The vf-form__radio can be used when a site visitor has a choice of options but can only pick one.
Use a group of vf-form__radio when you have a set of options for the site visitor but you only want them to be able to pick one.
Do not use the vf-form__radio when you only want the site visitor to pick one option from the options. For this use case you should only used the vf-radio button component.
A vf-form__radio must be accompanied by a vf-form__label inside a vf-form__item with the vf-form__item--radii variant.
You can also use the vf-form__helper to add some more descriptive, explanitory text under the vf-form__label. See the examples for the correct markup.
The .vf-form__radio needs to grouped into a vf-form__fieldset and using the vf-form__label to help the site visitor understand what they are choosing for.
Generally the vf-form__fieldset will use the vf-stack layout component to stack the vf-form__radio on top of each other. You can set these to be inline by using the vf-cluster layout component as well. See the examples for the correct markup.
Depending on your environment you'll want to use render or include. As a rule of thumb: server-side use include, precompiled browser use render. If you're using vf-eleventy you should use include.
includeYou'll need to pass a context object from your code or Yaml file (example), as well as the path to the Nunjucks template. Nunjucks' include is an abstraction of render and provides some additional portability.
