<mwc-formfield>

IMPORTANT: The Material Web Components are a work in progress and subject to major changes until 1.0 release.

A form field is a text caption for MWC input elements including <mwc-checkbox>, <mwc-radio>, and <mwc-switch>.

It is equivalent to the native <label> element in that it forwards user interaction events to the input element. For example, tapping on the label causes the associated input element to toggle and focus.

Material Design Guidelines: Selection controls

Installation

npm install @material/mwc-formfield

NOTE: The Material Web Components are distributed as ES2017 JavaScript Modules, and use the Custom Elements API. They are compatible with all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and IE11, but an additional tooling step is required to resolve bare module specifiers, as well as transpilation and polyfills for Edge and IE11. See here for detailed instructions.
