Accessibility

• Full keyboard navigation support
• Screen reader accessible with proper ARIA attributes
• Focus management between radio items
• Arrow key navigation within groups

Styling

The Radio Group components use DarkSnow UI design tokens:

• Container: Grid layout with configurable gap
• Items: Circular border with accent colors
• Indicator: Filled circle when selected
• Focus: Ring outline on focus

Best Practices

1. Always use labels: Associate each radio item with a descriptive label
2. Logical grouping: Group related options together
3. Default selection: Consider providing a sensible default value
4. Clear options: Make option text clear and distinct
5. Appropriate sizing: Use consistent spacing between options
