# Input group

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.

@
@example.com
Your vanity URL
https://example.com/users/
$ .00
@
With textarea

    <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>

## 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.

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

Small
Default
Large

    <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>

## Checkboxes and radios

Place any checkbox or radio option within an input group’s addon instead of text. We recommend adding `.mt-0` to the `.form-check-input` when there’s no visible text next to the 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>

## Multiple inputs

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

First and last name

    <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.

$ 0.00
$ 0.00

    <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)">
