Besides navigation, navbar component supports custom content such as: dropdown menus with custom content, full width dropdowns, language selects, forms, tabs, multi level menus, date pickers etc. Everything is adapted to use in different navbar color schemes and sizes. Examples below demonstrate some of these components, other examples related to mega menu
can be found on this page.

Basic navigation
Navigation list is a basic and main navbar component available in left and right positions. Navbar navigation is adapted to use in all navbar sizes and colors. To align navigation or any other navbar component, use .navbar-left
or .navbar-right
utility classes. These classes are mixin-ed versions of .pull-left
and .pull-right
, but they're scoped to media queries for easier handling of navbar components across device sizes.
Navigation icons
Navbar navigation supports icons: text with left and right positioned icons, multiple icons within 1 item, icons only and carets for items with dropdown menu. By default, sidebar control buttons are placed in the left navigation. To add icons, place <i>
element with icon class to the navigation link element. To use with text, depending on the position place icon before or after item text.
Labels and badges
Flexibility of the navbar navigation also allows you to use 2 kinds of labels and badges - inline
and absolute
positioned. Both types can have left and right positions. To use inline label/badge, add .label-inline (.badge-*)
class to the element, default placement is absolute top. To use left positioned elements, place it before text in inline version and add .*-left
to the absolute positioned element.
Navbar buttons
Add the .navbar-btn
class to <button>
elements not residing in a <form>
to vertically center them in the navbar. Button groups and button dropdowns in different colors and styles are supported as well. All button sizes are allowed, except .btn-lg, xlg, xxlg
classes, large buttons look too big in mini navbar size.
Navbar text
Wrap strings of text in an element with .navbar-text
, usually on a <p>
tag for proper leading and color. For folks using standard links that are not within the regular navbar navigation component, use the .navbar-link
class to add the proper colors for the default and inverse navbar options.
Progress bars
Provide up-to-date feedback on the progress of a workflow or action with simple yet flexible progress bars. Progress bars inside navbar support all sizes, except .large
and all possible stylings: colors, animations, labels, appearance etc. Also you can add text and icon labels to display current action, available in both left and right positions.
Place form content within .navbar-form
for proper vertical alignment and collapsed behavior in narrow viewports. Use the alignment options to decide where it resides within the navbar content. As a heads up, .navbar-form
shares much of its code with .form-inline
via mixin. Some form controls, like input groups, may require fixed widths to be show up properly within a navbar.
