Getting Started 💡

First, let's include the jQuery and Controlgroup plugin in our HTML file:

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>

    <!-- Controlgroup Widget Example -->
</body>
</html>

Creating a Controlgroup 💡

Now, let's create a simple Controlgroup with radio buttons:

html

<div class="control-group" data-controlgroup>
    <input type="radio" id="option1" name="group1" value="Option 1" />
    <label for="option1">Option 1</label>

    <input type="radio" id="option2" name="group1" value="Option 2" />
    <label for="option2">Option 2</label>
</div>

Don't forget to add some CSS to style our Controlgroup:

css

.control-group {
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
}

.control-group label {
    margin-left: 10px;
}

Activating the Controlgroup Widget 💡

Finally, let's activate the Controlgroup Widget by adding the following jQuery code:

javascript

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('.control-group').controlgroup();
});

Now, when you run your HTML file, you should see a functioning Controlgroup with radio buttons!
