v5: Floating labels (#30449)
* v5: Promote floating labels example to component

- Adds new .form-floating
- Stubs out basics of a docs page
- Removes existing Example

* Update floating labels to support .form-select, make inputs and selects more consistent

- To do this, I made the .form-control and .form-select consistent in min-height vs height
- Removed some unused variables now
- Updated -color to be the -color because I don't know why this was any different before
- Update page to include some examples for layout, validation, and value
- Rewrite styles to not modify padding, but instead transform and opacity

* Streamline and bulletproof some things

- Apply some optimizations from code review
- Removed unecessary properties from the label
- Add some comments for what properties are required
- Move from fixed height for labels to height 100% so we can support textareas
- Improve docs a little bit, add ToC

* Move some values to variables, switch from scaling font-size to scale, update transforms

* Bring over changes from #30966 and add to them to tighten things up

* Delete the now unused example images

* Fix typo

* Allowlist the calc function

* Add transform-origin, update transform values

* Test out autofill fix

* Fix linter issue

* Mention it in the migration guide

* Bump bundlesize

* Add one more variable per review

* Shave .25rem off the height

docs Floating labels Create beautifully simple form labels that float over your input fields. forms true

Example

Wrap a pair of <input class="form-control"> and <label> elements in .form-floating to enable floating labels with Bootstrap's textual form fields. A placeholder is required on each <input> as our method of CSS-only floating labels uses the :placeholder-shown pseudo-element. Also note that the <input> must come first so we can utilize a sibling selector (e.g., ~).

This approach works in the new Microsoft Edge built on Chromium and gracefully degrades on older versions.

{{< example >}}

{{< /example >}}

When there's a value already defined, <label>s will automatically adjust to their floated position.

Form validation styles also work as expected.

Textareas

By default, <textarea>s with .form-control will be the same height as <input>s.

{{< example >}}

{{< /example >}}

To set a custom height on your <textarea>, do not use the rows attribute. Instead, set an explicit height (either inline or via custom CSS).

{{< example >}}

{{< /example >}}

Selects

Other than .form-control, floating labels only available on .form-selects. They work in the same way, but unlike <input>s, they'll always show the <label> in its floated state.

Layout

When working with the Bootstrap grid system, be sure to place form elements within column classes.
