Floating Label Input

An input component with a label that floats above the field when focused or filled. Uses a compound component pattern (FloatingLabel, FloatingLabel.Input, FloatingLabel.Label) for full styling control. Inspired by shadcn/ui Expansions .

Installation

npx shadcn@latest add https://prismaui.com/components/floating-label-input.json

Import


import { FloatingLabel } from '@/components/ui/floating-label-input';

Preview


<FloatingLabel>
  <FloatingLabel.Input id='email' type='email' />
  <FloatingLabel.Label htmlFor='email'>Email</FloatingLabel.Label>
</FloatingLabel>

Multiple Fields

Full Name

Password


<div className='flex flex-col gap-4'>
  <FloatingLabel>
    <FloatingLabel.Input id='name' />
    <FloatingLabel.Label htmlFor='name'>Full Name</FloatingLabel.Label>
  </FloatingLabel>
  <FloatingLabel>
    <FloatingLabel.Input id='email' type='email' />
    <FloatingLabel.Label htmlFor='email'>Email</FloatingLabel.Label>
  </FloatingLabel>
  <FloatingLabel>
    <FloatingLabel.Input id='password' type='password' />
    <FloatingLabel.Label htmlFor='password'>Password</FloatingLabel.Label>
  </FloatingLabel>
</div>

Custom Styling

Each sub-component accepts its own className, giving full control without extra wrapper props.

Username


<FloatingLabel>
  <FloatingLabel.Input
    id='username'
    className='rounded-full border-primary/50 px-5 focus:border-primary'
  />
  <FloatingLabel.Label htmlFor='username' className='left-3 text-primary'>
    Username
  </FloatingLabel.Label>
</FloatingLabel>

With Field (Description)

Wrap FloatingLabel inside a shadcn Field to add descriptions, errors, and accessible form layouts.


import { Field, FieldDescription } from '@/components/ui/field';


<Field>
  <FloatingLabel>
    <FloatingLabel.Input id='email' type='email' />
    <FloatingLabel.Label htmlFor='email'>Email</FloatingLabel.Label>
  </FloatingLabel>
  <FieldDescription>We'll never share your email.</FieldDescription>
</Field>

With Field (Error)

Use data-invalid on Field and aria-invalid on the input to show validation errors.


import { Field, FieldError } from '@/components/ui/field';


<Field data-invalid>
  <FloatingLabel>
    <FloatingLabel.Input id='email' type='email' aria-invalid />
    <FloatingLabel.Label htmlFor='email'>Email</FloatingLabel.Label>
  </FloatingLabel>
  <FieldError>Enter a valid email address.</FieldError>
</Field>

With Field (Validation)

A complete example with interactive validation — the error appears when the input loses focus and the value is too short.


'use client';
 
import { useState } from 'react';
import { FloatingLabel } from '@/components/ui/floating-label-input';
import { Field, FieldDescription, FieldError } from '@/components/ui/field';
 
export function FieldValidationDemo() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState('');
  const [touched, setTouched] = useState(false);
 
  const isInvalid = touched && value.length < 3;
 
  return (
    <Field data-invalid={isInvalid || undefined}>
      <FloatingLabel>
        <FloatingLabel.Input
          id='username'
          value={value}
          onChange={(e) => setValue(e.target.value)}
          onBlur={() => setTouched(true)}
          aria-invalid={isInvalid || undefined}
        />
        <FloatingLabel.Label htmlFor='username'>Username</FloatingLabel.Label>
      </FloatingLabel>
      <FieldDescription>Must be at least 3 characters.</FieldDescription>
      {isInvalid && (
        <FieldError>Username must be at least 3 characters.</FieldError>
      )}
    </Field>
  );
}

With FieldSet (Form)

Group multiple floating label inputs inside a FieldSet with FieldGroup for a complete form layout.
