Add A Clear Button To Bootstrap 4 Input Fields - input-clearer

The input-clearer plugin creates inline clear buttons inside Bootstrap 4 text fields that enable the users to clear away the current value.

The clear field button feature is available in IE 10-11, and was removed in Microsoft Edge.

Alternative plugins:

• Clear Input Field On Focus - autoclear
• Custom Input Clear Button - bootstrap-add-clear.js
• Create Clear Buttons For Bootstrap Inputs
• Add Reset Buttons On Input Fields - inputClear
• Clear Input Field Text On Fly - TextClear
• jQuery Input Clear Button Plugin For Bootstrap - Clear Button

How to use it:
