You need to use other modifiers such as icon is-left class with has-icons-left class and icon is-right class with has-icons-right class along with the icon class.
The below simple example describes form fields with icons by using has-icons-left and has-icons-right classes −

By using form addons, you can easily prepend and append text or buttons to the text-based inputs. By adding prepended and appended content to an input field, you can add common elements to the user's input. The form controls can be added together by using has-addons modifier and group the form controls by using is-grouped modifier on the field container.
The below simple example describes use of form addons (using has-addons modifier) and form group (using is-grouped modifier) on the field container −

In the upcoming chapters of form, we have used variety of color classes such as is-primary, is-info, is-success, is-warning, is-danger, different types of sizes such as is-small, is-medium and is-large classes and states such as is-hovered, is-focused and is-rounded to display the input field.
