</form>Horizontal form
Create horizontal forms with the grid by adding the .row class to form groups and using the .col-*-* classes to specify the width of your labels and controls. Be sure to add .col-form-label to your <label>s as well so they’re vertically centered with their associated form controls.
<form>
<div class="row mb-3">
<label class="col-sm-2 col-form-label" for="inputEmail3">Email</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input class="form-control" id="inputEmail3" type="email" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="row mb-3">
<label class="col-sm-2 col-form-label" for="inputPassword3">Password</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input class="form-control" id="inputPassword3" type="password" />
</div>
</div>
<fieldset>
<div class="row mb-3">

<label class="form-check-label" for="gridCheck1">Example checkbox</label>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit">Sign in</button>
</form>Horizontal form label sizing
Be sure to use .col-form-label-sm or .col-form-label-lg to your <label>s or <legend>s to correctly follow the size of .form-control-lg and .form-control-sm.
<div class="row mb-3">
<label class="col-sm-2 col-form-label col-form-label-sm" for="colFormLabelSm">Email</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input class="form-control form-control-sm" id="colFormLabelSm" type="email" placeholder="col-form-label-sm" />

</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<label class="col-sm-2 col-form-label col-form-label-lg" for="colFormLabelLg">Email</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input class="form-control form-control-lg" id="colFormLabelLg" type="email" placeholder="col-form-label-lg" />
</div>
</div>Form grid
More complex forms can be built using our grid classes. Use these for form layouts that require multiple columns, varied widths, and additional alignment options.Requires the $enable-grid-classes Sass variable to be enabled (on by default).
<div class="row">
<div class="col">
<input class="form-control" type="text" placeholder="First name" aria-label="First name" />
</div>
<div class="col">
<input class="form-control" type="text" placeholder="Last name" aria-label="Last name" />
</div>
</div>Form Grid Layout
More complex layouts can also be created with the grid system.
<form class="row g-3">
<div class="col-md-6">
<label class="form-label" for="inputEmail4">Email</label>
<input class="form-control" id="inputEmail4" type="email" />
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<label class="form-label" for="inputPassword4">Password</label>
<input class="form-control" id="inputPassword4" type="password" />
</div>
<div class="col-12">
<label class="form-label" for="inputAddress">Address</label>
<input class="form-control" id="inputAddress" type="text" placeholder="1234 Main St" />
</div>
<div class="col-12">
<label class="form-label" for="inputAddress2">Address 2</label>
<input class="form-control" id="inputAddress2" type="text" placeholder="Apartment, studio, or floor" />
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<label class="form-label" for="inputCity">City</label>
<input class="form-control" id="inputCity" type="text" />
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<label class="form-label" for="inputState">State</label>
<select class="form-select" id="inputState">
<option selected="selected">Choose...</option>
<option>...</option>
</select>
</div>
<div class="col-md-2">
<label class="form-label" for="inputZip">Zip</label>
<input class="form-control" id="inputZip" type="text" />
</div>
<div class="col-12">
<div class="form-check">
<input class="form-check-input" id="gridCheck" type="checkbox" />
<label class="form-check-label" for="gridCheck">Check me out</label>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-12">
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit">Sign in</button>
</div>
</form>Grid - Column Sizing
Grid system allows you to place any number of .cols within a .row. They’ll split the available width equally between them
<div class="row g-3">
<div class="col-sm-7">
<input class="form-control" type="text" placeholder="City" aria-label="City" />
</div>
<div class="col-sm">
<input class="form-control" type="text" placeholder="State" aria-label="State" />
</div>
<div class="col-sm">
<input class="form-control" type="text" placeholder="Zip" aria-label="Zip" />
</div>
</div>Grid - Auto Sizing
To make columns only take up as much space as needed change .col classes to .col-auto
<form class="row gy-2 gx-3 align-items-center">
<div class="col-auto">
<label class="visually-hidden" for="autoSizingInput">Name</label>
<input class="form-control" id="autoSizingInput" type="text" placeholder="Jane Doe" />
</div>
<div class="col-auto">
<label class="visually-hidden" for="autoSizingInputGroup">Username</label>
<div class="input-group">
<div class="input-group-text">@</div>
<input class="form-control" id="autoSizingInputGroup" type="text" placeholder="Username" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-auto">
<label class="visually-hidden" for="autoSizingSelect">Preference</label>
<select class="form-select" id="autoSizingSelect">
<option selected="selected">Choose...</option>
<option value="1">One</option>
<option value="2">Two</option>
<option value="3">Three</option>
</select>
</div>
<div class="col-auto">
<div class="form-check mb-0">
<input class="form-check-input" id="autoSizingCheck" type="checkbox" />
<label class="form-check-label mb-0" for="autoSizingCheck">Remember me</label>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-auto">
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit">Submit</button>
</div>
</form>Gutters
By adding gutter modifier classes, you can have control over the gutter width in as well the inline as block direction. Also requires the $enable-grid-classes Sass variable to be enabled (on by default).
<div class="row g-3">
<div class="col">
<input class="form-control" type="text" placeholder="First name" aria-label="First name" />
</div>
<div class="col">
<input class="form-control" type="text" placeholder="Last name" aria-label="Last name" />
</div>
</div>Inline forms
Use the .row-cols-* classes to create responsive horizontal layouts. By adding gutter modifier classes, we’ll have gutters in horizontal and vertical directions. On narrow mobile viewports, the .col-12 helps stack the form controls and more. The .align-items-center aligns the form elements to the middle, making the .form-checkbox align properly.
<form class="row row-cols-lg-5 g-3 align-items-center">
<div class="col-12">
<label class="sr-only" for="inlineFormInputName">Name</label>
<input class="form-control" id="inlineFormInputName" type="text" placeholder="Jane Doe" />
</div>
<div class="col-12">
<label class="sr-only" for="inlineFormInputGroupUsername">Username</label>
<div class="input-group">
<div class="input-group-text">@</div>
<input class="form-control" id="inlineFormInputGroupUsername" type="text" placeholder="Username" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-12">
<label class="sr-only" for="inlineFormSelectPref">Preference</label>
<select class="form-select" id="inlineFormSelectPref">
<option selected="">Choose...</option>
<option value="1">One</option>
<option value="2">Two</option>
<option value="3">Three</option>
</select>
</div>
<div class="col-12">
<div class="form-check mb-0">
<input class="form-check-input" id="inlineFormCheck" type="checkbox" />
<label class="mb-0 form-check-label" for="inlineFormCheck">Remember me</label>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-12">
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit">Submit</button>
</div>
</form>Utilities
Margin utilities are the easiest way to add some structure to forms. They provide basic grouping of labels, controls, optional form text, and form validation messaging. We recommend sticking to margin-bottom utilities, and using a single direction throughout the form for consistency.
<div class="mb-3">
<label class="form-label" for="formGroupExampleInput">Example label</label>
<input class="form-control" id="formGroupExampleInput" type="text" placeholder="Example input placeholder" />
</div>
<div class="mb-3">
<label class="form-label" for="formGroupExampleInput2">Another label</label>
<input class="form-control" id="formGroupExampleInput2" type="text" placeholder="Another input placeholder" />
</div>
