What should we call this drop-down alternative?
Reading this article on better form design, one of its tips is to "Show all selection options if under 6", as opposed to hiding the options in a dropdown list.
See this example they provide:
I've seen this pattern before and intuitively understood it, but somehow I never thought of it as an alternative to dropdowns. I don't think it's a hard and fast rule to say "under 6", but it is a helpful tool to add to our toolbox.
I want to document this pattern in our library but I don't know what to call it.
Bootstrap documents how to convert buttons into checkboxes or radio buttons, but doesn't give this option a succint name. Material doesn't cover this in their components guidelines.
What would you call this?
