nativeLabel

nativeLabel represents the label HTML element that creates a caption for a component.

  • XML element: nativeLabel

  • Java class: NativeLabel

Basics

The nativeLabel component can serve as an alternative for the label attribute that is present in the majority of UI components in Jmix.

To set a label on a component, pass that component’s id to the setFor attribute of the label. For example, to set the label on a checkbox component:

<div>
    <checkbox id ="checkbox"/>
    <nativeLabel text="Enable Notifications" setFor="checkbox"/>
</div>
label basic

Having the label associated with a component makes the label text correctly interpreted by assistive technologies, such as screen readers.

To add text that is not associated to a component, use the span or div components.

Dynamic Label

To dynamically set or update text in nativeLabel, first specify its id attribute:

<nativeLabel id="dynamicLabel" setFor="button"/>
<button id="button" text="Click"/>

Use this id to reference the label in the view controller and update the text with the setText() method:

@ViewComponent
private NativeLabel dynamicLabel;

@Subscribe("button")
public void onButtonClick(final ClickEvent<JmixButton> event) {
    dynamicLabel.setText("Button clicked " + event.getClickCount() + " times.");
}
label dynamic
