<template>
    <DxForm ...>
        <DxSimpleItem ...>
            <DxLabel template="customLabel"/>
        </DxSimpleItem>
        <template #customLabel="{ data }">

const customItem = (data) => {
    return `Custom ${data.text}`;
}

function App() {
    return (
        <Form ...>
            <SimpleItem ...>
                <Label render={customItem} />

    );
};

export default App;

Specifies the label text.

visible

Controls the visibility of the label outside the editor.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true

This property defaults to true in the following cases:

  • The labelMode is "outside".
  • The editor does not support embedded labels and therefore does not support "static" and "floating" label modes. Refer to the labelMode article for a list of these editors.

In other cases, the property defaults to false.
