Form Controls

Give textual form controls like <input.Item>s and <textarea.Item>s an upgrade with custom styles, sizing, focus states, and more.

Example

For textual form controls—like inputs and textareas—use the FormControl component. FormControl adds some additional styles for general appearance, focus state, sizing, and more.

Design
Code
<Form>
    <Form.Group className="mb-3" controlId="exampleForm.ControlInput1">
        <Form.Label>Email address</Form.Label>
        <Form.Control type="email" placeholder="name@example.com" />
    </Form.Group>
    <Form.Group className="mb-3" controlId="exampleForm.ControlTextarea1">
        <Form.Label>Example textarea</Form.Label>
        <Form.Control as="textarea" rows={3} />
    </Form.Group>
</Form>

Sizing

Use size on <FormControl> to change the size of the input.

Design
Code


<Form>
    <Form.Control size="lg" type="text" placeholder="Large text" />
    <br />
    <Form.Control type="text" placeholder="Normal text" />
    <br />
    <Form.Control size="sm" type="text" placeholder="Small text" />
</Form>

Disabled

Add the disabled prop on an input to give it a grayed out appearance and remove pointer events.

Design
Code

<Form>
    <Form.Control
        type="text"
        placeholder="Disabled input"
        aria-label="Disabled input example"
        disabled
        readOnly
    />
    <br />
    <Form.Control
        type="text"
        placeholder="Disabled readonly input"
        aria-label="Disabled input example"
        readOnly
    />
</Form>

Readonly

Add the readOnly prop on an input to prevent modification of the input's value. Read-only inputs appear lighter (just like disabled inputs), but retain the standard cursor.

Design
Code
<Form>
    <Form.Control type="text" placeholder="Readonly input here..." readOnly />
</Form>

Readonly plain text

If you want to have readonly elements in your form styled as plain text, use the plaintext prop on FormControls to remove the default form field styling and preserve the correct margin and padding.

Design
Code
<Form>
    <Form.Group as={Row} className="mb-3" controlId="formPlaintextEmail">
        <Form.Label column sm="2">
            Email
        </Form.Label>
        <Col sm="10">
            <Form.Control plaintext readOnly defaultValue="email@example.com" />
        </Col>
    </Form.Group>


    <Form.Group as={Row} className="mb-3" controlId="formPlaintextPassword">
        <Form.Label column sm="2">
            Password
        </Form.Label>
        <Col sm="10">
            <Form.Control type="password" placeholder="Password" />
        </Col>
    </Form.Group>
</Form>

File input

Design
Code
<Form>
    <Form.Group controlId="formFile" className="mb-3">
        <Form.Label>Default file input example</Form.Label>
        <Form.Control type="file" />
    </Form.Group>
    <Form.Group controlId="formFileMultiple" className="mb-3">
        <Form.Label>Multiple files input example</Form.Label>
        <Form.Control type="file" multiple />
    </Form.Group>
    <Form.Group controlId="formFileDisabled" className="mb-3">
        <Form.Label>Disabled file input example</Form.Label>
        <Form.Control type="file" disabled />
    </Form.Group>
    <Form.Group controlId="formFileSm" className="mb-3">
        <Form.Label>Small file input example</Form.Label>
        <Form.Control type="file" size="sm" />
    </Form.Group>
    <Form.Group controlId="formFileLg" className="mb-3">
        <Form.Label>Large file input example</Form.Label>
        <Form.Control type="file" size="lg" />
    </Form.Group>
</Form>
