ToggleButtonGroup
ToggleButtonGroup allows users to trigger actions or events with a single click
anywhere within the button container. Users can also trigger a button by
pressing Enter or Space while the button has focus.
Import
import { ToggleButtonGroup } from '@dynatrace/strato-components-preview/forms';
Use cases
Control the state
The ToggleButtonGroup supports controlled behavior, enabling direct management
of its state. This is achieved by passing a handler to the onChange prop,
which is invoked whenever the internal state changes. The updated state can then
be passed to the value prop to apply the new selection.
Icons
Icons can be placed before or after the text in the ToggleButtonGroup.Item. If
an item only displays an icon, include a tooltip describing what the icon
represents.
Disable options
The ToggleButtonGroup offers two disable options. You can disable the entire
group or disable specific buttons. To implement either option, apply the
disabled prop to the target element (either the group or an individual
button).
Width
The width property of the ToggleButtonGroup component accepts three types of
values:
content: adjusts the width to fit the content,full: expands to the full available width,- Custom string values (e.g., "400px"): allows specifying an exact width.
Validation
The ToggleButtonGroup supports an error state, which can be triggered in two
primary ways:
- Form submission: If the form containing the
ToggleButtonGroupis submitted with invalid or missing data, the component can reflect the error state. - Validation function: Validation logic can be applied to determine whether the selected value meets the required criteria.
This example demonstrates how to show users an validation message using
FormFieldMessages.
