Props

RadioGroup

Name	Type	Required	Description
`isRequired`	`boolean`		Indicates to the user whether or not a radio button is required to submit the form. If a field is required, an asterisk appears at the end of that field’s label. Defaults to `false`
`label`	`string`	Yes	The label text to display.
`name`	`string`	Yes	The key to which the selected radio button is assigned in the returned form object.
`description`	`string`		The text description of the radio group.
`children`	`Array<Radio>`	Yes	The radio buttons in the group. Each `Radio` button is defined by a `label` that sets the radio button's text and return a `value` unique within the group if the radio button is selected. One can have a `defaultChecked` property set to true to be the selected on initial load.
`onChange`	`(value: string) => void \| Promise`	No	An event handler that can be asynchronous. Allows you to read values from the component without having to submit as part of a `Form`.

Radio

Name	Type	Required	Description
`defaultChecked`	`boolean`		Whether this radio button is initially selected. Defaults to `false`
`label`	`string`	Yes	The label text to display.
`value`	`string`	Yes	The value of the property when submitted. Empty if not selected.
