Validation states

To inform users whether the entered value is correct or not, use either of the validation states. Thanks to that, users will immediately know which form elements they need to correct and, if the state displays as invalid, why the value is incorrect.

To apply the validation state to the form control, use the .is-valid and .is-invalid classes.

{% capture html -%} {%- endcapture %} {% include "docs/example.html" html=html %}

Validation feedback

To provide users with additional information about the validation state, you can use the .valid-feedback and .invalid-feedback classes.

{% capture html -%}

City
Please provide a valid city.
{%- endcapture %} {% include "docs/example.html" html=html %}

You can also use the .valid-feedback to provide users with positive feedback.

{% capture html -%}

City
Looks good!
{%- endcapture %} {% include "docs/example.html" html=html %}

Subtle validation states

If you prefer a more subtle manner of informing users of the input control validation state, you can use tick and cross symbols and refrain from using colored control frames and the validation feedback.

To do this, use the .is-valid-lite and .is-invalid-lite classes.

{% capture html -%} {%- endcapture %} {% include "docs/example.html" html=html %}
