Form.Group

Leave feedback

Form.Group provides its children a context that contains ids and attributes that enable these components to relate to each other according to WCAG guidelines.

Form.Group renders a FormGroupContextProvider which will autogenerate a controlId if none is supplied and offers size, isInvalid, isValid in the context. Form.Control, Form.Label, and Form.Control.Feedback consume this context.
