Form.Control.Feedback

Alias: Form.Text

Provide help text or validation feedback to the user about about a form control. Form.Control.Feedback uses a FormGroupContext (provided by Form.Group) to ensure that it has a unique id and that that id is added to a related Form.Control via aria-describedby according to WCAG guidelines.

Note: Form.Control.Feedback is aliased as Form.Text for backward compatibility for those using the React Bootstrap component.
