Navs & Tabs
Navs are the building block for in-page menus: simple link rows, tabs, pills and underlined links that can be aligned, stretched or stacked. With the tab data API they also switch content panes, so the same markup works for settings screens, product details and dashboards.
1Base nav
A plain <code>ul.nav</code> list of links: active, normal and disabled states.
<ul class="nav ">
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link active" aria-current="page" href="#">Active</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Overview</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Updates</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link disabled" aria-disabled="true" href="#">Disabled</a></li>
</ul>2Nav element
The same component written as a <code>nav</code> element with links only - no list markup needed.
<nav class="nav ">
<a class="nav-link active" aria-current="page" href="#">Home</a><a class="nav-link" href="#">City</a><a class="nav-link" href="#">Culture</a><a class="nav-link disabled" aria-disabled="true" href="#">Archive</a>
</nav>3Centered
<code>.justify-content-center</code> centers the links.
<ul class="nav justify-content-center">
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link active" aria-current="page" href="#">Latest</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Trending</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Following</a></li>
</ul>4Right aligned
<code>.justify-content-end</code> moves the links to the right.
<ul class="nav justify-content-end">
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link active" aria-current="page" href="#">Account</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Billing</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Security</a></li>
</ul>5Vertical
<code>.flex-column</code> stacks the links - for sidebars and settings menus.
<div style="max-width:240px">
<nav class="nav flex-column">
<a class="nav-link active" aria-current="page" href="#">Profile</a><a class="nav-link" href="#">Notifications</a><a class="nav-link" href="#">Connected apps</a><a class="nav-link disabled" aria-disabled="true" href="#">Danger zone</a>
</nav>
</div>6Tabs
<code>.nav-tabs</code> draws classic folder tabs.
<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link active" aria-current="page" href="#">Summary</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Activity</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Members</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link disabled" aria-disabled="true" href="#">Locked</a></li>
</ul>7Pills
<code>.nav-pills</code> uses filled rounded buttons for the active link.
<ul class="nav nav-pills">
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link active" aria-current="page" href="#">All</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Open</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Closed</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link disabled" aria-disabled="true" href="#">Spam</a></li>
</ul>8Underline
<code>.nav-underline</code> marks the active link with a thick bottom border.
<ul class="nav nav-underline">
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link active" aria-current="page" href="#">For you</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Popular</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Newest</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link disabled" aria-disabled="true" href="#">Hidden</a></li>
</ul>9Fill
<code>.nav-fill</code> stretches the items to use all available width, each as wide as its text.
<ul class="nav nav-pills nav-fill">
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link active" aria-current="page" href="#">Day</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Week</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Month and quarter</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link disabled" aria-disabled="true" href="#">Year</a></li>
</ul>10Justified
<code>.nav-justified</code> makes every item exactly the same width.
<ul class="nav nav-tabs nav-justified">
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link active" aria-current="page" href="#">Inbox</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Sent</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Drafts</a></li>
</ul>11Tabs with dropdown
A dropdown inside a tab bar for less used sections.
<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link active" aria-current="page" href="#">Board</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Timeline</a></li>
<li class="nav-item dropdown"><a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" data-ui-toggle="dropdown" href="#" role="button" aria-expanded="false">Views</a><ul class="dropdown-menu"><li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Calendar</a></li><li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Table</a></li><li><hr class="dropdown-divider"></li><li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Manage views</a></li></ul></li>
</ul>12Pills with dropdown
Pills plus a dropdown that lists more categories.
<ul class="nav nav-pills">
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link active" aria-current="page" href="#">City</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Culture</a></li>
<li class="nav-item dropdown"><a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" data-ui-toggle="dropdown" href="#" role="button" aria-expanded="false">More</a><ul class="dropdown-menu"><li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Mountain</a></li><li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Culture</a></li></ul></li>
