React Floating labels

Floating labels

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

Other Frameworks

CoreUI components are available as native Angular, Bootstrap (Vanilla JS), and Vue components. To learn more please visit the following pages.

Example#

Use floatingLabel property on <CFormInput>, <CFormSelect> or <CFormTextarea> to enable floating labels with textual form fields. A placeholder is required on each <CFormInput>, <CFormSelect> and <CFormTextarea> as our method of CSS-only floating labels uses the :placeholder-shown pseudo-element.

Email address

Password

You can create the same form control by wrapping 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 className="mb-3">
  <CFormInput type="email" id="floatingInput" placeholder="[email protected]" />
  <CFormLabel htmlFor="floatingInput">Email address</CFormLabel>
</CFormFloating>
<CFormFloating>
  <CFormInput type="password" id="floatingPassword" placeholder="Password" />
  <CFormLabel htmlFor="exampleFormControlTextarea1">Password</CFormLabel>
</CFormFloating>

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

Input with value

Form validation styles also work as expected.

Email addresss

Textareas#

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

Comments

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).

Comments

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.

Layout#

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