[RFC] Naming of <Label> and <label> relative to an Input component about fluent-ui-react

[brianespinosa]

we should make it clear that provided Stardust Input component has one-to-one correspondence to input DOM element in general (so that any input attributes supplied to Input component should be reflected by its look and behavior)

I think this makes sense for any of our components that specifically target DOM elements and share names with them. Basically all of the Form components (TextArea, Input, etc).

Regarding names, I think any of these three are fine and have good semantics. If nobody has a pick for one over the others, I'd go with addon for brevity. Other than that, I don't have a preference.

I think the Label component should be renamed. Label is confusing, even when not used inside of an Input. Most other companies call a Label a Badge or Tag.

My absolute support on this proposal - also, we should make it clear that provided Stardust Input component has one-to-one correspondence to input DOM element in general (so that any input attributes supplied to Input component should be reflected by its look and behavior) - and, at the same time we should provide these extensibility mechanism to enhance visual look of Input for certain scenarios (see #120 (comment)).

So, long story short, my proposal is to make Input component to be a strict superset over input element's functionality. As an additional benefit, with this change we will eliminate base ground for the issues like the following: #194, where type='number' is requested to be supported by Input.

In regards to naming - generally agree with addon proposal, but may suggest another couple of naming options:

• decorator
• adornment (this is used by Material)

Just noting, the Label name issue is discussed regularly among the team and we do want to solve it. We're working on an open source effort to find and standardize names. We'll announce that soon.

It is not here yet :/

Whoa @levithomason! Yes, please. Honestly... I am surprised something like this does not yet exist.
