Toggle Group
A set of two-state buttons with single or multiple selection and roving focus.
Preview
Controls
Device view renders in an isolated frame so real responsive breakpoints apply. Switch to Full for overflowing popovers.
Installation
php artisan ui:add toggle-group
Behavior layer (Alpine)
This component installs a self-registering Alpine module to
resources/js/ui/toggle-group.js. Import the behavior layer once
from your bundle so it loads (it hooks alpine:init):
import './toggle-group.js';

Guidance
Bounded compact selectionChoose from a bounded option set in limited space.
Use when
- Use when users choose among a bounded set and space efficiency matters more than always-visible comparison. Do not use for tiny lists or when users benefit from seeing all options at once.
Avoid when
- Avoid using toggle-group as a default simply because it is available in the library. Choose it only when its interaction cost, visibility, and behavior match the job to be done.
- Task length
- micro
- Interaction cost
- low
- Interruptiveness
- none
- Input precision
- constrained
- Mobile / touch risk
- low
- Accessibility risk
- medium
- Needs background context
- No
- Comparison needed
- No
Preferred alternatives
- Radio or checkbox for visible comparison
Anti-patterns
- Hiding tiny or high-frequency option sets

Usage
<div class="flex flex-col gap-6">
<x-ui.toggle-group type="single" name="align" value="center" aria-label="{{ __('Text alignment') }}">
<x-ui.toggle-group.item value="left">{{ __('Left') }}</x-ui.toggle-group.item>
<x-ui.toggle-group.item value="center">{{ __('Center') }}</x-ui.toggle-group.item>
<x-ui.toggle-group.item value="right">{{ __('Right') }}</x-ui.toggle-group.item>
</x-ui.toggle-group>
<x-ui.toggle-group type="multiple" name="format" aria-label="{{ __('Text formatting') }}">
<x-ui.toggle-group.item value="bold"><strong>{{ __('Bold') }}</strong></x-ui.toggle-group.item>
<x-ui.toggle-group.item value="italic"><em>{{ __('Italic') }}</em></x-ui.toggle-group.item>
<x-ui.toggle-group.item value="underline"><span class="underline">{{ __('Underline') }}</span></x-ui.toggle-group.item>
</x-ui.toggle-group>
</div>
Accessibility & localization
data-slot
Keyboard focus-visible
Localized labels
- Accessibility target: wcag-2.2-aa-target.
- Uses semantic HTML and a stable
data-slotattribute for styling/scripting hooks. - Focus-visible rings use the
ringtoken so keyboard focus is always visible. - Disabled and invalid states are conveyed to assistive tech, not by color alone.
- Targets WCAG 2.2 AA; verify contrast in light, dark, admin and customer surfaces above.
- Labels go through
__()and the component uses logical properties (ms-*,text-start,start-*) so it mirrors correctly — flip the preview to RTL to confirm.
