Radio Group: HextaUI and shadcn/ui

The HextaUI Radio group keeps the shadcn/ui names and theme tokens and installs with the same CLI. This page lists what differs, read from the source of both. The shadcn/ui side is its base-vega registry as of 2026-10-16.

Props HextaUI adds

Props the HextaUI wrapper handles itself that the shadcn/ui wrapper does not. Props passed straight through to Base UI or the underlying library are left out, because both versions accept them.

Prop	What it does
`variant`RadioGroup	card adds the sliding selection ring.
`radioClassName`RadioGroupCard	Classes for the radio inside the card.

The HextaUI version

All new messagesDirect messages and mentionsNothing

import { RadioGroup, RadioGroupItem } from "@/components/ui/radio-group"

const options = [
  { value: "all", label: "All new messages" },
  { value: "mentions", label: "Direct messages and mentions" },
  { value: "none", label: "Nothing" },
]

export function RadioGroupDemo() {
  return (
    <RadioGroup
      aria-label="Notify me about"
      defaultValue="mentions"
      className="w-fit"
    >
      {options.map((option) => (
        <label key={option.value} className="flex items-center gap-3 text-sm">
          <RadioGroupItem value={option.value} />
          {option.label}
        </label>
      ))}
    </RadioGroup>
  )
}

Every state, the keyboard map and the API reference are on the component page.

6 of its examples also have a page of their own.

Switch one component

Run the add command with --overwrite to replace the shadcn/ui file in @/components/ui, then review the diff in git before you keep it. Imports stay the same, and components you don’t replace keep working.

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add https://hextaui.com/r/radio-group.json --overwrite

Every prop in the table above is an addition, so call sites written for shadcn/ui don’t pass it yet.
Check any part or variant listed only for shadcn/ui before you switch, and map it to the closest HextaUI one.
