue(Object) or AbstractField.setModelValue(Object, boolean) is called. Subclasses can override this method to define an alternative comparison method instead of Object.equals(Object).

Overrides:

valueEquals in class AbstractField<RadioButtonGroup<T>,T>

Parameters:

value1 - the first instance

value2 - the second instance

Returns:

true if the instances are equal; otherwise false

setManualValidation

public void setManualValidation(boolean enabled)

Description copied from interface: HasValidation

Sets whether manual validation mode is enabled for the component.

When enabled, the component doesn't perform its built-in constraint validation on value change, blur, and other events. This allows manually controlling the invalid state and error messages using the HasValidation.setInvalid(boolean) and HasValidation.setErrorMessage(String) methods. Manual mode is helpful when there is a need for a totally custom validation logic that cannot be achieved with Binder.

Example:

 Field field = new Field();
 field.setManualValidation(true);
 field.addValueChangeListener(event -> {
     if (Objects.equal(event.getValue(), "")) {
         field.setInvalid(true);
         field.setErrorMessage("The field is required.");
     } else {
         field.setInvalid(false);
     }
 });
 

For components that don't have built-in validation, the method has no effect.

Specified by:

setManualValidation in interface HasValidation

Parameters:

enabled - whether to enable manual validation mode.

getDefaultValidator

public Validator<T> getDefaultValidator()

Description copied from interface: HasValidator

Returns a validator that checks the state of the Value. This should be overridden for components with internal value conversion or validation, e.g. when the user is providing a string that has to be parsed into a date. An invalid input from user will be exposed to a Binder and can be seen as a validation failure.

Specified by:

getDefaultValidator in interface HasValidator<T>

Returns:

state validator

validate

protected void validate()

Validates the current value against the constraints and sets the invalid property and the errorMessage property based on the result. If a custom error message is provided with HasValidationProperties.setErrorMessage(String), it is used. Otherwise, the error message defined in the i18n object is used.

The method does nothing if the manual validation mode is enabled.

getI18n

public RadioButtonGroup.RadioButtonGroupI18n getI18n()

Gets the internationalization object previously set for this component.

NOTE: Updating the instance that is returned from this method will not update the component if not set again using setI18n(RadioButtonGroupI18n)

Returns:

the i18n object or null if no i18n object has been set

setI18n

public void setI18n(RadioButtonGroup.RadioButtonGroupI18n i18n)

Sets the internationalization object for this component.

Parameters:

i18n - the i18n object, not null
