Bootstrap navbar

Report · Jun 26, 2022

Nancy O'Shea: bootstrap guru, I am working on another project that requires both a responsive vertical and horizontal navbar, simultaneously. Is this possible? The only bootsrap component I can see is a horizontal navbar.

If anyone else knows, I would be glad to hear.

In Bootstrap 5, you have a thing called an off canvas component:

https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/components/offcanvas/

However I assume you want the vertical navbar to be visible at all times? In which case its just a matter of inserting some links into a bootstrap column.........however I have no idea what you're going to do with the vertical navbar on mobile devices, that's where the off-canvas component comes in handy.

Thanks, I will have a look. I wouldn't know how to handle a verticle navbar in mobile view. I will figure soemthing out.

Bootstrap is a mobile-first framework. By default, all navigation is vertically stacked on small devices.

For a secondary navigation, use Bootstrap Pills with the .nav-stacked class.

<div class="container">
  <h3>Vertical Pills</h3>
  <p>Use the .nav-stacked class to vertically stack pills:</p>
  <ul class="nav nav-pills nav-stacked">
    <li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Menu 1</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Menu 2</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Menu 3</a></li>
  </ul>
</div>

You can use a regular navigation bar and add the flex-column class to the navigation items container as in <div class="navbar-nav flex-column">

The following code shows both navigations, horizontal and vertical.
