## 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>

<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>
{{< /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 resize—no 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. We recommend adding `.mt-0` to the `.form-check-input` when there's no visible text next to the input.

{{< example >}}
<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>
{{< /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-bs-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">Dropdown</button>

## Custom forms

Input groups include support for custom selects and custom file inputs. Browser default versions of these are not supported.
