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.

On this page

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.

See Bootstrap examples that are incompatible with Orange Design System.

These variants should not be used because they do not respect the Orange Design System specifications.

Please refer to the Forms guidelines and to the Pages form examples on the Orange Design System website.

<div class="input-group mb-3">

  <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">

<div class="input-group mb-3">

  <input type="text" class="form-control" aria-label="Amount (to the nearest dollar)">
  <span class="input-group-text">.00</span>

<div class="input-group mb-3">

</div>

<div class="input-group">
  <label for="textarea" class="input-group-text">With textarea</label>
  <textarea class="form-control" id="textarea"></textarea>
</div>
html

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>
html

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.

See Bootstrap examples that are incompatible with Orange Design System.

Incompatibility with Orange Design System. More information

These 3 variants with an horizontal layout (i.e. labels not above the input fields), and the small one because of its height, should not be used because they do not respect the Orange Design System specifications.

Please refer to the Forms guidelines and to the Pages form examples on the Orange Design System website.

<div class="input-group input-group-sm mb-3">

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>
html

Multiple inputs

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

See Bootstrap examples that are incompatible with Orange Design System.

Incompatibility with Orange Design System. More information

These first three variants should not be used because they do not respect the Orange Design System specifications.

The first two variants should have a vertical layout (i.e., having their label above the input field).

The third variant should be split in two elements (a button and a dropdown) which should be presented in a more logical way: the dropdown first and then the button.
