Vue Floating labels

Vue 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 React components. To learn more please visit the following pages.

• Angular Floating Labels
• Bootstrap Floating Labels
• React Floating Labels

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

<CFormInput type="email" id="floatingInput" floatingLabel="Email address" placeholder="[email protected]" />
<CFormInput type="password" id="floatingPassword" floatingLabel="Password" placeholder="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 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.

Input with value

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

Form validation styles also work as expected.

Email addresss

Email addresss

<CFormInput
  class="mb-3"
  type="email"
  id="floatingInputInvalid"
  floatingLabel="Email addresss"
  placeholder="[email protected]"
  valid
  value="[email protected]"
/>
<CFormInput
  type="email"
  id="floatingInputInvalid"
  invalid
  floatingLabel="Email addresss"
  placeholder="[email protected]"
  value="[email protected]"
/>

Textareas #

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

Comments

<CFormFloating>
  <CFormTextarea
    id="floatingTextarea"
    floatingLabel="Comments"
    placeholder="Leave a comment here"
  ></CFormTextarea>
</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).

Comments

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