# Conditionally Display Choice Options (Vanilla JS)

Multiple-choice questions, such as [Checkboxes](/form-library/examples/create-checkboxes-question-in-javascript/) or [Radio Button Group](/form-library/examples/single-select-radio-button-group/), allow you to show and hide choice options conditionally. The configuration object of each choice option supports a `visibleIf` property that accepts a Boolean expression. Each time this expression evaluates to `true`, the choice option becomes visible. In this demo, you can provide an email address, phone number, or Telegram nickname, and the survey will prompt you to select your preferred contact option. The `visibleIf` property is used to display a contact option only if a user has provided it.

As an alternative, you can use a question's [`choicesVisibleIf`](https://surveyjs.io/form-library/documentation/api-reference/checkbox-question-model#choicesVisibleIf) property. This property also accepts a Boolean expression, but the expression is evaluated for each choice option individually to determine its visibility.
