Bootstrap Vue Floating labels

Bootstrap Vue floating label component. Create beautifully simple form labels that float over your input fields.

Example

Wrap a pair of <CFormInput> and <CFormLabel> elements in CFormFloating to enable floating labels with textual form fields. A placeholder is required on each <CFormInput> as our method of CSS-only floating labels uses the :placeholder-shown pseudo-element. Also note that the <CFormInput> must come first so we can utilize a sibling selector (e.g., ~).

<CFormFloating class="mb-3">
  <CFormInput type="email" id="floatingInput" placeholder="[email protected]" />
  <CFormLabel for="floatingInput">Email address</CFormLabel>
</CFormFloating>
<CFormFloating>
  <CFormInput type="password" id="floatingPassword" placeholder="Password" />
  <CFormLabel for="exampleFormControlPassword">Password</CFormLabel>
</CFormFloating>

When there's a value already defined, <CFormLabel>s will automatically adjust to their floated position.

<CFormFloating>
  <CFormInput
    type="email"
    id="floatingInputValue"
    placeholder="[email protected]"
    value="[email protected]"
  />
  <CFormLabel for="floatingInputValue">Input with value</CFormLabel>
</CFormFloating>

Textareas

By default, <CFormTextarea>s will be the same height as <CFormInput>s.

<CFormFloating>
  <CFormTextarea
    id="floatingTextarea"
    placeholder="Leave a comment here"
  ></CFormTextarea>
  <CFormLabel for="floatingTextarea">Comments</CFormLabel>
</CFormFloating>

To set a custom height on your <CFormTextarea>, do not use the rows attribute. Instead, set an explicit height (either inline or via custom CSS).

<CFormFloating>
  <CFormTextarea
    placeholder="Leave a comment here"
    id="floatingTextarea2"
    style="height: 100px"
  ></CFormTextarea>
  <CFormLabel for="floatingTextarea2">Comments</CFormLabel>
</CFormFloating>

Selects

Other than <CFormInput>, floating labels are only available on <CFormSelect>s. They work in the same way, but unlike <CFormInput>s, they'll always show the <CFormLabel> in its floated state. Selects with size and multiple are not supported.

<CFormFloating>
  <CFormSelect id="floatingSelect" aria-label="Floating label select example">
    <option>Open this select menu</option>
    <option value="1">One</option>
    <option value="2">Two</option>
    <option value="3">Three</option>
  </CFormSelect>
  <CFormLabel for="floatingSelect">Works with selects</CFormLabel>
</CFormFloating>

Layout

When working with the Bootstrap Vue grid system, be sure to place form elements within column classes.

<CRow :xs="{gutter: 2}">
  <CCol md>
    <CFormFloating>
      <CFormInput type="email" id="floatingInputGrid" placeholder="[email protected]" value="[email protected]" />
      <CFormLabel for="floatingInputGrid">Email address</CFormLabel>
    </CFormFloating>
  </CCol>
  <CCol md>
    <CFormFloating>
      <CFormSelect id="floatingSelectGrid" aria-label="Floating label select example">
        <option>Open this select menu</option>
        <option value="1">One</option>
        <option value="2">Two</option>
        <option value="3">Three</option>
      </CFormSelect>
      <CFormLabel for="floatingSelectGrid">Works with selects</CFormLabel>
    </CFormFloating>
  </CCol>
</CRow>
