About

In 2013, Matt D. Smith unveiled the Float Label user interface design pattern. In short, it retains a text field's placeholder above said text field as a floating label. This label is brightly colored when the field is active, and dimly colored when a user has finished editing that field.

Credit

I want to credit Jared Verdi for developing the first iOS implementation of this pattern in his JVFloatLabeledTextField project. I used it as a reference to make this version, but executed most aspects differently. I also added many other features that I personally needed, and plan on continuing to enhance this library over time.
