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.
