'alignItems' container style breaks the input fields

See original GitHub issue

Hi! When you place FloatingLabelInputs inside a View container which has the alignItems style set to something different than 'stretch' (default), these inputs don’t work properly. They are very narrow, placeholders go out of borders and the user input itself isn’t visible. I’ve tried setting width for the inputs to fix it, but it doesn’t solve the issue - entered text gets cropped and is still not visible.

On the image below, the password field has it’s style set to width: '80%' and the style of the container View is set to alignItems: 'center' floating-labels-input-bug

You are right - mistake simple as that 😉

It seems that everything is working properly now. Thanks for the fix

@pawicao, sorry but I think you’re using the margin or padding at the wrong style prop. If you want the margin to affect the area around the input, use the containerStyles prop as the image shows:

If you can confirm this is working as intended, we can close this.
