ESLint is Now Language-Agnostic: Linting JSON, Markdown, and Beyond
ESLint has added JSON and Markdown linting support with new officially-supported plugins, expanding its versatility beyond JavaScript.
@material/floating-label
Advanced tools
@material/floating-label is a package from the Material Components for the Web (MDC Web) library. It provides a floating label component that can be used in form fields to enhance user experience by animating the label when the input field is focused or filled.
Basic Floating Label
This code snippet demonstrates how to create a basic floating label using the @material/floating-label package. The label will float above the input field when the field is focused or filled.
<div class="mdc-floating-label" id="my-label-id">My Label</div>
Floating Label with Input
This example shows how to use the floating label in conjunction with an input field. The label will float above the input field when the user interacts with it.
<div class="mdc-text-field">
<input type="text" class="mdc-text-field__input" aria-labelledby="my-label-id">
<label class="mdc-floating-label" id="my-label-id">My Label</label>
</div>
JavaScript Initialization
This code demonstrates how to initialize the floating label component using JavaScript. This is useful for adding dynamic behavior to the floating label.
import { MDCFloatingLabel } from '@material/floating-label';
const floatingLabel = new MDCFloatingLabel(document.querySelector('.mdc-floating-label'));
react-floating-label-input is a React component that provides similar functionality to @material/floating-label. It allows you to create floating labels for input fields in a React application. Unlike @material/floating-label, which is part of the MDC Web library, react-floating-label-input is specifically designed for React.
floating-label-react is another React component for creating floating labels. It offers similar features to @material/floating-label but is tailored for use in React applications. It provides a simple API for integrating floating labels with input fields.
vue-mdc-adapter is a library that integrates Material Components for the Web with Vue.js. It includes a floating label component similar to @material/floating-label. This package is ideal for Vue.js developers who want to use Material Design components in their applications.
Floating labels display the type of input a field requires. Every text field and select should have a label. Labels are aligned with the input line and always visible. They can be resting (when a field is inactive and empty) or floating. The label is a text caption or description for the text field.
<label class="mdc-floating-label" for="my-text-field-id">Hint text</label>
mdc-text-field
<div class="mdc-text-field">
<input type="text" id="my-text-field-id" class="mdc-text-field__input">
<label class="mdc-floating-label" for="my-text-field-id">Hint text</label>
<div class="mdc-text-field__bottom-line"></div>
</div>
If you're using the JavaScript-enabled version of floating label, you can avoid needing to assign
a unique id
to each <input>
by wrapping mdc-text-field__input
within a <label>
:
<label class="mdc-text-field">
<input type="text" class="mdc-text-field__input">
<span class="mdc-floating-label">Hint Text</span>
<div class="mdc-text-field__bottom-line"></div>
</label>
