Hide label for input field

Question

I am trying to hide the label for a specific field in _form.php without success.

I have tried couple of variation like, but none is working:

<?= $form->field($model, 'sample_text')->textArea('label'=>false) ?>

and alternate code:

<?= $form->field($model, 'sample_text')->textArea('label'=>'') ?>

What is the right approach to hide a label?

Answer 1

The best way to hide the label in form input field, is to pass empty value to array on 'attributeLabels()' function in the model.

i.e you have input filed name 'client_name', so on the 'attributeLabels()' function's return array pass the empty string as array value

public function attributeLabels()
{
    return [

        'id' => 'ID',
        'gender' => 'Gender',
        'client_name' => '',
        .
        .
        .
          ]
 }

Answer 2

Or you can modify template value for particular field and remove {label} part from it. I.e.:

<p><?= $form->field($page, 'image', [
    'template' => '<div class=\"\">{input}</div><div class=\"\">{error}</div>'
])->fileInput() ?></p>

Answer 3

You can disable label, while creating form field class

$form->field($model, 'email', [
 'inputOptions' => [
    'enableLabel' => false,
  ]
 ])   

Answer 4

<?= $form->field($model, 'password', [
    'inputOptions'=>[
        'class'=>'form-control',
        'placeholder'=>'Password'
    ]
])->passwordInput()->label(false); ?>

Answer 5

Ok, I found the solution.

<?= $form->field($model, 'sample_text')->textArea()->label(false) ?>

Answer 6

At time of writing after digging into the core code, I have found this to be the best solution to hide the label and prevent rendering the full field template with errors etc. for hiddenInput.

<?=
$form->field($model, 'address_uuid', [
    'template' => '{input}',
    'options' => ['tag' => false]
])->hiddenInput([
    'readonly' => true,
])->label(false)
?>
