Align FontAwesome icon to <h1>

Question

I'm quite new to learning Bootstrap, but I have some trouble aligning my icon on the same line as my .

What it looks like right now.. I've been trying to fix it within the container, but also with rows, columns and several aligning methods. This is my code right now:

<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col">
    <h1 class="mb-3 ml-5">Products</h1>
    <button class="filterIcon navbar-toggler float-right align-self-start" type="button">
        <i class="fa fa-list"></i>
      </button>
      </div>
  </div>

Can someone show me what I'm doing wrong? I can't really seem to find the answer in documentation as well. If someone does have documentation, please show me so I can learn from it :).

Thank you!

You can use a flex layout to get the items aligned side by side and in the center vertically. For bootstrap, this means using the classes d-flex and align-items-center
