Know when Toggle Group is the right part

Use it when

Use it for related view, formatting, or filter commands whose pressed state is meaningful.

Choose another path when

Use Toggle for one command, RadioGroup for form choices, and Tabs for panel navigation. Required selection and persistence remain application policy.

Installation and imports

tsx

import { ToggleGroup } from "@flowstack-ui/brick/toggle-group";
import "@flowstack-ui/brick/styles.css";

The complete stylesheet above is the recommended default. For a measured route-aware build, replace it with the shared foundation and this component's stylesheet:

tsx

import "@flowstack-ui/brick/styles/core.css"; // once at the application root
import "@flowstack-ui/brick/styles/toggle-group.css";

Add the modular stylesheet for every other Brick component the route renders. Do not combine modular styles with styles.css or tokens.css.

Quick start

tsx

<ToggleGroup.Root aria-label="Alignment" defaultValue="start">
  <ToggleGroup.Item value="start">Start</ToggleGroup.Item>
  <ToggleGroup.Item value="center">Center</ToggleGroup.Item>
</ToggleGroup.Root>

Visual recipes and states

Root recipes cascade uniformly to Items. Separated groups use a gap and may wrap; attached groups join borders and logical corners. fullWidth distributes Items evenly. Every variant retains a distinct selected treatment.

Examples

tsx

<ToggleGroup.Root type="multiple" attached defaultValue={["bold"]}>
  <ToggleGroup.Item value="bold">Bold</ToggleGroup.Item>
  <ToggleGroup.Item value="italic">Italic</ToggleGroup.Item>
</ToggleGroup.Root>

Public contract

API

Start with the public parts and root options below. Components with multiple parts separate each area into its own named subsection.

Public exports are ToggleGroup, ToggleGroupRoot, ToggleGroupItem, ToggleGroupRootProps, ToggleGroupSingleProps, ToggleGroupMultipleProps, and ToggleGroupItemProps.

Root is a discriminated union: single mode uses type?: "single", string values, and (value: string) => void; multiple mode requires type="multiple", string-array values, and a string-array callback.

Root prop	Values	Default
`variant`	`solid`, `soft`, `outline`, `ghost`	`soft`
`size`	`sm`, `md`, `lg`	`md`
`shape`	`rounded`, `pill`	`rounded`
`attached`	`boolean`	`false`
`fullWidth`	`boolean`	`false`

Item prop	Values	Default
`iconOnly`	`boolean`	`false`

Item requires value. Atom supplies orientation, direction, looping, disabled state, composition, and native props. Native color is excluded.

Shared responsibility

Accessibility

Atom owns group semantics, aria-pressed, roving focus, arrows, Home/End, looping, and disabled-item skipping. Give Root a name when context is insufficient and give every Item a stable complete name.

Responsive behavior

Separated horizontal groups can wrap; vertical groups stack. Attached groups do not wrap. Logical corners and Atom arrow behavior respect direction.

Stable visual contract

Styling and tokens

Customization

Set group props first so Items remain consistent, then use public group/Toggle tokens. Use part className or style only for scoped exceptions.

Tokens and CSS hooks

Stable hooks are .brick-toggle-group, .brick-toggle-group-item, their Atom slots/state attributes, and Root data-orientation, data-attached, data-full-width, data-variant, data-size, and data-shape. Item exposes data-state, data-value, data-disabled, and data-icon-only. Public tokens are --brick-toggle-group-gap, --brick-toggle-min-block-size, --brick-toggle-padding-inline, --brick-toggle-gap, --brick-toggle-radius, and --brick-toggle-icon-size.

Advanced reference

Open these details only when you need to inspect DOM ownership, native forwarding, or lower-level composition.
