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 w-full items-end gap-6 md:grid-cols-3">
  <FloatingLabelInput variant="filled" id="floating_filled" name="floating_filled" type="text">Floating filled</FloatingLabelInput>
  <FloatingLabelInput variant="outlined" id="floating_outlined" name="floating_outlined" type="text">Floating outlined</FloatingLabelInput>
  <FloatingLabelInput id="floating_standard" name="floating_standard" type="text" label="Floating standard">Floating standard</FloatingLabelInput>
</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 w-full items-end gap-6 md:grid-cols-3">
  <FloatingLabelInput variant="filled" id="disabled_filled" name="disabled_filled" type="text" disabled>Disabled filled</FloatingLabelInput>
  <FloatingLabelInput variant="outlined" id="disabled_outlined" name="disabled_outlined" type="text" disabled>Disabled outlined</FloatingLabelInput>
  <FloatingLabelInput id="disabled_standard" name="disabled_standard" type="text" disabled>Disabled standard</FloatingLabelInput>
</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.

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

<!-- Success messages -->
<div class="mb-6 grid items-end gap-6 md:grid-cols-3">
  <div>
    <FloatingLabelInput color="green" variant="filled" id="filled_success" aria-describedby="filled_success_help" name="filled_success" type="text">Filled success</FloatingLabelInput>
    <Helper color="green">
      <span class="font-medium">Well done!</span>
      Some success message.
    </Helper>
  </div>
  <div>
    <FloatingLabelInput color="green" variant="outlined" id="outlined_success" aria-describedby="outlined_success_help" name="outlined_success" type="text">Outlined success</FloatingLabelInput>
    <Helper color="green">
      <span class="font-medium">Well done!</span>
      Some success message.
    </Helper>
  </div>
  <div>
    <FloatingLabelInput color="green" variant="standard" id="standard_success" aria-describedby="standard_success_help" name="standard_success" type="text">Standard success</FloatingLabelInput>
    <Helper color="green">
      <span class="font-medium">Well done!</span>
      Some success message.
    </Helper>
  </div>
</div>
<!-- Error messages -->
<div class="mb-6 grid items-end gap-6 md:grid-cols-3">
  <div>
    <FloatingLabelInput color="red" variant="filled" id="filled_error" aria-describedby="filled_error_help" name="filled_error" type="text">Filled error</FloatingLabelInput>
    <Helper color="red">
      <span class="font-medium">Oh, snapp!</span>
      Some error message.
    </Helper>
  </div>
  <div>
    <FloatingLabelInput color="red" variant="outlined" id="outlined_error" aria-describedby="outlined_error_help" name="outlined_success" type="text">Outlined error</FloatingLabelInput>
    <Helper color="red">
      <span class="font-medium">Oh, snapp!</span>
      Some error message.
    </Helper>
  </div>
  <div>
    <FloatingLabelInput color="red" variant="standard" id="standard_error" aria-describedby="standard_error_help" name="standard_success" type="text">Standard error</FloatingLabelInput>
    <Helper color="red">
      <span class="font-medium">Oh, snapp!</span>
      Some error message.
    </Helper>
  </div>
</div>

Sizes #

Use the small and default sizes of the floating label input fields from the following example.

<div class="grid items-end gap-6 md:grid-cols-3">
  <FloatingLabelInput variant="filled" id="default_filled" name="default_filled" type="text">Default filled</FloatingLabelInput>
  <FloatingLabelInput variant="outlined" id="default_outlined" name="default_outlined" type="text">Default outlined</FloatingLabelInput>
  <FloatingLabelInput id="default_standard" name="default_standard" type="text">Default standard</FloatingLabelInput>
</div>
