Label with helper description text
For AI Agents
Hand your agent this brief or the ReUI MCP, not a screenshot. Free to install.
Best for: An API key name with a line of helper copy stacked between it and the input, always on screen
When to use
- Visible names for text inputs, text areas and checkboxes, each tied to its control by id
- Marks beside the field name: required or optional, a status badge or dot, an info tooltip or an edit toggle
- Field states and hints around the name: disabled, invalid, helper text under it and a live character count
When not to use
- A hint kept out of the layout until the user hovers an icon: use the Label Tooltip Info example
- Form rows that need hint and error slots, grouped sets or a side by side layout: use the Field component
- The text box itself, with typed entry for email, password, number or file: use the Input component
- Lists of tick boxes, a mixed state or selectable cards with a ticked state: use the Checkbox component
