Measured entry

shadcn-radio-group

radio-groupunclassified

A client-side React wrapper around Radix UI radio primitives, shipped as TypeScript source with Tailwind utility classes. It uses a Lucide circle for the selected state and expects the shadcn cn helper, whose usual implementation relies on clsx and tailwind-merge.

Verdict

A dependable choice for an existing shadcn stack. It behaved cleanly in the harness and needs no provider, but its dependency cost is high for such a small control and the source assumes shadcn-flavored styling conventions.

Use it if

  • You need an accessible single-choice control that supports keyboard interaction and disabled or invalid states.
  • Your app already uses shadcn conventions, Tailwind theme tokens, and the shared cn utility.
  • You want a small composable primitive that leaves labels, descriptions, and layout to the caller.

Skip it if

  • You want a dependency-light native radio input and do not need Radix behavior.
  • Your project does not use Tailwind and you do not want to translate the utility classes into local CSS.
  • You need a complete field component with labels, validation messages, and form-library wiring included.

Bare installfails once the shadcn-style helpers are removed, so it needs that setup
Providerno provider required in the harness

In a non-shadcn project, add Radix UI and Lucide React, provide a cn class-merging helper backed by clsx and tailwind-merge, configure Tailwind, and define equivalents for the theme tokens used by the border, ring, primary, input, and destructive classes. Replace the alias import with your local utility path.
