Passing props values to component

Question

I have this component: InputField.vue

<template>
  <div class="w-full">
    <label class="sr-only" :for="name"></label>
    <input
      :placeholder="label"
      :name="name"
      class="border-b border-black w-full appearance-none w-full py-4 px-3 text-grey-darker leading-tight"
    />
  </div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
  props: {
    label: {
      type: String,
      required: true,
      default: 'label', /* <--------- Always prints default */
    },
    name: {
      type: String,
      required: true,
      default: 'name', /* <--------- Always prints default */
    },
  },
  data() {
    return {}
  },
}
</script>

And this is how i'm using it from another component:

<inputField :label="Hola" :name="nombre" />

But label and name are allways the default values defined in the component declaration,

Any idea what i'm missing?

I'm going to capitalize on the snippet done by Utlime but there a lot of problems in that answer, in fact you must NOT take out the ":" as it is the thing that binds it as props and actually will let multiple instances of the component to have their "own" props states, just call it like :aProp="'something'" if you are using hard coded values, if you're passing a variable then go with :aProp='variable' The correct example would be:

Vue.component('InputField', {
  template: `
    <div class="w-full">
    <label class="sr-only" :for="name"></label>
    <input
      :placeholder="label"
      :name="name"
      class="border-b border-black w-full appearance-none w-full py-4 px-3 text-grey-darker leading-tight"
    />
  </div>
  `,

  props: {
    label: {
      type: String,
      required: true,
      default: 'label', /* <--------- No longer prints default if props are given */
    },
    name: {
      type: String,
      required: true,
      default: 'name',
    },
  },
});

new Vue({
  el: '#app',
})

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.5.17/vue.js"></script>
<div id="app">
  <input-field :label="'Hola'" :name="'nombre'"></input-field>
  <input-field :label="'Que tal Toni'" :name="'toni'"></input-field>
</div>
