Input group
Bootstrap 5 Input group component
Easily extend form controls by adding text, buttons, or button groups on either side of textual inputs, custom selects, and custom file inputs.
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.
<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-url1"
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>
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.
<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>
Sizing
Add the relative form sizing classes to the .input-group itself and contents
within will automatically resize—no need for repeating the form control size classes on each
element.
<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>
No border
Add .border-0 class to the .input-group-text to remove the border.
<div class="input-group mb-3">
<span class="input-group-text border-0" id="search-addon"><i class="fas fa-search"></i></span>
<input
type="search"
class="form-control rounded"
placeholder="Search"
aria-label="Search"
aria-describedby="search-addon"
/>
</div>
<div class="input-group mb-3">
<span class="input-group-text border-0" id="basic-addon1">@</span>
<input
type="text"
class="form-control rounded"
placeholder="Username"
aria-label="Username"
aria-describedby="basic-addon1"
/>
</div>
<div class="input-group mb-3">
<input
type="text"
class="form-control rounded"
placeholder="Recipient's username"
aria-label="Recipient's username"
aria-describedby="basic-addon2"
/>
<span class="input-group-text border-0" 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 border-0" id="basic-addon3">https://example.com/users/</span>
<input
type="text"
class="form-control rounded"
id="basic-url3"
aria-describedby="basic-addon3"
/>
</div>
<div class="input-group mb-3">
<span class="input-group-text border-0">$</span>
<input
type="text"
class="form-control rounded"
aria-label="Amount (to the nearest dollar)"
/>
<span class="input-group-text border-0">.00</span>
</div>
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-text border-0">With textarea</span>
<textarea class="form-control rounded" aria-label="With textarea"></textarea>
</div>
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 <input>s are supported visually, validation styles are only
available for input groups with a single <input>.
<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>
Multiple addons
Multiple add-ons are supported and can be mixed with checkbox and radio input versions.
<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>
File input
Input groups include support for custom file inputs. Browser default versions of these are not supported.
<div class="input-group mb-3">
<label class="input-group-text" for="inputGroupFile01">Upload</label>
<input type="file" class="form-control" id="inputGroupFile01" />
</div>
<div class="input-group mb-3">
<input type="file" class="form-control" id="inputGroupFile02" />
<label class="input-group-text" for="inputGroupFile02">Upload</label>
</div>
<div class="input-group mb-3">
<button class="btn btn-outline-secondary" type="button" id="inputGroupFileAddon03" data-mdb-ripple-init>
Button
</button>
<input type="file" class="form-control" id="inputGroupFile03" aria-describedby="inputGroupFileAddon03" aria-label="Upload" />
</div>
<div class="input-group">
<input type="file" class="form-control" id="inputGroupFile04" aria-describedby="inputGroupFileAddon04" aria-label="Upload" />
<button class="btn btn-outline-secondary" type="button" id="inputGroupFileAddon04" data-mdb-ripple-init>
Button
</button>
</div>
// Initialization for ES Users
import { Ripple, initMDB } from "mdb-ui-kit";
initMDB({ Ripple });
Accessibility
Screen readers will have trouble with your forms if you don’t include a label for every input. For these input groups, ensure that any additional label or functionality is conveyed to assistive technologies.
The exact technique to be used (<label> elements hidden using the
.visually-hidden class, or use of the aria-label and
aria-labelledby attributes, possibly in combination with
aria-describedby) and what additional information will need to be conveyed will
vary depending on the exact type of interface widget you’re implementing. The examples in this
section provide a few suggested, case-specific approaches.
