Input Group

Text, buttons, or button groups can be added to either side of text inputs, custom selections, or custom file inputs to easily extend form controls.

Basic example #

Put a button or add-on on each side of an input. Alternatively, you might put one on either side of the input. <label>s should be outside the input group, don't forget. 

<div class="input-group mb-3">
  <span class="input-group-text" id="basic-addon1">@</span>
  <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Username" aria-label="Username" aria-describedby="basic-addon1"/>
</div>

  
<div class="input-group mb-3">
  <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Recipient's username" aria-label="Recipient's username" aria-describedby="basic-addon2"/>
  <span class="input-group-text" id="basic-addon2">@example.com</span>
</div>

  
<label for="basic-url" class="form-label">Your vanity URL</label>
<div class="input-group mb-3">
  <span class="input-group-text" id="basic-addon3">https://example.com/users/</span>
  <input type="text" class="form-control" id="basic-url" aria-describedby="basic-addon3"/>
</div>

  
<div class="input-group mb-3">
  <span class="input-group-text">$</span>
  <input type="text" class="form-control" aria-label="Amount (to the nearest dollar)"/>
  <span class="input-group-text">.00</span>
</div>

  
<div class="input-group mb-3">
  <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Username" aria-label="Username"/>
  <span class="input-group-text">@</span>
  <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Server" aria-label="Server"/>
</div>

  
<div class="input-group">
  <span class="input-group-text">With textarea</span>
  <textarea class="form-control" aria-label="With textarea"></textarea>
</div>
RESULT
@
@example.com
https://example.com/users/
$.00
@
With textarea

Wrapping #

Input groups automatically wrap using flex-wrap: wrap, a custom form field's validation can be supported within an input group. This can be turned off using. flex-nowrap. 

<div class="input-group flex-nowrap">
  <span class="input-group-text" id="addon-wrapping">@</span>
  <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Username" aria-label="Username" aria-describedby="addon-wrapping"/>
</div>
RESULT
@

Sizing #

To add the classes for relative form sizing there is no need to repeat the form control size classes on each element because the .input-group and its contents will automatically resize.

Sizing on the individual input group elements isn't supported. 

<div class="input-group input-group-sm mb-3">
  <span class="input-group-text" id="inputGroup-sizing-sm">Small</span>
  <input type="text" class="form-control" aria-label="Sizing example input" aria-describedby="inputGroup-sizing-sm"/>
</div>

  
<div class="input-group mb-3">
  <span class="input-group-text" id="inputGroup-sizing-default">Default</span>
  <input type="text" class="form-control" aria-label="Sizing example input" aria-describedby="inputGroup-sizing-default"/>
</div>

  
<div class="input-group input-group-lg">
  <span class="input-group-text" id="inputGroup-sizing-lg">Large</span>
  <input type="text" class="form-control" aria-label="Sizing example input" aria-describedby="inputGroup-sizing-lg"/>
</div>
RESULT
Small
Default
Large

Checkboxes and radios #

Replace the text in an input group's addon with any checkbox or radio button. When there is no visible text next to the input, it is advised to add .mt-0 to the .form-check-input. 

<div class="input-group mb-3">
  <div class="input-group-text">
    <input class="form-check-input mt-0" type="checkbox" value="" aria-label="Checkbox for following text input"/>
  </div>
  <input type="text" class="form-control" aria-label="Text input with checkbox"/>
</div>

  
<div class="input-group">
  <div class="input-group-text">
    <input class="form-check-input mt-0" type="radio" value="" aria-label="Radio button for following text input"/>
  </div>
  <input type="text" class="form-control" aria-label="Text input with radio button"/>
</div>
RESULT

Multiple inputs #

However, validation styles are only accessible for input groups with a single <input>, even when many <input>s are permitted visually. 

<div class="input-group">
  <span class="input-group-text">First and last name</span>
  <input type="text" aria-label="First name" class="form-control"/>
  <input type="text" aria-label="Last name" class="form-control"/>
</div>
RESULT
First and last name
