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}
/>
);
};
