What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
Objective-C subclasses of UITextField and UITextView whose placeholders animate into floating labels when the user enters text. It was used in production apps like Booking.com but is now deprecated in favor of JVFloatLabeledTextField.
Use cases
- floating label text fields in an iOS form
- animate placeholder into label when user types
- material design style input fields on iOS
- login or signup form text inputs with floating labels
- replace plain UITextField placeholders with persistent labels
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Objective-C iOS app that already uses it
- you specifically want upward or downward floating label animation with ARC and iOS 6+ support
When to avoid
- starting a new iOS project - the repo is deprecated and recommends JVFloatLabeledTextField
- Swift-first codebases looking for actively maintained components
- apps targeting modern iOS only with SwiftUI
