Content Navbar - Single

Single navbar component

Standard use case for navbar is main top or optional bottom navigation with various components. But in some cases, such as toolbars with form components (filters, content navigation, tabs etc), navbar as a stand alone component can be very useful. For such cases use standard navbar markup with .navbar-componentclass added to the .navbarcontainer and optional .roundedclass for rounded corners. And now you can use navbar wherever you want within .page-contentcontainer. Please note - nested navbars are not supported.

Dark navbar component

Unlike Bootstrap's default navbar color option, where all navbars require background helper class, default background colors are set in SASS and defined in $navbar-dark-bgand $navbar-light-bgvariables. So darknavbar component requires only default container classes along with optinal .roundedclass to make all corners rounded. Additionally you can add .bg-[color]helper class to apply custom background color.

Light navbar component

Light content navbar has dark border color with alpha transparency by default. You can also use additional .alpha-[color]color classes along with .border-[color]border classes if you want to highlight the navbar with custom light color. All colors within light navbar depend on main body color, keep that in mind if you want to change main text color in SASS variables.

Navbar component markup

Navbar component markup is similar to default navbar markup. But in most cases navbar component doesn't use .navbar-brandcontainer that occupies left navbar side, since content navbar has slightly different purpose and doesn't need brand logo. Use .navbar-componentclass to add bottom spacing and borders, and .roundedclass to make it rounded. Navbar component supports all available navbar styling and sizing options, including all navbar components.

Light navbar markup: 

<!-- Light navbar component --><div class="navbar navbar-light navbar-expand-md navbar-component">    <!-- Mobile toggler -->      <div class="d-md-none">              ...     </div>       <!-- /mobile toggler -->     <!-- Navbar content -->      <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbar-component">         <!-- Left content -->                <ul class="navbar-nav">                      <li class="nav-item">                                <a href="#" class="navbar-nav-link">Link</a>                      </li>                        ...             </ul>                <!-- /left content -->               <!-- Right content -->               <ul class="navbar-nav ml-md-auto">                   <li class="nav-item">                                <a href="#" class="navbar-nav-link">Link</a>                      </li>                        ...<!-- Navbar content -->           </ul>                <!-- /right content -->      </div>       <!-- /navbar content --></div><!-- /light navbar component -->

Dark navbar markup: 

<!-- Dark navbar component --><div class="navbar navbar-dark navbar-expand-md navbar-component">     <!-- Mobile toggler -->      <div class="d-md-none">              ...     </div>       <!-- /mobile toggler -->     <!-- Navbar content -->      <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbar-component">         <!-- Left content -->                <ul class="navbar-nav">                      <li class="nav-item">                                <a href="#" class="navbar-nav-link">Link</a>                      </li>                        ...             </ul>                <!-- /left content -->               <!-- Right content -->               <ul class="navbar-nav ml-md-auto">                   <li class="nav-item">                                <a href="#" class="navbar-nav-link">Link</a>                      </li>                        ...<!-- Navbar content -->           </ul>                <!-- /right content -->      </div>       <!-- /navbar content --></div><!-- /dark navbar component -->
Navbar classes
Navbar is a complex, but very flexible component. It supports different types of content, responsive utilities manage content appearance and spacing on various screen sizes, supports multiple sizing and color options etc. And everything can be changed on-the-fly directly in HTML markup. If you can't find an option you need, you can always extend default SCSS code. Table below demonstrates all available classes that can be used within the navbar:
Class Type Description
.navbar Required Default navbar class, must be used with any navbar type and color. Responsible for basic navbar and navbar components styling as a parent container.
.navbar-light Required This class is used for darkbackground colors - default dark color is set in $navbar-light-bgvariable, feel free to adjust the color according to your needs.
.navbar-light.alpha-* Optional Combination of these classes allows you to set custom lightcolor to the lightnavbar. Note - .navbar-lightis required, it's responsible for correct content styling.
.navbar-dark Required This class is used for darkbackground colors - default dark color is set in $navbar-dark-bgvariable, feel free to adjust the color according to your needs.
.navbar-dark.bg-* Optional Combination of these classes allows you to set custom darkcolor to the darknavbar. Note - .navbar-darkis required, it's responsible for correct content styling.
.navbar-expand-[breakpoint] Optional For navbars that never collapse, add the .navbar-expandclass on the navbar. For navbars that always collapse, don’t add any .navbar-expandclass. Otherwise use this class to change when navbar content collapses behind a button.
.navbar-brand Required Class for logo container. It can be applied to most elements, but an anchor works best as some elements might require utility classes or custom styles
.navbar-toggler Required This class needs to be added to the navbar toggle button that toggles navbar content on small screens. Always used with visibility utility classes.
.navbar-collapse Required Groups and hides navbar contents by a parent breakpoint. Requires an ID for targeting collapsible container when sidebar content is collapsed.
.navbar-nav Required Responsive navigation container class that adds default styling for navbar navigation.
.nav-item Required Wrapper class for immediate parents of all navigation links. Responsible for correct styling of nav items
.navbar-nav-link Required Custom class for links within .navbar-navlist, it sets proper styling for links in light and dark navbars.
.navbar-text Required This class adjusts vertical alignment and horizontal spacing for strings of text
.navbar-component Optional Display navbar as a stand alone component, with border and rounded corners.
.fixed-top Optional Makes navbar sticked to the topof the page. Requires proper class for <body>container, see the table below.
.fixed-bottom Optional Makes navbar sticked to the bottomof the page. Requires proper class for <body>container, see the table below.
.sticky-top Optional Adds position: sticky;to the navbar - it's treated as relatively positioned until its containing block crosses a specified threshold, at which point it is treated as fixed. Support is limited.
Body classes
If you want to place navbar in non-static positions, you can choose from fixed to the top, fixed to the bottom, or stickied to the top (scrolls with the page until it reaches the top, then stays there). Fixed navbars use position: fixed, meaning they’re pulled from the normal flow of the DOM and require custom classes added to the <body>container to prevent overlap with other elements. The following table demonstrates the list of classes for <body>container if navbar has non-static position:
Class Description
.navbar-top This class adds toppadding to the <body>container. Works only with default navbar height. If another height is specified, apply another class (see the line below).
.navbar-bottom This class adds bottompadding to the <body>container. Works only with default navbar height. If another height is specified, apply another class (see the line below).
.navbar-top-[size] Controls topspacing of <body>container, if navbar has optional height. Available sizes: small (*-sm) and large (*-lg). Default navbar requires .navbar-topclass only.
.navbar-bottom-[size] Controls bottomspacing of <body>container, if navbar has optional height. Available sizes: small (*-sm) and large (*-lg). Default navbar requires .navbar-bottomclass only.
.navbar-top-[size]-[size] Use these classes if the layout has multiple topnavbars, where first [size]is the size of the first navbar, second [size]- height of the second navbar. In this particular use case, [size]can be: lgif large height, mdis default height smis small height.
.navbar-bottom-[size]-[size] Use these classes if the layout has multiple bottomnavbars, where first [size]is the size of the first navbar, second [size]- height of the second navbar. In this particular use case, [size]can be: lgif large height, mdis default height smis small height.
