Animated Radio Tab Toggles

+

2021-01-05

+

In this demo tutorial, we are making the assumption that we need to create a radio slide toggle for our made-up payment options. For this we want to display 3 simple payment choices to the user:

+ +

The Final Demo

+

Live CodePen

+

Let’s get started with the base skeleton.

+

The HTML

+
<div class="radio-toggles">
+    <input type="radio" id="option-1" name="radio-options">
+    <label for="option-1">One-Time</label>
+    <input type="radio" id="option-2" name="radio-options" checked>
+    <label for="option-2">Recurring</label>
+    <input type="radio" id="option-3" name="radio-options">
+    <label for="option-3">Free</label>
+    <div class="slide-item"></div>
+</div>
+
+

The CSS

+

Now for the main event – the CSS. First we want to style the wrapper that holds all of our pieces together. You can tweak this to your liking, but I prefer a simple and clean style:

+
.radio-toggles {
+    align-items: center;
+    background: #eee;
+    border: 1px solid lightgrey;
+    border-radius: 9999px;
+    display: flex;
+    justify-content: center;
+    margin: 20px auto;
+    max-width: 400px;
+    overflow: hidden;
+    padding: 4px;
+    position: relative;
+}
+
+

Next, we “hide” (only visually) the default radio inputs:

+
input[type="radio"] {
+    left: -9999px;
+    position: absolute;
+    z-index: -1;
+}
+
+

Then we give the corresponding label elements a little spacing and breathing room:

+
label {
+    cursor: pointer;
+    padding: 10px 20px;
+    text-align: center;
+    width: 33.33%;
+    z-index: 2;
+}
+
+

Remember that .slide-item I referenced earlier? That element will be the visual “slider” that animates between the individual radio options. We style that like so:

+
.slide-item {
+    background: white;
+    border-radius: 9999px;
+    box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.15);
+    height: calc(100% - 8px);
+    left: calc(33.33% + 4px);
+    position: absolute;
+    width: calc(33.33% - 8px);
+    transition: left .4s;
+    z-index: 0;
+}
+
+

You’ll notice the left, height, and width properties utilize the CSS calc attributes – this just gives some much needed padding and visual clean-up to the whole tabbed interface.

+

For the finishing touches, we just need to tell the .slide-item where to position itself based on which radio input is currently selected:

+
input[type="radio"]:nth-of-type(1):checked ~ .slide-item {
+    left: 4px;
+}
+input[type="radio"]:nth-of-type(3):checked ~ .slide-item {
+    left: calc(66.66% + 4px);
+}
+
+

That’s pretty much it! You now have a fully functional, animated toggle slider with just a set of simple radio inputs and pure CSS.
