In this tutorial, we’ll learn how to easily implement Flutter textformfield label by using a proper practical Flutter example code.
Introduction: Flutter Textformfield Label
Flutter textformfield label can be used to describe the input Flutter textformfield. When the Flutter textformield is unfocused or empty then the Flutter textformfield label is shown where the input from user will be taken, means at the same position where the entered input will be shown but when the Flutter textformfield is focused then it animates to the top left position of the Flutter textformfield.
Flutter textformfield label takes a widget means we can pass multiple Flutter text widgets to it or other Flutter widgets like Flutter containers etc. Flutter textformfield label can be used to give more decoration to the Flutter textformfield. Let’s now implement it using a proper Flutter code to have a better understanding of how Flutter textformfield label works.
Implementing Flutter Textformfield Label
Now to implement Flutter textformfield label, we have to use the label constructor of the input decoration class. Let’s see the below code for this:
label: Row( children: [ Icon( Icons.phone, color: Colors.grey, ), SizedBox( width: 5, ), Text( 'Enter phone number', ), ], ),

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() {
runApp(const MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
home: Homepage(),
);
}
}
class Homepage extends StatefulWidget {
@override
State<Homepage> createState() => _HomepageState();
}
class _HomepageState extends State<Homepage> {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return SafeArea(
child: Scaffold(
body: Center(
child: Padding(
padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 40),
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: [
TextFormField(
style: TextStyle(color: Colors.blue),
cursorColor: Colors.blue,
decoration: InputDecoration(
border: InputBorder.none,
filled: true,
fillColor: Colors.blue.withOpacity(.08),
contentPadding: EdgeInsets.all(26),
label: Row(
mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
children: [
Icon(
Icons.home,
color: Colors.blue,
),
SizedBox(
width: 5,
),
Text(
'Enter your address',
style: TextStyle(
color: Colors.blue.withOpacity(.6)),
),
],
),
enabledBorder: OutlineInputBorder(
borderSide: BorderSide(color: Colors.blue),
borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(30).copyWith(
topRight: Radius.circular(0),
topLeft: Radius.circular(0))),
focusedBorder: OutlineInputBorder(
borderSide: BorderSide(color: Colors.blue),
borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(30).copyWith(
topRight: Radius.circular(0),
topLeft: Radius.circular(0)))),
)
],
))),
));
}
}Conclusion
