# Form controls

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

## Example

Email address
Example textarea

                          <div class="mb-3">
                            <label for="exampleFormControlInput1" class="form-label">Email address</label>
                            <input type="email" class="form-control" id="exampleFormControlInput1" placeholder="name@example.com">
                          </div>
                          <div class="mb-3">
                            <label for="exampleFormControlTextarea1" class="form-label">Example textarea</label>
                            <textarea class="form-control" id="exampleFormControlTextarea1" rows="3"></textarea>
                          </div>

## Sizing

Set heights using classes like `.form-control-xl`, `.form-control-lg` and `.form-control-sm`.

                          <input class="form-control form-control-xl mb-3" type="text" placeholder=".form-control-xl" aria-label=".form-control-xl example">
                          <input class="form-control form-control-lg border-primary" type="text" placeholder=".form-control-lg" aria-label=".form-control-lg example">
                          <input class="form-control border-success" type="text" placeholder="Default input" aria-label="deafult input example">
                          <input class="form-control form-control-sm border-danger" type="text" placeholder=".form-control-sm" aria-label=".form-control-sm example">

## Disabled

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

                          <input class="form-control" type="text" placeholder="Disabled input" aria-label="Disabled input example" disabled>
                          <input class="form-control" type="text" placeholder="Disabled readonly input" aria-label="Disabled input example" disabled readonly>

## Readonly

Add the `readonly` boolean attribute 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.

                          <input class="form-control" type="text" placeholder="Readonly input here..." aria-label="readonly input example" readonly>

## Readonly plain text

If you want to have `<input readonly>` elements in your form styled as plain text, use the `.form-control-plaintext` class to remove the default form field styling and preserve the correct margin and padding.

## Datalists

Datalists allow you to create a group of `<option>`s that can be accessed (and autocompleted) from within an `<input>`. These are similar to `<select>` elements, but come with more menu styling limitations and differences. While most browsers and operating systems include some support for `<datalist>` elements, their styling is inconsistent at best.
