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. Remember to place <CFormLabel>s outside the input group.

vue

<template>
  <CInputGroup class="mb-3">
    <CInputGroupText id="basic-addon1">@</CInputGroupText>
    <CFormInput placeholder="Username" aria-label="Username" aria-describedby="basic-addon1" />
  </CInputGroup>
  <CInputGroup class="mb-3">
    <CFormInput
      placeholder="Recipient's username"
      aria-label="Recipient's username"
      aria-describedby="basic-addon2"
    />
    <CInputGroupText id="basic-addon2">@example.com</CInputGroupText>
  </CInputGroup>
  <CFormLabel for="basic-url">Your vanity URL</CFormLabel>
  <CInputGroup class="mb-3">
    <CInputGroupText id="basic-addon3">https://example.com/users/</CInputGroupText>
    <CFormInput id="basic-url" aria-describedby="basic-addon3" />
  </CInputGroup>
  <CInputGroup class="mb-3">
    <CInputGroupText>$</CInputGroupText>
    <CFormInput aria-label="Amount (to the nearest dollar)" />
    <CInputGroupText>.00</CInputGroupText>
  </CInputGroup>
  <CInputGroup class="mb-3">
    <CFormInput placeholder="Username" aria-label="Username" />
    <CInputGroupText>@</CInputGroupText>
    <CFormInput placeholder="Server" aria-label="Server" />
  </CInputGroup>
  <CInputGroup>
    <CInputGroupText>With textarea</CInputGroupText>
    <CFormTextarea aria-label="With textarea"></CFormTextarea>
  </CInputGroup>
</template>

<script setup>
import { CInputGroup, CInputGroupText, CFormInput, CFormLabel, CFormTextarea } from '@coreui/vue'
</script>

Wrapping

Input groups wrap by default via flex-wrap: wrap in order to accommodate custom form field validation within an input group. You may disable this with .flex-nowrap.

vue

<template>
  <CInputGroup class="flex-nowrap">
    <CInputGroupText id="addon-wrapping">@</CInputGroupText>
    <CFormInput placeholder="Username" aria-label="Username" aria-describedby="addon-wrapping" />
  </CInputGroup>
</template>

<script setup>
import { CInputGroup, CInputGroupText, CFormInput } from '@coreui/vue'
</script>

Sizing

Add the relative form sizing classes to the <CInputGroup> itself and contents within will automatically resize—no need for repeating the form control size classes on each element.

Sizing on the individual input group elements isn’t supported.

vue

<template>
  <CInputGroup size="sm" class="mb-3">
    <CInputGroupText id="inputGroup-sizing-sm">Small</CInputGroupText>
    <CFormInput aria-label="Sizing example input" aria-describedby="inputGroup-sizing-sm" />
  </CInputGroup>
  <CInputGroup class="mb-3">
    <CInputGroupText id="inputGroup-sizing-default">Default</CInputGroupText>
    <CFormInput aria-label="Sizing example input" aria-describedby="inputGroup-sizing-default" />
  </CInputGroup>
  <CInputGroup size="lg">
    <CInputGroupText id="inputGroup-sizing-lg">Large</CInputGroupText>
    <CFormInput aria-label="Sizing example input" aria-describedby="inputGroup-sizing-lg" />
  </CInputGroup>
</template>

<script setup>
import { CInputGroup, CInputGroupText, CFormInput } from '@coreui/vue'
</script>

Checkboxes and radios

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

vue

<template>
  <CInputGroup class="mb-3">
    <CInputGroupText>
      <CFormCheck type="checkbox" value="" aria-label="Checkbox for following text input" />
    </CInputGroupText>
    <CFormInput aria-label="Text input with checkbox" />
  </CInputGroup>
  <CInputGroup>
    <CInputGroupText>
      <CFormCheck type="radio" value="" aria-label="Radio button for following text input" />
    </CInputGroupText>
    <CFormInput aria-label="Text input with radio button" />
  </CInputGroup>
</template>

<script setup>
import { CInputGroup, CInputGroupText, CFormCheck, CFormInput } from '@coreui/vue'
</script>

Multiple inputs

While multiple <CFormInput>s are supported visually, validation styles are only available for input groups with a single <CFormInput>.

vue

<template>
  <CInputGroup>
    <CInputGroupText>First and last name</CInputGroupText>
    <CFormInput aria-label="First name" />
    <CFormInput aria-label="Last name" />
  </CInputGroup>
</template>

<script setup>
import { CInputGroup, CInputGroupText, CFormInput } from '@coreui/vue'
</script>

Multiple addons

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

vue

<template>
  <CInputGroup class="mb-3">
    <CInputGroupText>$</CInputGroupText>
    <CInputGroupText>0.00</CInputGroupText>
    <CFormInput aria-label="Dollar amount (with dot and two decimal places)" />
  </CInputGroup>
  <CInputGroup>
    <CFormInput aria-label="Dollar amount (with dot and two decimal places)" />
    <CInputGroupText>$</CInputGroupText>
    <CInputGroupText>0.00</CInputGroupText>
  </CInputGroup>
</template>

<script setup>
import { CInputGroup, CInputGroupText, CFormInput } from '@coreui/vue'
</script>

Button addons

vue

<template>
  <CInputGroup class="mb-3">
    <CButton type="button" color="secondary" variant="outline" id="button-addon1">Button</CButton>
    <CFormInput

      aria-label="Example text with button addon"
      aria-describedby="button-addon1"
    />
  </CInputGroup>
  <CInputGroup class="mb-3">
    <CFormInput
      placeholder="Recipient's username"

      aria-label="Recipient's username with two button addons"
    />
