    <input class="input is-danger" type="email" placeholder="Email" value="hello@">
  </div>
  <p class="help is-danger">This email is invalid</p>
</div>

<div class="field">
  <label class="label">Username</label>
  <div class="control">
    <input class="input is-success" type="text" placeholder="Username" value="bulma">
  </div>
  <p class="help is-success">This username is available</p>
</div>

​
Sizes

Inputs come in four sizes: 
<input class="input is-small" type="text" placeholder="Small input">
<input class="input" type="text" placeholder="Normal input">
<input class="input is-medium" type="text" placeholder="Medium input">

​
Styles

​
Rounded Input

Create fully rounded inputs: 
<input class="input is-rounded" type="text" placeholder="Rounded input">

​
Static Input

The is-static modifier removes background, border, and shadow while maintaining vertical spacing: 
<div class="field is-horizontal">
  <div class="field-label is-normal">
    <label class="label">From</label>
  </div>
  <div class="field-body">
    <div class="field">
      <p class="control">
        <input class="input is-static" type="email" value="[email protected]" readonly>
      </p>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

<div class="field is-horizontal">
  <div class="field-label is-normal">
    <label class="label">To</label>
  </div>
  <div class="field-body">
    <div class="field">
      <p class="control">
        <input class="input" type="email" placeholder="Recipient email">
      </p>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

​
States

​
Normal

<div class="control">
  <input class="input" type="text" placeholder="Normal input">
</div>

​
Hover

Force the hover state with is-hovered: 
<div class="control">
  <input class="input is-hovered" type="text" placeholder="Hovered input">
</div>

​
Focus

Force the focus state with is-focused: 
<div class="control">
  <input class="input is-focused" type="text" placeholder="Focused input">
</div>

​
Loading

Add a loading spinner to indicate processing: 
<div class="control is-loading">
  <input class="input" type="text" placeholder="Loading input">
</div>
Control the loading spinner size: 
<div class="control is-small is-loading">
  <input class="input is-small" type="text" placeholder="Small loading">
</div>

<div class="control is-medium is-loading">
  <input class="input is-medium" type="text" placeholder="Medium loading">
</div>

<div class="control is-large is-loading">
  <input class="input is-large" type="text" placeholder="Large loading">
</div>

​
Disabled

Disable an input with the disabled attribute: 
<div class="control">
  <input class="input" type="text" placeholder="Disabled input" disabled>
</div>

​
Readonly

Make an input readonly with the readonly attribute: 
<div class="control">
  <input class="input" type="text" value="This text is readonly" readonly>
</div>
The readonly input looks similar to a normal input but is not editable and has no shadow.

​
With Icons

Add icons to inputs using the has-icons-left and has-icons-right modifiers on the control.

​
Left and Right Icons

<div class="field">
  <p class="control has-icons-left has-icons-right">
    <input class="input" type="email" placeholder="Email">
    <span class="icon is-small is-left">
      <i class="fas fa-envelope"></i>
    </span>
    <span class="icon is-small is-right">
      <i class="fas fa-check"></i>
    </span>
  </p>
</div>

​
Left Icon Only

<div class="field">
  <p class="control has-icons-left">
    <input class="input" type="password" placeholder="Password">
    <span class="icon is-small is-left">
      <i class="fas fa-lock"></i>
    </span>
  </p>
</div>

​
Icons with Sizes

Icons automatically adjust to match the input size: 
<!-- Small input with icons -->
<div class="control has-icons-left has-icons-right">
  <input class="input is-small" type="email" placeholder="Small">
  <span class="icon is-small is-left">
    <i class="fas fa-envelope"></i>
  </span>
  <span class="icon is-small is-right">
    <i class="fas fa-check"></i>
  </span>
</div>

<!-- Medium input with icons -->
<div class="control has-icons-left has-icons-right">
  <input class="input is-medium" type="email" placeholder="Medium">
  <span class="icon is-left">
    <i class="fas fa-envelope"></i>
  </span>
  <span class="icon is-right">
    <i class="fas fa-check"></i>
  </span>
</div>

<!-- Large input with icons -->
<div class="control has-icons-left has-icons-right">
  <input class="input is-large" type="email" placeholder="Large">
  <span class="icon is-medium is-left">
    <i class="fas fa-envelope"></i>
  </span>
  <span class="icon is-medium is-right">
    <i class="fas fa-check"></i>
  </span>
</div>

​
Icons with Colors

Combine icons with colored inputs for validation feedback: 
<div class="field">
  <label class="label">Username</label>
  <div class="control has-icons-left has-icons-right">
    <input class="input is-success" type="text" placeholder="Username" value="bulma">
    <span class="icon is-small is-left">
      <i class="fas fa-user"></i>
    </span>
    <span class="icon is-small is-right">
      <i class="fas fa-check"></i>
    </span>
  </div>
  <p class="help is-success">This username is available</p>
</div>

<div class="field">
  <label class="label">Email</label>
  <div class="control has-icons-left has-icons-right">
    <input class="input is-danger" type="email" placeholder="Email" value="hello@">
    <span class="icon is-small is-left">
      <i class="fas fa-envelope"></i>
    </span>
    <span class="icon is-small is-right">
      <i class="fas fa-exclamation-triangle"></i>
    </span>
  </div>
  <p class="help is-danger">This email is invalid</p>
</div>

​
Width Modifiers

​
Full Width

Inputs are full width by default when inside a control: 
<div class="control">
  <input class="input" type="text" placeholder="Full width input">
</div>

​
Inline

Make an input inline: 
<input class="input is-inline" type="text" placeholder="Inline input">

​
Form Integration

Inputs work seamlessly with Bulma’s form structure: 
<form>
  <div class="field">
    <label class="label">Name</label>
    <div class="control has-icons-left">
      <input class="input" type="text" placeholder="John Doe" required>
      <span class="icon is-small is-left">
        <i class="fas fa-user"></i>
      </span>
    </div>
  </div>

  <div class="field">
    <label class="label">Email</label>
    <div class="control has-icons-left">
      <input class="input" type="email" placeholder="[email protected]" required>
      <span class="icon is-small is-left">
        <i class="fas fa-envelope"></i>
      </span>
    </div>
    <p class="help">We'll never share your email with anyone else</p>
  </div>

  <div class="field is-grouped">
    <div class="control">
      <button class="button is-link" type="submit">Submit</button>
    </div>
    <div class="control">
      <button class="button is-link is-light" type="reset">Cancel</button>
    </div>
  </div>
</form>
