When to use

Editor formatting and alignment controls kept as one set, such as bold, italic, underline or justify
View, column layout and theme switchers where the pressed item holds the current choice
Short option rows for a time range, status, sort order, billing period, channels or device settings

When not to use

Related actions such as export, zoom or playback joined in one strip with no pressed state: use the Button Group component
A single on or off control such as bookmark or mute that stands on its own: use the Toggle component
Labelled settings in a list, each flipped on or off beside its own text: use the Switch component

Agent notes

The base twin picks one item unless multiple is set and always takes an array defaultValue; the radix twin needs type single or multiple
No example passes value to ToggleGroup or reads a change back, so the pick stays inside the group; control it to act on the choice
A second click on a pressed ToggleGroupItem releases it in both twins, so even a single choice group can end with nothing picked

Shadcn Toggle Group: Exclusive and Multi-Select Buttons

Shadcn Toggle Group is a wrapper for multiple Shadcn Toggle buttons that enforces exclusivity (radio-like) or allows multiple selections. Built on Radix UI primitives, it follows WAI-ARIA radio and button group semantics.

Use for view modes (list, grid, kanban), sorting options, or filter states where one or more selections are active. Shadcn Create style options apply to button colors and spacing so your design tokens flow into exported code.

ReUI lists toggle-group components inside dashboards, editors, and view controllers so you evaluate button sizing, icon clarity, and responsiveness next to real workflows. The sections below explain what it is, why teams use it, which features matter, and how it pairs with other components.

What is Shadcn Toggle Group?

A toggle group is a set of two-state buttons where one or more can be active at once. Shadcn Toggle Group uses the Radix UI Toggle Group primitive with exclusive (radio) or multiple selection modes. It manages focus and ARIA attributes so keyboard and screen reader users can navigate and select.

Components here show exclusive (only one active) and multiple-selection groups, icons, text labels, and responsive sizing. They help you decide whether toggle group or Shadcn Radio Group or Shadcn Button Group fits your use case.

Why Use Shadcn Toggle Group?

Teams use toggle groups for view switching (list, grid, details), sorting order (ascending, descending), or status filters (pending, active, completed). A toggle group makes the selected state explicit and avoids dropdown fatigue when only 2 to 4 options exist.

The layouts on this page show how toggle groups integrate with filters, view modes, and dashboards.

Shadcn Toggle Group Features

Radix UI Toggle Group Foundation. Built on Radix UI. Enforces exclusivity via type="single" or allows multiple selections via type="multiple".
Exclusive (Radio-like) Selection. type="single" ensures only one button can be active. Clicking a different button deselects the previous one.
Multi-Select Mode. type="multiple" allows multiple buttons to be active simultaneously. Useful for filter combinations.
Icon and Text Support. Each ToggleGroupItem can show icons from Lucide, text labels, or both. Customize via Tailwind utilities.
Keyboard Navigation. Arrow keys navigate between buttons. Space or Enter activates the button. Full WCAG compliance for radio or button group components.

Use toggle-group for view mode switching alongside Shadcn Table or Shadcn Card content to let users choose list, grid, or kanban display.

Combine toggle-group with filters: pair view toggles with a Shadcn Select or Shadcn Popover for additional filter options.

Add Shadcn Tooltip on icon-only toggle group items to clarify their purpose for keyboard and screen reader users.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use toggle-group vs radio-group vs checkbox-group?

Toggle-group for single-select visual controls (alignment, text formatting). Radio-group for single-select with clear options (payment method). Checkbox-group for multi-select with clear options. Choose based on visual design intent.

How do I implement single vs multiple selection in toggle-group?

Single-select: <ToggleGroup type="single" value={selected} onValueChange={setSelected}> (only one toggle active). Multiple-select: type="multiple" allows multiple toggles active simultaneously.

How do I make toggle-group icons-only and accessible?

Use icons without visible text and add aria-label to each toggle: <Toggle value="bold" aria-label="Bold"><Bold /></Toggle>. The group announces selection state to screen readers.

Can I disable specific toggles in a toggle-group?

Yes. Set disabled on individual Toggle elements: <Toggle value="italic" disabled>. Disabled toggles look unavailable and don't respond to clicks.

How do I integrate toggle-group with forms?

Use React Hook Form's register: <ToggleGroup {...register('alignment')} type="single">. The selected value is submitted as form data.

What ARIA roles are needed for accessible toggle-group?

The group needs role="group" or role="toolbar" depending on context. Individual toggles need aria-pressed="true/false" to announce state. ToggleGroup components handle this automatically.
