Floating labels save vertical space—label inside field moves up on focus. This React textarea uses shadcn/ui Textarea with peer class enabling sibling label to respond with CSS transitions and placeholder-shown pseudo-class. Built with absolute positioning and peer-focus selectors animating position and size, floating labels create compact forms—perfect for dense layouts, mobile interfaces, modern Material-style designs, multi-field forms, or any interface where vertical space is premium and animated labels provide affordance without consuming extra pixels when empty.
