Function to update field labels

Hi guys,

I have a proposal and I do think, I’m not the only one who has this kind of issue. When I update empty text field with a value, for example via Angular, the label does not slide up.

I have read some stuff about how angular binds events and I know it’s almost impossible to catch the action nad hook it up. But if there would be a global method, lets say updateLabels([form]), which would go thru the document or given form/element and updates all the labels to be above the fields, that would be great.

Or is there a simple solution how to write such functionality by myself?

@grafa This is already done in our forms.js

var input_selector = 'input[type=text], input[type=password], input[type=email], input[type=url], input[type=tel], input[type=number], input[type=search], textarea';
 $(document).ready(function() {
      $(input_selector).each(function(index, element) {
        if($(element).val().length > 0) {
          $(this).siblings('label, i').addClass('active');
        }
      });
    });
