Input label on React Native

Input fields should have labels so that users know what input data is expected. These labels should stay visible while users are entering data. A placeholder which disappears while entering data does not count as a label.

In React Native, there is no attribute to link a label to an input field. We recommend combining Text with a TextInput component.

You can also use a package for displaying instructions, such as React Native Paper. This package includes a TextInput component with a label property.

import { TextInput } from 'react-native-paper';

const InputWithLabelComponent = () => {
  return (
    <TextInput
      label="Name"
      value={name}
    />
  );
};
