Always The floating label will always float above the input.
Never By default, never float the label in the input when the placeholder is available.
  • Import the Input modules from ej2-inputs library as shown in below.
import {Input} from '@syncfusion/ej2-inputs';
  • Pass the HTML Input element and floatLabelType property as Auto to the createInput method.
  • Set the placeholder value to the input element via element attribute or pass the parameter to the createInput method.
