React MUI Radio Input

Last Updated : 28 Apr, 2025

React MUI is a UI library that provides fully-loaded components, bringing our own design system to our production-ready components. MUI is a user interface library that provides predefined and customizable React components for faster and easy web development, these Material-UI components are based on top of Material Design by Google.

React MUI Radio Group Input is a group radio button that allows the user to select one option from a set. It must consist of the most commonly used option selected by default.

Radio Input variants:

Radio group: It is a wrapper used to group multiple radio components.
Standalone radio buttons: The radio buttons can be used standalone, without the RadioGroup wrapper.
Size: The size prop is used to control the radio sizes.
Color: The color prop is used to add the radio colors like secondary, success, and default.
Label placement: The label placement can be changed with the FormControlLabel component's labelPlacement prop.
Show error: An error will be displayed if no value is selected when the form is submitted.
Customization: A radio can be customized with custom styles.
useRadioGroup: A useRadioGroup() hook is used for advanced customization.
Accessibility: To make it accessible make sure to have all form controls like having labels, etc.
API: The <FormControl />, <FormControlLabel />, <FormLabel />, <Radio />, <RadioGroup /> APIs are used.

Syntax:

<FormControl>
    <FormLabel>Label</FormLabel>
    <RadioGroup>
        <FormControlLabel control={<Radio />} 
                label="option1" />
        <FormControlLabel control={<Radio />} 
                label="option2" />
    </RadioGroup>
</FormControl>
