Bootstrap Input Class

Intro

Most of the components we put into action in data sheets to capture user info are offered by the

<input>

tag.

You can easily add to form limitations simply by adding in text, switches, or tab groups on each part of textual

<input>

-s.

The different forms of Bootstrap Input Class are determined due to the value of their type attribute.

Next, we'll describe the approved styles with regard to this specific tag.

Text message

<Input type ="text" name ="username">

Most probably some of the most frequent style of input, which has the attribute

type ="text"

, is put to use each time we desire the user to write a elementary textual information, considering that this specific element does not allow the access of line breaks.

Whenever launching the form, the details inputed by site visitor is available on the server side via the

"name"

attribute, chosen to determine each information contained in the request specifications.

To have access to the information typed anytime we treat the form together with some type of script, to approve the web content for example, it is needed to obtain the materials of the value property of the object in the DOM. ( more info)

Pass word

<Input type="password" name="pswd">

Bootstrap Input Text that gets the

type="password"

attribute is similar to the text type, with the exception that it does not expose really the words inserted by the user, though instead a number of symbols "*" or another depending upon the web browser and working system .

Standard Bootstrap Input File example

Place one add-on or button on either side of an input.

<div class="input-group">
  <span class="input-group-addon" id="basic-addon1">@</span>
  <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Username" aria-describedby="basic-addon1">
</div>
<br>
<div class="input-group">
  <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="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>

Sizes

Put in the relative form sizing classes to the

.input-group

itself and components inside will instantly resize-- no need for reproducing the form regulation size classes on every feature.

<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-describedby="sizing-addon1">
</div>
<br>
<div class="input-group">
  <span class="input-group-addon" id="sizing-addon2">@</span>
  <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Username" aria-describedby="sizing-addon2">
</div>

Place any sort of checkbox or radio possibility within an input group’s addon in place of of text.

Checkbox button feature

The input component of the checkbox variation is pretty often applied as we have an possibility which can be marked as yes or no, as an example "I accept the terms of the user contract", or else " Maintain the active treatment" in documents Login. ( learn more)

Despite the fact that frequently employed through the value

true

, you can surely determine any value for the checkbox.

<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>

Radio button approach

Anytime we want the user to pick a single of a series of options, we can probably utilize input features of the radio style.

Just one can be picked whenever there is more than one particular element of this style using the equivalent value inside the name attribute.

<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>

Numerous addons

Multiple additions are maintained and may possibly be combined together with checkbox as well as radio input versions.

<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>

Input group: extra buttons variations

<Input type ="button" name ="show_dialogue" value ="Click here!">

The input feature with the

type="button"

attribute states a tab in the form, on the other hand this tab has no straight purpose on it and is usually utilized to activate events with regards to script performance.

The button content is determined with value of the

"value"

attribute.

.input-group-btn
