Issue with ReactStrap input group sizing (width not expanding correctly)

Has anyone else encountered a bug where an input group addon or dropdown is taking up half of the width instead of 100%? It seems that in Reactstrp docs, this behavior is not expected.

I want my input group to occupy the full width like the rest of the elements. Check out the Reactstrp documentation here

This is the current setup:

If I inspect the element:

You can observe that the InputGroupButton does not have proper padding or margin settings as expected to handle this issue.

Here's a snippet of the React render for the password field:

render() {
        return (
            <Label className="password">
                <InputGroup>
                    <Input
                        className="password__input"
                        placeholder="Password"
                        type={this.state.type}
                        onChange={this.passwordStrength}
                    />
                    <InputGroupButton><Button onClick={this.showHide}>
                        {this.state.type === 'password' ?
                            <i className="fa fa-eye" aria-hidden="true" />
                            :
                            <i className="fa fa-eye-slash" aria-hidden="true" />
                        }</Button></InputGroupButton>
                </InputGroup>
                <span
                    className="password__strength"
                    data-score={this.state.score}
                />
            </Label>
        );
    }
    

And here's the rendering that triggers it (used in "ShowPassword"):

render() {
        return (
            <div>
                <Button color="info" onClick={this.toggle}>{this.props.buttonLabel}</Button>
                <Modal isOpen={this.state.modal} toggle={this.toggle} className={this.props.className}>
                    <ModalHeader toggle={this.toggle}>Create an Account</ModalHeader>
                    <ModalBody>
                        Please provide the information below to create your account
                        <InputGroup>
                            <Input placeholder="Username" />
                        </InputGroup>
                        <InputGroup>
                            <Input placeholder="Email" />
                        </InputGroup>
                        <InputGroup>
                            <ShowPassword />
                        </InputGroup>
                        <InputGroup>
                            <Input placeholder="Confirm Password"/>
                        </InputGroup>
                    </ModalBody>
                    <ModalFooter>
                        <Button color="primary" onClick={this.toggle}>Submit</Button>{' '}
                        <Button color="secondary" onClick={this.toggle}>Cancel</Button>
                    </ModalFooter>
                </Modal>
            </div>
        );
    }

This issue is not a bug but rather caused by using reactstrap in an unintended manner. It's important to note that reactstrap is built on the Bootstrap CSS Library, which has specific guidelines for structuring elements and CSS classes as outlined in its documentation. Failure to adhere to these guidelines can lead to unexpected rendering results.

For instance, Bootstrap expects certain elements like Input, InputGroupButton, and InputGroupAddon to be nested within the InputGroup. In your case, replacing ShowPassword with its correct JSX structure reveals a misalignment where a Label is enclosed within an InputGroup, followed by another InputGroup encapsulated within the former Label.

To address this, consider wrapping your ShowPassword component with a div instead of a Label.

render() {
  return (
    <div className="password">
      <InputGroup>
        <Input
          className="password__input"
          placeholder="Password"
          type={this.state.type}
          onChange={this.passwordStrength}
        />
        <InputGroupButton>
          <Button onClick={this.showHide}>
            {this.state.type === "password"
              ? <i className="fa fa-eye" aria-hidden="true" />
              : <i className="fa fa-eye-slash" aria-hidden="true" />}
          </Button>
        </InputGroupButton>
      </InputGroup>
      <span className="password__strength" data-score={this.state.score} />
    </div>
  );
}

Furthermore, ensure that any additional unnecessary InputGroup wrapping the ShowPassword component is removed.

render() {
  return (
    <div>
      <Button color="info" onClick={this.toggle}>
        {this.props.buttonLabel}
      </Button>
      <Modal
        isOpen={this.state.modal}
        toggle={this.toggle}
        className={this.props.className}
      >
        <ModalHeader toggle={this.toggle}>Create Account</ModalHeader>
        <ModalBody>
          Please fill in the fields below to create your account
          <InputGroup>
            <Input placeholder="Username" />
          </InputGroup>
          <InputGroup>
            <Input placeholder="Email" />
          </InputGroup>
          <ShowPassword />
          <InputGroup>
            <Input placeholder="Confirm" />
          </InputGroup>
        </ModalBody>
        <ModalFooter>
          <Button color="primary" onClick={this.toggle}>
            Send
          </Button>{" "}
          <Button color="secondary" onClick={this.toggle}>
            Cancel
          </Button>
        </ModalFooter>
      </Modal>
    </div>
  );
}

By making these adjustments, you should now achieve the desired outcome.
