Bootstrap 4 Font-awesome input icons

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to add font-awesome icons to my input fields. I found a design that I really like and I need to fit icons in the input field. This is what it looks like:

But my form looks like this, And I can't really figure out how to add them in. I looked for numerous answers but none of them worked out for me as always I hope I can find the answer here.

Anyhow, This is the code for the form.

' has-error' : '' }}"> <i class="fa fa-lock"></i> <input id="password" type="password" class="form-control custom-input" name="password" placeholder="Wachtwoord" required style="border-radius: 30px;"> </div> </div> </div> </form>

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

you can set the position:absulote to .fa then add position:relative to .form-control

 form i.fa { position: absolute; top: 6px; left: 20px; color: blue; font-size: 22px; z-index: 9999; } .form-control { position: relative; padding-left: 45px !important; }
