import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';

// Imported Syncfusion radiobutton module from buttons package.
import { RadioButtonModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-buttons';

  declarations: [ AppComponent ],
  bootstrap:    [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }

Adding Syncfusion RadioButton component

Modify the template in app.component.ts file to render the RadioButton component.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  template: `<!-- To Render RadioButton. -->
             <ejs-radiobutton label="Default"></ejs-radiobutton>`
})
export class AppComponent  { }

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<ul>
               <!-- To Render RadioButton. -->
               <li><ejs-radiobutton label="Option 1" name="default"></ejs-radiobutton></li>

               <li><ejs-radiobutton label="Option 2" name="default" checked="true"></ejs-radiobutton></li>
               </ul>`
})

export class AppComponent { }

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { RadioButtonModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-buttons';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

enableRipple(true);

/**
 * Module
 */
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        RadioButtonModule
    ],
    declarations: [AppComponent],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';

enableProdMode();
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);

Change the RadioButton state

The Essential JS 2 RadioButton contains 2 different states visually, they are as follows:

Checked
Unchecked

The RadioButton checked property is used to handle the checked and unchecked state. In the checked state an inner circle will be added to the visualization of RadioButton.
