# Gummy Label

> A native label with required, optional, disabled, and read-only cues.

- Status: stable
- Licence: MIT
- Catalogue group: Forms and selection

## Installation

```sh
npx shadcn@latest add https://gummyui.dev/r/gummy-label.json
```

The shadcn-compatible registry copies editable React, TypeScript, and CSS
into the consuming application; it is not a black-box component runtime.

## Semantics

A real label targets one form control.

## Keyboard behavior

Click moves focus through native label behavior.

## Dependencies

No component-specific dependency is declared in the catalogue.
The registry resolves shared Gummy style payloads automatically.

## Anatomy and API

Exported React parts:

- `GummyLabel`

### `GummyLabelProps`

Composes `React.LabelHTMLAttributes<HTMLLabelElement> & { /** Shows a visible, non-colour-only required cue. */ required?: boolean; /** Shows an optional cue when the field is not required. */ optional?: boolean; /** Mirrors the state of the associated control. */ disabled?: boolean; /** Mirrors the state of an associated read-only control. */ readOnly?: boolean; /** Replaces the generated Required, Optional, or Read only cue. */ meta?: React.ReactNode; }`.

## Themes, RTL, and reduced motion

- Light and dark modes use the shared semantic and fruit tokens. Set
  `data-theme="dark"` on the root to activate the included dark environment.
- Use the nearest genuine `dir` boundary. Layout uses logical properties;
  any directional key behavior is part of the keyboard contract above.
- Gummy motion styles honor `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce`; preserve visible
  focus, selection, loading, and validation information when motion is reduced.
