input icon show in the middle


Topic: input icon show in the middle

ftansari asked 6 years ago

Hi there, I tried to use the MDBInput form with icon. But somehow after I put it into my react component, the icon becomes in the center of the field.

Expected behavior the Icon should be in the left like in the example

Actual behavior it goes to the middle

Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.)

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import {MDBContainer, MDBRow, MDBCol, MDBInput, MDBBtn, MDBCard, MDBCardBody,         MDBIcon} from 'mdbreact';

export default class ExpenseForm extends Component {
  render() {
return (
  <div>

      <MDBContainer>
      <i className="fa fa-user prefix" />
        <MDBInput label="Material input" icon="user"  />

      </MDBContainer>

  </div>
)
  }
}

the result from code above: showing in the middle

Hi @ftansari ,

it's because one of the parent elements have a class text-center or something similar which adds text-align: center CSS rule.

To fix this add containerClass="text-left" prop to the MDBInput component, like this:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { MDBContainer, MDBInput, } from 'mdbreact';

export default class ExpenseForm extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <div>

        <MDBContainer >
          <MDBInput label="Material input" icon="user" containerClass="text-left" />
        </MDBContainer>

      </div>
    )
  }
}
