[FIXED] How to change "Choose file" text using Bootstrap 5

Issue

Is it impossible change choose file text of input file in Bootstrap 5 using CSS like Bootstrap 4?

And how can I add a margin to "No file chosen"?

Solution

Bootstrap 5 beta no longer provides a custom file input like Bootstrap 4 that used pseudo elements to override the browser's file input defaults. Therefore you'd have to use JS or make your own psuedo element to hide the Choose file.. area of the input...

#formFile::before {
  content: "Pick file";
  position: absolute;
  z-index: 2;
  display: block;
  background-color: #eee;
  width: 80px;
}

<div class="container min-vh-100 py-2">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col">
      <div class="mb-3">
        <input class="form-control" type="file" id="formFile">
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
