B68FloatingLabelTextField
=========================

Swift implementation of the [Float Label Design Pattern](http://mattdsmith.com/float-label-pattern/) by Matt D. Smith as a sub call from UITextField

Implementing an input field for a device with limited screen estate is challenging. Matt has developed an pattern for combining a placeholder text wit a floating label if needed.

I implemented the pattern in SWIFT and enabled some of the internal propertiers in Xcode 6 Interface Builder (see screenshot)
