What is JVFloatLabeledTextField?

JVFloatLabeledTextField is the first implementation of a UX pattern that has come to be known the “Float Label Pattern”.

Due to space constraints on mobile devices, it is common to rely solely on placeholders as a means to label fields. This presents a UX problem, in that, once the user begins to fill out a form, no labels are present.

This UI component library, which includes both a UITextField and UITextView subclass, aims to improve the user experience by having placeholders transition into floating labels that hover above the fields after they are populated with text.
