Bootstrap 4 Form Input With Icon For Validation


Answer :

Bootstrap 4 doesn't include icons (glyphicons are gone), and there are now just 2 validation states (is-valid and is-invalid) that control display of the valid-feedback and invalid-feedback text.

With a little extra CSS, you can position an icon inside the input (to the right), and control its' display using is-valid or is-invalid on the form-control input. Use a font lib like fontawesome for the icons. I created a new feedback-icon class that you can add to the valid/invalid-feedback.

.valid-feedback.feedback-icon, .invalid-feedback.feedback-icon {     position: absolute;     width: auto;     bottom: 10px;     right: 10px;     margin-top: 0; } 

HTML

<div class="form-group position-relative">      <label for="input2">Valid with icon</label>      <input type="text" class="form-control is-valid" id="input2">      <div class="valid-feedback feedback-icon">           <i class="fa fa-check"></i>      </div>      <div class="invalid-feedback feedback-icon">           <i class="fa fa-times"></i>      </div> </div>

Notice that the containing form-group is position:relative using the position-relative class.


Form validation icons are built-in Bootstrap 4.3.1, see documentation here : https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.3/components/forms/#custom-styles

For a client-side validation, you can use ParsleyJS plugin. See a demo here : https://jsfiddle.net/djibe89/tu0ap111/
