Tailwind CSS Radio - Flowbite

Get started with the radio component to let the user choose a single option from multiple options in the form of a circle based on multiple styles and colors

The radio component can be used to allow the user to choose a single option from one or more available options coded with the utility classes from Tailwind CSS and available in multiple styles, variants, and colors and support dark mode.

Make sure that you have included Flowbite as a plugin inside your Tailwind CSS project to apply all the necessary styles for the radio component.

Radio example #

Use the default example of a radio component with the checked and unchecked state.
