Custom Radio Button Component in React with Tailwind CSS

Radio Buttons are essential form elements, allowing users to select only one option from multiple choices.

They’re especially useful in settings menus, forms, or any scenario where a single-choice selection is required. While default radio buttons are functional, customizing them can make them more visually appealing and on-brand.

Looking to replace the boring default radio buttons in your React app?

This guide provides a custom radio button component built with React and Tailwind CSS. It’s fully styled, accessible, and ready to copy-paste into your forms, settings screens, or surveys.

This React radio button component is fully reusable with props, and you can easily modify the color, size, or shape of the UI.

✅ You can directly copy the code below into your React project.

Code Explanation

• Props: The component takes in props like name, id, value, onChange, checked, and text to control its behavior and display.
• Input Styling: The radio button is visually hidden (sr-only), while a styled span shows the selected state.
• Checked State: The inner span changes color when selected, making it clear to the user which option is active.

How Demo Works

• State Management: useState manages which theme option is selected. The onChangeTheme function updates the state when a user clicks on a radio button.
• Radio Button Interaction: Each RadioButton passes name, id, value, text, and onChange props, while checked controls the active selection.
