<label class="form-label" for="exampleFormControlInput1">Email address</label>
<input class="form-control" id="exampleFormControlInput1" type="email" placeholder="name@example.com" />

<div class="mb-3">

</div>
<div class="mb-3">

</div>
<div class="mb-3">
<input class="form-control form-control-sm" type="text" placeholder=".form-control-sm" aria-label=".form-control-sm example" />
</div>Readonly plain text
If you want to have input readonly elements in your form styled as plain text, use the .form-control-plaintext class to remove the default form field styling and preserve the correct margin and padding.
<div class="mb-3 row">
<label class="col-sm-2 col-form-label" for="staticEmail">Email</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input class="form-control-plaintext outline-none" id="staticEmail" type="text" readonly="" value="email@example.com" />
<div class="mb-3 row"></div>
</div>
<label class="col-sm-2 col-form-label" for="inputPassword">Password</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input class="form-control" id="inputPassword" type="password" />
</div>
</div>File Input
The file input is the most gnarly of the bunch and requires additional JavaScript if you’d like to hook them up with functional Choose File and selected file name text.
<div class="mb-3">
<label class="form-label" for="customFile">File input example</label>
<input class="form-control" id="customFile" type="file" />
</div>
<div class="mb-3">
<label class="form-label" for="formFileDisabled">Disabled file input example</label>
<input class="form-control" id="formFileDisabled" type="file" disabled="disabled" />
</div>
<div class="mb-3">
<label class="form-label" for="formFileMultiple">Multiple files input example</label>
<input class="form-control" id="formFileMultiple" type="file" multiple="multiple" />
</div>File Input Sizing
