Bootstrap Input Group

Bootstrap input groups offer a flexible and powerful way to add add-ons, buttons, and forms to your inputs. This page will guide you through the necessary syntax, examples, and explanations to help you create input groups in Bootstrap.

Syntax

To create a Bootstrap input group, you can either wrap an input and an add-on together or use the .input-group class to wrap both elements. Here is an example of how to create an input and an add-on together:

<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">
  <div class="input-group-append">
    <span class="input-group-text" id="basic-addon2">@example.com</span>
  </div>
</div>

And here is an example of how to use the .input-group class instead:

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

Example

Here is an example of how to create a Bootstrap input group with an add-on.

<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>

<div class="mb-3">
  <label for="basic-url" class="form-label">Your vanity URL</label>
  <div class="input-group">
    <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 basic-addon4">
  </div>
  <div class="form-text" id="basic-addon4">Example help text goes outside the input group.</div>
</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>

Sizing

Add the relative form sizing classes to the .input-group

<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">

Checkboxes and radios

Place any checkbox or radio option within an input group’s addon instead of text.

<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>

Multiple inputs

While multiple s are supported visually, validation styles are only available for input groups with a single .

<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>

Button and dropdowns 

<div class="input-group mb-3">
    <button class="btn btn-outline-secondary" type="button" id="button-addon1">Button</button>
    <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="" aria-label="Example text with button addon"
        aria-describedby="button-addon1">

Explanation

In the code above, we used the .input-group-prepend and .input-group-append classes to add the dollar sign and ".00" add-ons to the input. We also added the .form-control class to the input to style it as a Bootstrap form control.

Use

Bootstrap input groups can be used to add various types of add-ons to inputs such as icons, buttons, and forms. They can also be styled to fit any design.

Important Points

  • Bootstrap input groups allow you to add add-ons, buttons, and forms to your inputs.
  • You can either wrap an input and an add-on together or use the .input-group class to wrap both elements.
  • Bootstrap input groups can be styled to fit any design.

Summary

Bootstrap input groups offer a flexible and powerful way to add add-ons, buttons, and forms to your inputs. By using input groups, you can create forms that are both functional and beautiful.
