title: Input group
description: Easily extend form controls by adding text, buttons, or button groups on either side of textual inputs, custom selects, and custom file inputs.
group: components
toc: true
---



## 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. **We do not support multiple form-controls in a single input group** and `<label>`s must come outside the input group.

{% example html %}
<div class="input-group">
  <span class="input-group-addon" id="basic-addon1">@</span>
  <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Username" aria-label="Username" aria-describedby="basic-addon1">
</div>
<br>
<div class="input-group">
  <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Recipient's username" aria-label="Recipient's username" aria-describedby="basic-addon2">
  <span class="input-group-addon" id="basic-addon2">@example.com</span>
</div>
<br>
<label for="basic-url">Your vanity URL</label>
<div class="input-group">
  <span class="input-group-addon" id="basic-addon3">https://example.com/users/</span>
  <input type="text" class="form-control" id="basic-url" aria-describedby="basic-addon3">
</div>
<br>
<div class="input-group">
  <span class="input-group-addon">$</span>
  <input type="text" class="form-control" aria-label="Amount (to the nearest dollar)">
  <span class="input-group-addon">.00</span>
</div>
<br>
<div class="input-group">
  <span class="input-group-addon">$</span>
  <span class="input-group-addon">0.00</span>
  <input type="text" class="form-control" aria-label="Amount (to the nearest dollar)">
</div>
{% endexample %}

## 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.

{% example html %}
<div class="input-group input-group-lg">
  <span class="input-group-addon" id="sizing-addon1">@</span>
  <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Username" aria-label="Username" aria-describedby="sizing-addon1">
</div>
<br>
<div class="input-group input-group-sm">
  <span class="input-group-addon" id="sizing-addon2">@</span>
  <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Username" aria-label="Username" aria-describedby="sizing-addon2">
</div>
{% endexample %}

## Checkboxes and radio addons

Place any checkbox or radio option within an input group's addon instead of text.

{% example html %}
<div class="row">
  <div class="col-lg-6">
    <div class="input-group">
      <span class="input-group-addon">
        <input type="checkbox" aria-label="Checkbox for following text input">
      </span>
      <input type="text" class="form-control" aria-label="Text input with checkbox">
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="col-lg-6">
    <div class="input-group">
      <span class="input-group-addon">
        <input type="radio" aria-label="Radio button for following text input">
      </span>
      <input type="text" class="form-control" aria-label="Text input with radio button">
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
{% endexample %}

## Multiple addons

Multiple add-ons are supported and can be mixed with checkbox and radio input versions.

{% example html %}
<div class="row">
  <div class="col-lg-6">
    <div class="input-group">
      <span class="input-group-addon">
        <input type="checkbox" aria-label="Checkbox for following text input">
      </span>
      <span class="input-group-addon">$</span>
      <input type="text" class="form-control" aria-label="Text input with checkbox">
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="col-lg-6">
    <div class="input-group">
      <span class="input-group-addon">$</span>
      <span class="input-group-addon">0.00</span>
      <input type="text" class="form-control" aria-label="Text input with radio button">
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
{% endexample %}

## Button addons

Buttons in input groups must wrapped in a `.input-group-btn` for proper alignment and sizing. This is required due to default browser styles that cannot be overridden.

{% example html %}
<div class="row">
  <div class="col-lg-6">
    <div class="input-group">
      <span class="input-group-btn">
        <button class="btn btn-secondary" type="button">Go!</button>
      </span>
      <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search for..." aria-label="Search for...">
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="col-lg-6">
    <div class="input-group">
      <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search for..." aria-label="Search for...">
      <span class="input-group-btn">
        <button class="btn btn-secondary" type="button">Go!</button>
      </span>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
<br>
<div class="row">
  <div class="col-lg-6 offset-lg-3">
    <div class="input-group">
      <span class="input-group-btn">
        <button class="btn btn-secondary" type="button">Hate it</button>
      </span>
      <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Product name" aria-label="Product name">
      <span class="input-group-btn">
        <button class="btn btn-secondary" type="button">Love it</button>
      </span>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
{% endexample %}

## Buttons with dropdowns

{% example html %}
<div class="row">
  <div class="col-lg-6">
    <div class="input-group">
      <div class="input-group-btn">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
          Action
        </button>
        <div class="dropdown-menu">
          <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a>
          <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a>
          <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a>
          <div role="separator" class="dropdown-divider"></div>
          <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Separated link</a>
        </div>
      </div>
      <input type="text" class="form-control" aria-label="Text input with dropdown button">
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="col-lg-6">
    <div class="input-group">
      <input type="text" class="form-control" aria-label="Text input with dropdown button">
      <div class="input-group-btn">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
          Action
        </button>
        <div class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-right">
          <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a>
          <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a>
          <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a>
          <div role="separator" class="dropdown-divider"></div>
          <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Separated link</a>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
{% endexample %}

## Segmented buttons

{% example html %}
<div class="row">
  <div class="col-lg-6">
    <div class="input-group">
      <div class="input-group-btn">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">Action</button>
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle dropdown-toggle-split" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">

        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

## Custom forms

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

### Custom select

{% example html %}
<div class="input-group mb-3">
  <label class="input-group-addon" for="inputGroupSelect01">Options</label>
  <select class="custom-select" id="inputGroupSelect01">
    <option selected>Choose...</option>
    <option value="1">One</option>
    <option value="2">Two</option>
    <option value="3">Three</option>
  </select>
</div>

<div class="input-group mb-3">
  <select class="custom-select" id="inputGroupSelect02">
    <option selected>Choose...</option>
    <option value="1">One</option>
    <option value="2">Two</option>
    <option value="3">Three</option>
  </select>
  <label class="input-group-addon" for="inputGroupSelect02">Options</label>
</div>

<div class="input-group mb-3">
  <span class="input-group-btn">
    <button class="btn btn-secondary" type="button">Button</button>
  </span>
  <select class="custom-select" id="inputGroupSelect03">
    <option selected>Choose...</option>
    <option value="1">One</option>
    <option value="2">Two</option>
    <option value="3">Three</option>
  </select>
</div>

<div class="input-group">
  <select class="custom-select" id="inputGroupSelect04">
    <option selected>Choose...</option>
    <option value="1">One</option>
    <option value="2">Two</option>
    <option value="3">Three</option>
  </select>
  <span class="input-group-btn">
    <button class="btn btn-secondary" type="button">Button</button>
  </span>
</div>
{% endexample %}

### Custom file input

{% example html %}
<div class="input-group mb-3">
  <span class="input-group-addon">Upload</span>
  <label class="custom-file">
    <input type="file" id="inputGroupFile01" class="custom-file-input" required>
    <span class="custom-file-control"></span>
  </label>
</div>

<div class="input-group mb-3">
  <label class="custom-file">
    <input type="file" id="inputGroupFile02" class="custom-file-input" required>
    <span class="custom-file-control"></span>
  </label>

<div class="input-group mb-3">
  <span class="input-group-btn">
    <button class="btn btn-secondary" type="button">Button</button>
  </span>
  <label class="custom-file">
    <input type="file" id="inputGroupFile03" class="custom-file-input" required>
    <span class="custom-file-control"></span>
  </label>
</div>

<div class="input-group">
  <label class="custom-file">
    <input type="file" id="inputGroupFile04" class="custom-file-input" required>
    <span class="custom-file-control"></span>
  </label>
  <span class="input-group-btn">
    <button class="btn btn-secondary" type="button">Button</button>
  </span>
</div>
{% endexample %}

## 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 `.sr-only` 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.
