This component will render an iOS styled text field with floating label animation. When there is no value, the placeholder will be centered. Once there is a value, the value will slide down and the label will fade in and slide up.

Credits for the concept to Matt D. Smith (@mds), and his original design.

npm install react-native-floating-label-text-input --save

import FloatLabelTextInput from 'react-native-floating-label-text-input';

class SomeComponent extends Component {
  render () {
    return (
      <View>
        <FloatLabelTextInput
          placeholder={"name of field"}
          value={"value of field"}
          onFocus={@myFocusFunction}
          onBlur={@onBlurFunction}
        />
      </View>
    );
  }
}

• placeholder (String) - String that will be used as the placeholder if there is no value. It will also be the string used for the label when there is a value.
• secureTextEntry (Bool) - If true, the text input obscures the text entered so that sensitive text like passwords stay secure. The default value is false.
• keyboardType (Enum) - enum('default', 'email-address', 'numeric', 'phone-pad', 'ascii-capable', 'numbers-and-punctuation', 'url', 'number-pad', 'name-phone-pad', 'decimal-pad', 'twitter', 'web-search').
• value (String) - Value of the text input.
• onFocus (Function) - Function to be called on focus.
• onBlur (Function) - Function to be called on blur.
• onChangeTextValue (Function) - Function to be called when text is modified.
• noBorder (Boolean) - Hide the border bottom of the field.
• maxLength (Number) - Limits the maximum number of characters that can be entered. Use this instead of implementing the logic in JS to avoid flicker.
• selectionColor (String) - The highlight (and cursor on ios) color of the text input.
