ToggleGroup

ToggleGroup is an alias over the Segmented machine, so single and multiple selection behave identically in both. All four layers share the one behaviour contract.

Live machine

The same segmented machine in multiple mode — SELECT toggles membership instead of replacing the value.

The layers

Machine is pure state with no DOM. Headless maps that state to framework-native anatomy and ARIA. Styled keeps the existing Grassroot visual recipe while delegating behaviour. Vanilla mounts the same headless contract without a framework.

Behaviour contract

The machine owns shared Segmented/ToggleGroup value semantics, disabled guards, and roving focus. Adapters translate DOM events and render machine snapshots. Not one of them keeps a second reducer or re-filters the collection behind your back.

Controlled bindings emit serialisable change requests, and only adopt the parent's state once it comes back in through input.
Uncontrolled bindings commit straight to machine state, and still emit the same request object, so a consumer can watch either way.
Keyboard, pointer, focus, dismissal, and accessibility behaviour are shared across vanilla, React, Vue, Solid, Svelte, and Angular.
