Svelte Floating Label - Flowbite

Use the floating label style for the input field elements to replicate the Material UI design system from Google and choose from multiple styles and sizes

The floating label style was first pioneered by Google in its infamous Material UI design system and it’s basically a label tag which floats just above the input field when it is being focused or already has content inside.

On this page you will find a three different input field styles including a standard, outlined, and filled style including validation styles and sizes coded with Tailwind CSS and supported for dark mode.

Setup #

  • Svelte
<script>
  import { FloatingLabelInput, Helper } from 'flowbite-svelte';
</script>

Floating label examples #

Get started with the following three styles for the floating label component and use the label tag as a visual placeholder using the peer-placeholder-shown and peer-focus utility classes from Tailwind CSS.

  • Svelte
<div id="exampleWrapper" class="grid gap-6 items-end w-full md:grid-cols-3">
  <FloatingLabelInput style="filled" id="floating_filled" name="floating_filled" type="text" label="Floating filled" />
  <FloatingLabelInput style="outlined" id="floating_outlined" name="floating_outlined" type="text" label="Floating outlined" />
  <FloatingLabelInput id="floating_standard" name="floating_standard" type="text" label="Floating standard" />
</div>

Disabled state #

Apply the disabled attribute to the input fields to disallow the user from changing the content.

  • Svelte
<div id="exampleWrapper" class="grid gap-6 items-end w-full md:grid-cols-3">
  <FloatingLabelInput style="filled" id="disabled_filled" name="disabled_filled" type="text" label="Disabled filled" disabled />
  <FloatingLabelInput style="outlined" id="disabled_outlined" name="disabled_outlined" type="text" label="Disabled outlined" disabled />
  <FloatingLabelInput id="disabled_standard" name="disabled_standard" type="text" label="Disabled standard" disabled />
</div>

Validation #

Use the following examples of input validation for the success and error messages by applying the validation text below the input field and using the green or red color classes from Tailwind CSS.

Well done! Some success message.

Well done! Some success message.

Well done! Some success message.

Oh, snapp! Some error message.

Oh, snapp! Some error message.

Oh, snapp! Some error message.
