yLabel

Description

The yLabel component serves as a powerful tool primarily designed for displaying short text information within your application. It's an adaptable element that allows both static and dynamic content.

With the yLabel you can display user instructions, show real-time data updates, provide context for other components, or present calculated values within a form, among other applications.

Some uses for the yLabel are:

• Linking input elements
• Displaying table data

tip

Use yTextarea or yTextbox for handling longer texts.

Basic Structure

In the following the basic structure of the yLabel shall be explained. For the general structure of a yComponent please visit the YBase-components basic-structure.

Properties

Through its various properties the yLabel can be configured to suit your needs. The display below provides you with an overview of all the yLabel properties.

Properties can be changed directly through three methods:

• Inside the Toolbar, which is positioned in your workarea next to your component where you need it. It shows the most important properties, thus providing a fast and efficient way to configure your component in the most basic way.
• It may also occur in the Toolbar Extension, which is a seamless extension accesible as a dropdown item of the Toolbar. It extends the functionality of the Toolbar by providing advanced pickers for most used properties.
• Inside the Detail Panel, which is located in the righthand drawer. Every property of a component can be configured here.

Linking input elements

You can establish a connection between the yLabel component and another component using a SourceLink Picker. In this example, the yLabel component is linked to a yInput component. Whenever the value in the yInput is changed, the connected yLabel component will update accordingly.

How to:

1. Open the Detail Panel and go to the "Links" tab to open the "Label" section.
2. Using the SourceLink Picker, select the previously created yInput.

That's it! You can now test this functionality by entering the preview mode and typing text in the yInput component. The yLabel component should update accordingly.

info

If you want to include text before or after the input value, you can add it in the "Style" > "Label" > "Label" property of the yLabel component. To display the input value, use {value} as a placeholder.

Displaying table data

You can also establish a connection between the yLabel component and the yTable using a SourceLink Picker. In this example, the yLabel component is linked to specific column of the yTable. Whenever the selected row changes, the connected yLabel component will update accordingly.

How to:

1. Create a yTable in your application.
2. Open the Detail Panel of the yLabel and navigate to "Links" to unfold the "Label" group. Now, there are two options:
   1. Using the SourceLink Picker, select the previously created yTable and select a specific row in "Collection/Buffer Property".
   2. Using the SourceLink Picker, select the previously created yTable, leave the "Collection/Buffer Property" empty.
3. Change the "Style" > "Label" > "Label" Property. Here, you also have the option to include custom text in the message: "Hello {value}!".

Now, in the preview mode, when you click on a row in the yTable, the yLabel component will update accordingly.
