# Label

A SwiftUI Label component for displaying text with an icon.
iOS, tvOS, Included in Expo Go

Expo UI Label matches the official SwiftUI [Label API](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/label) and displays a title alongside an icon.

## Installation

```sh
# npm
npx expo install @expo/ui

# yarn
yarn expo install @expo/ui

# pnpm
pnpm expo install @expo/ui

# bun
bun expo install @expo/ui
```

If you are installing this in an [existing React Native app](/bare/overview.md), make sure to [install `expo`](/bare/installing-expo-modules.md) in your project.

## Usage

### Basic label with SF Symbol

```tsx
import { Host, Label } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui';

export default function BasicLabelExample() {
  return (
    <Host matchContents>
      <Label title="Favorites" systemImage="star.fill" />
    </Host>
  );
}
```

### With custom icon

Use the `icon` prop to provide a custom React node as the icon instead of an SF Symbol.

```tsx
import { Host, Label, Image } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui';

export default function LabelCustomIconExample() {
  return (
    <Host matchContents>
      <Label title="Custom Icon" icon={<Image systemName="sparkles" size={20} color="purple" />} />
    </Host>
  );
}
```

### Icon only

Use the [`labelStyle`](/versions/latest/sdk/ui/swift-ui/modifiers.md#labelstyle) modifier with `iconOnly` to display only the icon. Always provide a `title` for accessibility even though it won't be visible.

```tsx
import { Host, Label } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui';
import { labelStyle } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui/modifiers';

export default function LabelIconOnlyExample() {
  return (
    <Host matchContents>
      <Label title="Settings" systemImage="gear" modifiers={[labelStyle('iconOnly')]} />
    </Host>
  );
}
```

## API

```tsx
import { Label } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui';
```
