Usage#

The following segment provides instructions for designers and developers regarding the appropriate utilization of this component in various situations.

Do:

Use to enable a user to select one value from a predefined list. Use as soon as two options are mutually exclusive. Use

Checkbox instead if there is only one option.

Use when the user should see all available options.

Consider using the Segmented Control for 5 options or fewer.

Keep the label text short and descriptive (one or two words).

Select one option by default in a group of radio buttons, except for cases where a pre-selection can lead to wrong assumptions.

Align radio buttons with more than 2 items vertically left-aligned.

Don't:

Don't use a radio Button for a large number of items (≥ 7), use the Select or Segmented Control component instead.

DirectionThe dir global attribute in HTML changes the direction of text and other content within an element. It's most often used on the <html> tag to set the entire page's direction, which is crucial for supporting languages that are written from right to left (RTL), such as Arabic and Hebrew. For example, using <html dir="rtl"> makes the entire page display from right to left, adjusting the layout and text flow accordingly.

Text ZoomTo ensure accessibility and comply with WCAG 2.2 AA standards, it is mandatory for web content to support text resizing up to at least 200% without loss of content or functionality. Using relative units like rem is a best practice for achieving this, as they allow the text to scale uniformly based on the user's browser settings.
