Label

<ui5-label>

The ui5-label is a component used to represent a label for elements like input, textarea, select. The for property of the ui5-label must be the same as the id attribute of the related input element. Screen readers read out the label, when the user focuses the labelled control.

The ui5-label appearance can be influenced by properties, such as required and wrappingType. The appearance of the Label can be configured in a limited way by using the design property. For a broader choice of designs, you can use custom styles.
