Chakra UI is a popular React component library that provides a set of accessible and customizable UI components. One of the components it offers is FormLabel, which provides a label for input elements in forms. In this blog post, we will explore how to use the FormLabel component in Chakra UI.

Importing the FormLabel component

To start working with the FormLabel component, you first need to import it from the Chakra UI library. You can do this by adding the following line at the top of your file:

import { FormLabel } from "@chakra-ui/react";

Here, we are importing the FormLabel component from the @chakra-ui/react package.

Using the FormLabel component

Once you have imported the FormLabel, you can use it within your React component. You can pass the text you want to display as the label to the FormLabel component using the children prop.

<FormLabel>Username</FormLabel>

In the example above, “Username” is the label that will be displayed for the input element. You can customize the appearance of the label using the various props provided by the FormLabel component.

Customizing the appearance of the FormLabel

Chakra UI provides several props to customize the appearance of the FormLabel component. For example, you can change the font size of the label using the fontSize prop, and you can set the color using the color prop.

<FormLabel fontSize="lg" color="blue.500">Username</FormLabel>

In the code snippet above, we are setting the font size of the label to “lg” and the color to “blue.500”. You can also apply any other CSS properties to the FormLabel component for further customization.

Conclusion

The FormLabel component in Chakra UI allows you to easily add labels to your input elements in forms. With its customizable appearance and accessibility features, it provides a convenient way to enhance the user experience. By using the FormLabel component, you can improve the usability and accessibility of your forms in your React applications.
