## Code

### Component

```ts
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { MbscModule, setOptions } from '@mobiscroll/angular';

setOptions({
  theme: 'ios',
  themeVariant: 'light'
});

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root', 
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule, FormsModule, MbscModule],
})
export class AppComponent {
  group = 'opt1';
  colors = 'success';
}
```

### Template

```html
<mbsc-page>
  <div class="mbsc-form-group">
    <div class="mbsc-form-group-title">Radio buttons</div>
    <mbsc-radio-group [(ngModel)]="group">
      <mbsc-radio label="Radio Option 1" description="This is description for radio 1" value="opt1"></mbsc-radio>
      <mbsc-radio label="Radio Option 2" description="This is description for radio 2" value="opt2"></mbsc-radio>
      <mbsc-radio label="Radio Option 3" value="opt3"></mbsc-radio>
      <mbsc-radio label="Disabled" [disabled]="true" value="opt4"></mbsc-radio>
    </mbsc-radio-group>
  </div>

    <div class="mbsc-form-group-title">Radio button colors</div>
    <mbsc-radio-group [(ngModel)]="colors">
      <mbsc-radio label="Primary" color="primary" value="primary"></mbsc-radio>
      <mbsc-radio label="Secondary" color="secondary" value="secondary"></mbsc-radio>
      <mbsc-radio label="Success" color="success" value="success"></mbsc-radio>
      <mbsc-radio label="Danger" color="danger" value="danger"></mbsc-radio>
      <mbsc-radio label="Warning" color="warning" value="warning"></mbsc-radio>
      <mbsc-radio label="Info" color="info" value="info"></mbsc-radio>
    </mbsc-radio-group>
  </div>
</mbsc-page>
```

## Implementation notes

- Radios are grouped with `RadioGroup`/`mbsc-radio-group` (JS/jQuery: a `div` carrying the `mbsc-radio-group` attribute); an individual option is `Radio`/`mbsc-radio`/`input[mbsc-radio][type="radio"]`.
- Mutual exclusivity within a group comes from a shared `name`: set on the group in React/Vue (`RadioGroup name="group"`), or on each input in JS/jQuery and Angular.
- `label` sets an option's primary text; `description` (`data-description` in JS/jQuery) adds secondary explanatory text beneath the label.
- Selection state is bound differently per framework: Angular and Vue bind the selected value on the group itself (`[(ngModel)]="group"` in Angular, `v-model="radio"` in Vue) with each option supplying its own `value`; React marks the initially selected option with `defaultChecked={true}`; JS/jQuery marks it with the plain `checked` attribute on that option's input.
- `disabled` makes a single option non-selectable: React `disabled={true}`, Vue `:disabled="true"`, Angular `[disabled]="true"`, JS/jQuery the bare `disabled` attribute.
- `color` (`data-color` in JS/jQuery) sets a preset color per option: `primary`, `secondary`, `success`, `danger`, `warning`, `info`.
