How to Fix the Icon Not Showing Issue in Bootstrap Input Groups

Creating user-friendly forms is a crucial aspect of web design, and Bootstrap provides easy ways to enhance form fields through input groups. However, an issue many developers encounter is the icon not showing within their input groups. In this guide, we’ll explore the problem of icons missing from input groups and provide a straightforward solution to display them correctly.

The Problem: Icon Not Displaying

You may have tried implementing an input group in Bootstrap with a text field and an icon, but found that only the text field was rendering. Your current code might look something like this:

In the above structure, while you expect to see an icon at the beginning of the input field, only the text box appears without the icon. This can be frustrating, but there is a way to resolve this issue.

The Solution: Adjust Your HTML Structure

To effectively show the icon along with the input field, you need an appropriate structure using Bootstrap's grid system. Here’s how you can modify your code using a form-group row layout. Follow the steps below:

Step 1: Use the Correct Container

Instead of using just the input-group, incorporate the form-group and row classes to create a more defined structure. This will help you align the label (icon) and input field more effectively within a grid layout.

Step 2: Modify Your Code

Here’s the refined version of your code that will ensure the icon is displayed alongside the text input:

Breakdown of the Code

The outer div has the classes form-group row, allowing the icon and input field to be part of a structured layout.

The label element contains the <i> tag which holds your Font Awesome icon. This label serves as a visual cue for the user.

The input element follows in its own div (col-lg-5), allowing you to style it according to Bootstrap’s grid system.

Conclusion

By adjusting your code structure using Bootstrap’s form-group and grid layout, you can easily resolve the issue of icons not appearing inside input groups. Not only does it enhance aesthetics but also improves usability by visually associating the icon with the input field. Now, you can confidently create more engaging forms that cater to your users' needs.
