 - To use, add `.has-warning`, `.has-danger`, or `.has-success` to the parent element. Any `.col-form-label`, `.form-control`, or custom form element will receive the validation styles.
 - Contextual validation text, in addition to your usual form field help text, can be added with the use of `.form-control-feedback`. This text will adapt to the parent `.has-*` class. By default it only includes a bit of `margin` for spacing and a modified `color` for each state.

 Generally speaking, you'll want to use a particular state for specific types of feedback:
 
 - **Danger** is great for when there's a blocking or required field. A user *must* fill in this field properly to submit the form.
 - **Warning** works well for input values that are in progress, like password strength, or soft validation before a user attempts to submit a form.
 - And lastly, **success** is ideal for situations when you have per-field validation throughout a form and want to encourage a user through the rest of the fields.
