<p-radiobutton [(ngModel)]="value" [value]="1" [disabled]="true" /> <p-radiobutton [(ngModel)]="value" [value]="2" [disabled]="true" />

<p-radiobutton [(ngModel)]="value" [invalid]="!value" />

<form #exampleForm="ngForm" (ngSubmit)="onSubmit(exampleForm)" class="flex flex-col gap-4"> <div class="flex flex-wrap gap-4"> @for (category of categories; track category.name) { <div class="flex items-center gap-2"> <p-radiobutton [(ngModel)]="ingredient" [inputId]="category.key" [value]="category" [invalid]="isInvalid(exampleForm)" name="ingredient" /> <label [for]="category.key"> {{ category.name }} </label> </div> } </div> @if (isInvalid(exampleForm)) { <p-message severity="error" size="small" variant="simple"> At least one ingredient must be selected. </p-message> } <button pButton severity="secondary" type="submit">
