Angular RadioButtonGroup Component
The RadioButtonGroup component for Angular allows you to create a group of radio buttons.
Prerequisites
Refer to Angular Getting Started before you start with this help topic.
Configuration
I. Imports
The RadioButtonGroup component for Angular requires the following imports.
II. @Component Decorator
A class is marked as an Angular component through the @Component decorator:
- selector - css selector that identifies this component in a template
- styles - inline-defined styles to be applied to this component's view
- styleUrls - list of urls to stylesheets to be applied to this component's view
- template - inline-defined template for the view
- templateUrl - url to an external file containing a template for the view
Every jQWidgets Angular component has an [auto-create] attribute which determines whether the component is automatically created or is created on demand by API method call.
By default, the [auto-create] attribute value is true.
III. Create the AppComponent class
The AppComponent class is used to instantiate the app. In some of the examples, we use @ViewChild and ngAfterViewInit.
-
@ViewChild: makes a reference using a RadioButtonGroup selector. ViewChild is used to get the first element matching the selector from the view DOM. If the view DOM changes, and a new child matches the selector, the property will be updated.
View queries are set before the ngAfterViewInit callback is called.
@ViewChild('myRadioButtonGroup') myRadioButtonGroup!: jqxRadioButtonGroup;
-
ngAfterViewInit - this is an Angular Component Lifecycle method in which we create our angular components. After the view is initialized,
myRadioButtonGroup
is available.
For more information about this methods please refer to Angular Component Lifecycle API
The following example demonstrates the jqxRadioButtonGroup
component for Angular.
app.component.htm
app.component.ts
IV. Create jqxRadioButtonGroup component with JSON
-
Add the imports.
import { Component, ViewChild, AfterViewInit } from '@angular/core';
import { jqxRadioButtonGroupComponent } from 'jqwidgets-ng/jqxRadioButtonGroup';
@Component decorator:
@Component({ selector: 'app-root', template: `<jqxRadioButtonGroup #myRadioButtonGroup></jqxRadioButtonGroup>` })
-
Create the AppComponent class.
-
@ViewChild: makes a reference using a QRcode selector. ViewChild is used to get the first element matching the selector from the view DOM. If the view DOM changes, and a new child matches the selector, the property will be updated.
View queries are set before the ngAfterViewInit callback is called.
@ViewChild('navBarReference') myRadioButtonGroup: jqxRadioButtonGroupComponent;
-
ngAfterViewInit: All Angular components have an integrated method called createComponent that accept a JSON object with the component initialization properties. If no argument is passed, default properties will be used. If you would like to dynamically set properties after creation, you can use the
setOptions
method.
ngAfterViewInit(): void { this.myRadioButtonGroup.createComponent(this.RadioButtonGroupSettings); }

The following example demonstrates how to create a RadioButtonGroup component for Angular by using the createComponent method.
Properties
The properties which are defined as attributes can be changed directly:
To get or set a property, which we did not define or call a method, we can do the following:
-
Import @ViewChild decorator:
-
Add the RadioButtonGroup component:
-
Get access to the RadioButtonGroup component and its API:
-
Finally, we can call methods or set/get properties like that:
Every component have a method setOptions
which accepts a JSON object as an argument.
This object contains component settings and you can use it to set a single or multiple properties dynamically.
Events
The resize
event is triggered when the jqxRadioButtonGroup is displayed.
The following example demonstrates how to add an event listener.
The only thing you need to do is to put
"on"
before the event name and upperCase it's first letter.
Methods
To invoke methods, you can use the jqxRadioButtonGroup reference.
( refresh() to refresh the widget ) - this.myRadioButtonGroup.refresh()
.
The following example demonstrates how to invoke methods of the jqxRadioButtonGroup
component for Angular.
