Input groups
Input groups attach text, icons or buttons to the sides of an input.
In this page:
Syntax
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-text">@</span>
<input type="text" class="form-control">
</div>Input groups
Wrap an input in .input-group and add .input-group-text or button elements before or after it. Groups can hold several inputs and support size classes like .input-group-lg. Keep a label associated with the input for accessibility.
Note:
Put labels outside the input group, not inside it.
