input group
Easily extend form controls by adding text, buttons, or button groups on either side of textual inputs, custom selects, and custom file inputs.
Place one add-on or button on either side of an input. You may also place one on both sides of an input. Remember to place <label>s outside the input group.

Sizing on the individual input group elements isn't supported.

</div>Screen readers will have trouble with your forms if you don't include a label for every input. For these input groups, ensure that any additional label or functionality is conveyed to assistive technologies.
The exact technique to be used ( <label>elements hidden using the .sr-onlyclass, or use of the aria-labeland aria-labelledbyattributes, possibly in combination with aria-describedby) and what additional information will need to be conveyed will vary depending on the exact type of interface widget you're implementing. The examples in this section provide a few suggested, case-specific approaches.
