Forms

Examples and usage guidelines for form control styles, layout options, and custom components for creating a wide variety of forms.

Inputs

Default

<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Default input">

Alternative

If you want to use forms on grayish background colors, you can use this beautiful alternative style which removes the borders and it is emphasized only by its shadow.

<div class="p-4 bg-secondary">
    <input type="text" class="form-control form-control-alternative" placeholder="Alternative input">
</div>

Flush

Remove all borders and shadows so you can use it inside other elements:

<input type="text" class="form-control form-control-flush" placeholder="Fulshed input">

Muted

Remove all borders and shadows so you can use it inside other elements:

<input type="text" class="form-control form-control-muted" placeholder="Muted input">

Form controls

Textual form controls—like <input>s, <select>s, and <textarea>s—are styled with the .form-control class. Included are styles for general appearance, focus state, sizing, and more.

For all form control you can apply the additional modifier classes explained in the Inputs section: .form-control-alternative, .form-control-flush and .form-control-muted.

</div>
<div class="custom-control custom-radio">
  <input type="radio" id="customRadio2" name="customRadio" class="custom-control-input">
