floating-label-react

A floating-label component using react without any dependencies

This react component exists to provide a simple API for floating label inputs in react, while still being fully customizeable.

Installation

Use npm, yarn, or whatever npm package manager variant you use to install floating-label-react

# npm
npm install floating-label-react

# yarn
yarn add floating-label-react

Usage

FloatingLabel takes in most standard input attributes available in HTML5.

Basic usage

It's important to note that as of 1.0, floating-label-react is now a display component only. This means you need to manage form state via react-final-form, formik, something similar, your own custom state machine.

import FloatingLabel from "floating-label-react";

<FloatingLabel
  id="email"
  name="email"
  placeholder="Your email"
  type="email"
  value={this.state.value}
  onChange={evt => this.setState(() => ({ value: evt.currentTarget.value }))}
/>;

Textarea vs. Input

If you'd like a textarea instead, use the component prop.

import FloatingLabel from "floating-label-react";

<FloatingLabel
  id="email"
  component="textarea"
  name="email"
  placeholder="Your email"
  type="email"
  value={this.state.value}
  onChange={evt => this.setState(() => ({ value: evt.currentTarget.value }))}
/>;

Styling

FloatingLabel is fully stylable through the className prop. This works well with vanilla CSS, SASS, Less, styled-components, emotion, etc.!

import FloatingLabel from "floating-label-react";

<FloatingLabel
  id="email"
  name="email"
  placeholder="Your email"
  className="custom-class"
  type="email"
  value={this.state.value}
  onChange={evt => this.setState(() => ({ value: evt.currentTarget.value }))}
/>;

Additionally, a set of default styles are available within the package at styles.css. If your bundler support it, you can import them within your application.

import FloatingLabel from "floating-label-react";
import "floating-label-react/styles.css";

<FloatingLabel
  id="email"
  name="email"
  placeholder="Your email"
  type="email"
  value={this.state.value}
  onChange={evt => this.setState(() => ({ value: evt.currentTarget.value }))}
/>;
