--- layout: docs title: Input group description: Easily extend form controls by adding text, buttons, or button groups on either side of textual inputs, custom selects, and custom file inputs. group: forms toc: true --- ## Basic example Place one add-on or button on either side of an input. You may also place one on both sides of an input. Remember to place `<label>`s outside the input group. {{< example >}} <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"> <span class="input-group-text">With textarea</span> <textarea class="form-control" aria-label="With textarea"></textarea> </div> {{< /example >}} ## Wrapping Input groups wrap by default via `flex-wrap: wrap` in order to accommodate custom form field validation within an input group. You may disable this with `.flex-nowrap`. {{< example >}} <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> {{< /example >}} ## Sizing Add the relative form sizing classes to the `.input-group` itself and contents within will automatically resizeāno need for repeating the form control size classes on each element. **Sizing on the individual input group elements isn't supported.** {{< example >}} <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> {{< /example >}} ## Checkboxes and radios Place any checkbox or radio option within an input group's addon instead of text. {{< example >}} <div class="input-group mb-3"> <div class="input-group-text"> <input class="form-check-input" 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" 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> {{< /example >}} ## Multiple inputs While multiple `<input>`s are supported visually, validation styles are only available for input groups with a single `<input>`. {{< example >}} <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> {{< /example >}} ## Multiple addons Multiple add-ons are supported and can be mixed with checkbox and radio input versions. {{< example >}} <div class="input-group mb-3"> <span class="input-group-text">$</span> <span class="input-group-text">0.00</span> <input type="text" class="form-control" aria-label="Dollar amount (with dot and two decimal places)"> </div> <div class="input-group"> <input type="text" class="form-control" aria-label="Dollar amount (with dot and two decimal places)"> <span class="input-group-text">$</span> <span class="input-group-text">0.00</span> </div> {{< /example >}} ## Button addons {{< example >}} <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"> </div> <div class="input-group mb-3"> <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Recipient's username" aria-label="Recipient's username" aria-describedby="button-addon2"> <button class="btn btn-outline-secondary" type="button" id="button-addon2">Button</button> </div> <div class="input-group mb-3"> <button class="btn btn-outline-secondary" type="button">Button</button> <button class="btn btn-outline-secondary" type="button">Button</button> <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="" aria-label="Example text with two button addons"> </div> <div class="input-group"> <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Recipient's username" aria-label="Recipient's username with two button addons"> <button class="btn btn-outline-secondary" type="button">Button</button> <button class="btn btn-outline-secondary" type="button">Button</button> </div> {{< /example >}} ## Buttons with dropdowns {{< example >}} <div class="input-group mb-3"> <button class="btn btn-outline-secondary dropdown-toggle" type="button" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">Dropdown</button> <ul class="dropdown-menu"> <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a></li> <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a></li> <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a></li> <li><hr class="dropdown-divider"></li> <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Separated link</a></li> </ul> <input type="text" class="form-control" aria-label="Text input with dropdown button"> </div> <div class="input-group mb-3"> <input type="text" class="form-control" aria-label="Text input with dropdown button"> <button class="btn btn-outline-secondary dropdown-toggle" type="button" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">Dropdown</button> <ul class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-right"> <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a></li> <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a></li> <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a></li> <li><hr class="dropdown-divider"></li> <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Separated link</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="input-group"> <button class="btn btn-outline-secondary dropdown-toggle" type="button" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">Dropdown</button> <ul class="dropdown-menu"> <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action before</a></li> <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action before</a></li> <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a></li> <li><hr class="dropdown-divider"></li> <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Separated link</a></li> </ul> <input type="text" class="form-control" aria-label="Text input with 2 dropdown buttons"> <button class="btn btn-outline-secondary dropdown-toggle" type="button" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">Dropdown</button> <ul class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-right"> <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a></li> <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a></li> <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a></li> <li><hr class="dropdown-divider"></li> <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Separated link</a></li> </ul> </div> {{< /example >}} ##
