Question 1

How do I add a focus indicator to react-native-floating-labels?

Use the onFocus and onBlur props with inputStyle to dynamically change borders. The README provides an example for implementing WCAG 2.2-compliant focus indicators with a contrast ratio of at least 3:1.

Question 2

react-native-floating-labels vs react-native-paper text input: which is better?

react-native-floating-labels specializes in accessible, animated labels with built-in screen reader support, while react-native-paper offers a full Material Design component suite with pre-styled inputs. Choose based on whether you prioritize accessibility over out-of-the-box styling.

Question 3

Can I use react-native-floating-labels with Formik or React Hook Form?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but integration requires manual handling of value and onChangeText props. The component works with controlled inputs, so you can pass form library values and handlers directly without built-in hooks.

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's compatible with Expo as a pure JavaScript library with no native linking required, as mentioned in the local testing section with Expo setup instructions.
