Validating a yes/no radio group #25

Closed boyankostov closed 6 years ago

boyankostov commented 6 years ago

Hey, how do I setup a yes/no radio group? I tried placing required on both fields and separately on each one, to no avail. It only accepts Yes as a possible answer.

Hi @boyankostov and thank you for your report.

From Web Standards perspective you should be able to put at least one required on any input in a group to make a whole group required, however, it is recommended to put required attribute on every input in a group.

Currently, yes, Bunny Validation is not taking this case of radio button group into account and thinks of every input as a separate input.

I will try to release an update this weekend.

Anyway from a UX perspective, it is not recommended to have a required radio button group without option selected by default, because user can not get back to initial state by unchecking the checked radio button.

I do prefer simple one checkbox for boolean inputs. Do you agree with terms? Then check a box, Do you want to receive email notifications? Then check the box and so on.

Thanks for the swift reply. I totally agree with you that it's a better UX approach to have an already selected option, but in this case I want to eliminate any bias and keep only one possible choice. Placing a single checkbox would also introduce bias in the results, cause this is not a turn on/off switch, but a question.

Thanks a bunch for taking this into account, I'll keep track of the thread.
