`bind:group` can be used with component props with help of [bind-property](#bind:property-for-components):

```javascript
// sharedState.svelte.js
export const tortilla = $state({selectedValue: ""});
export const fillings = $state({selectedValues: []});
```

```svelte
<!-- App.svelte -->
<script>
import { tortilla, fillings } from './sharedState.svelte.js';
import Selection from './Selection.svelte';
</script>

<Selection bind:tortilla={tortilla.selectedValue} bind:fillings={fillings.selectedValues} />
```

```svelte
<!-- Selection.svelte -->
<script>
let { tortilla = $bindable(), fillings = $bindable() } = $props();
</script>

<label><input type="checkbox" bind:group={fillings} value="Guac (extra)" />Guac</label>
```

> [!NOTE] `bind:group` only works if the inputs are in the same Svelte component, you can't pass down a single $state to multiple components (with different values).


## `<input bind:files>`

On `<input>` elements with `type="file"`, you can use `bind:files` to get the [`FileList` of selected files](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/FileList). When you want to update the files programmatically, you always need to use a `FileList` object. Currently `FileList` objects cannot be constructed directly, so you need to create a new [`DataTransfer`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/DataTransfer) object and get `files` from there.
