What can be used in react-native instead of an html label tag to achieve the same result?
I wanna make a form in React native.
A field in this form in (non-native) React would be like this:
<div>
<label htmlFor="lastName">Last Name:</label>
<input type="text" id="lastName" />
</div>
Or in plain html:
<div>
<label for="lastName">Last Name:</label>
<input type="text" id="lastName">
</div>
I find the label tag important for accessibility reasons.
Every tutorial I found uses only placeholders and I couldn't find any reference for <label> in the react native documentation.
The placeholder disappears as the user starts typing, which makes the page less accessible.
The <label> tag also redirects focus to the input when clicked.
This means the user can click on <label htmlFor="lastName">Last Name:</label> and input in the field <input type="text" id="lastName" />.
