How it works
Here’s what you need to know before getting started with the navbar:
- Navbars require a wrapping
.navbar
with.navbar-expand{-sm|-md|-lg|-xl|-xxl}
for responsive collapsing and color scheme classes. - Navbars and their contents are fluid by default. Change the container to limit their horizontal width in different ways.
- Use our spacing and flex utility classes for controlling spacing and alignment within navbars.
- Navbars are responsive by default, but you can easily modify them to change that. Responsive behavior depends on our Collapse JavaScript plugin.
- Ensure accessibility by using a
<nav>
element or, if using a more generic element such as a<div>
, add arole="navigation"
to every navbar to explicitly identify it as a landmark region for users of assistive technologies. - Indicate the current item by using
aria-current="page"
for the current page oraria-current="true"
for the current item in a set.
