Icons

To add icons to a text input, wrap the input in a div using the class chi-input__wrapper. Next, add the icon as a sibling of the input and utilize an icon alignment utility class (e.g. -icon--left) to specify where it should be placed.

Floating labels

Floating labels are a solution to keep the placeholder visible when no label is attached to the input. Chi only supports floating labels on -lg and -xl inputs.
