React Bootstrap Form Text

In this article, we will learn about the concept of React Bootstrap Form Text. Form.Text in React Bootstrap is the component mainly used for rendering the text in the form. We can display the information, help messages, and other textual contents in the application by using this component. We will see the Syntax, Properties, and practical implementation of React Bootstrap Form Text.

Syntax:

<Form.Text className="text-muted">
  {/* textcontent */}
</Form.Text>

Properties:

• id: This property is the unique identifier fo the Form.Text component.
• className: This property is used to define the CSS classes that we can apply to the Form.Text component.
• bsPrefix: This property mainly overrides the default Bootstrap prefix, which allows the customization of class names.
• …props: This property can be used to pass the props that are not explicitly handled.

Steps to create React Application And Installing Module:

Step 1: Create a React application using the following command:

npx create-react-app foldername

Step 2: After creating your project folder i.e. foldername, move to it using the following command:

cd foldername

Step 3: After creating the ReactJS application, Install the required module using the following command:

npm install react-bootstrap 
npm install bootstrap

Project Structure:

The updated dependencies in package.json file will look like:

"dependencies": {
    "bootstrap": "^5.3.2",
    "react": "^18.2.0",
    "react-bootstrap": "^2.9.0",
    "react-dom": "^18.2.0",
    "react-scripts": "5.0.1",
    "web-vitals": "^2.1.4"
}

Example: Now write down the following code in the App.js file. Here, App is our default component where we have written our code.

Javascript

import React from "react";
import { Form, Container, Row, Col } from "react-bootstrap";
import "bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css";
const App = () => {
    return (
        <Container className="mt-5">
            <Row>
                <Col md={{ span: 6, offset: 3 }}>
                    <h1
                        style={{
                            color: "green",
                        }}
                    >
                        GeeksforGeeks
                    </h1>
                    <h3>React Bootstrap Form Text</h3>
                    <Form>
                        <Form.Group controlId="username">
                            <Form.Label>Username</Form.Label>
                            <Form.Control
                                type="text"
                                placeholder="Enter your username"
                            />
                            <Form.Text
                                id="usernameHelp"
                                className="text-muted"
                                bsPrefix="geeks-form-text"

                            </Form.Text>
                        </Form.Group>
                        <Form.Group controlId="password">
                            <Form.Label>Password</Form.Label>
                            <Form.Control
