In Bootstrap 3 there were optional icons for each of the validation states. The icon would appear in the right side of the input using the has-feedback, has-success, has-danger, etc... classes.
How can I get this same functionality in Bootstrap 4 using the valid-feedback or invalid-feedback classes?

Bootstrap 4 doesn't include icons (glyphicons are gone), and there are now just 2 validation states (is-valid and is-invalid) that control display of the valid-feedback and invalid-feedback text.
With a little extra CSS, you can position an icon inside the input (to the right), and control its' display using is-valid or is-invalid on the form-control input. Use a font lib like fontawesome for the icons. I created a new feedback-icon class that you can add to the valid/invalid-feedback.
.valid-feedback.feedback-icon,
.invalid-feedback.feedback-icon {
position: absolute;
width: auto;
bottom: 10px;
right: 10px;
margin-top: 0;
}
HTML
<div class="form-group position-relative">
<label for="input2">Valid with icon</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control is-valid" id="input2">
<div class="valid-feedback feedback-icon">
<i class="fa fa-check"></i>
</div>
<div class="invalid-feedback feedback-icon">
<i class="fa fa-times"></i>
</div>
</div>

Form validation icons are built-in Bootstrap 4.3.1, see documentation here : https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.3/components/forms/#custom-styles
For a client-side validation, you can use ParsleyJS plugin. See a demo here : https://jsfiddle.net/djibe89/tu0ap111/
