JVFloatLabeledTextField ======================= [](https://travis-ci.org/jverdi/JVFloatLabeledTextField) [](#carthage) [](http://cocoadocs.org/docsets/JVFloatLabeledTextField/) [](http://cocoadocs.org/docsets/JVFloatLabeledTextField/) [](http://jaredverdi.mit-license.org) [](https://github.com/jverdi/JVFloatLabeledTextField)
is the first implementation of a UX pattern that has come to be known the "Float Label Pattern".
Due to space constraints on mobile devices, it is common to rely solely on placeholders as a means to label fields. This presents a UX problem, in that, once the user begins to fill out a form, no labels are present.
This UI component library, which includes both a and subclass, aims to improve the user experience by having placeholders transition into floating labels that hover above the fields after they are populated with text.
