Label

Component
Live

The Label component guides a user on the expected input of a form field.

Usage

Labels are the question text for a form field. They improve the usability of form fields by clearly identifying the purpose and expected input of individual fields.

Installation

Install

yarn add @iag/chroma-react-ui.components

Import

import { Label } from "@iag/chroma-react-ui.components";

When to use

Use Labels for an individual form field to clearly identify its purpose, guide user input and improve form accessibility. For example, Input, Textarea, Select etc.

When to avoid

Avoid using Labels for general text content when it’s not associated with a specific form field. Also avoid if you have a group of related fields, like a set of radios or checkboxes. In these instances, use the Legend component.

Do

  • Do ensure that the text of Labels is clear and descriptive.
  • Do accompany Labels with help text for additional context or prompts.
