## Note
If you are looking for the `UITextView` equivalent of this class, please visit my [UIFloatLabelTextView](http://www.github.com/ArtSabintsev/UIFloatLabelTextView) repository.

## About
In 2013, [**Matt D. Smith**](http://twitter.com/mds) unveiled the **[Float Label](http://www.floatlabel.com)** 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.

## Installation

### CococaPods

pod 'UIFloatLabelTextField'
```

### Carthage
``` swift
github "ArtSabintsev/UIFloatLabelTextField"
```

## Setup
Check out `UIFloatLabelTextField.h` for a full list of editable properties. Also, check out the **UIFloatLabelSampleApp** for an example implementation of the application.

## Credit
I want to credit [**Jared Verdi**](http://twitter.com/jverdi) for developing the first iOS implementation of this pattern in his [**JVFloatLabeledTextField**](https://github.com/jverdi/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.
