Navs

Bootstrap provides several navigation components. The base .nav component is flexible for building tabs, pills, and vertical lists. For full tab-panel behaviour, see the Tabs page.

Tabs

Use .nav.nav-tabs for a tab-style navigation. Rence Material applies the teal underline automatically.

HTML

<!-- Basic navigation (tabs style) -->
<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
  <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="#">Link</a>
  </li>
  <li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
  </li>
  <li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link disabled">Disabled</a>
  </li>
</ul>

Pills

Use .nav-pills for a pill-style navigation. Active pills have the primary background colour applied.

HTML

<!-- Pill navigation -->
<ul class="nav nav-pills">
  <li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>
  </li>
  <li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
  </li>
  <li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
  </li>
</ul>

Vertical

Stack navigation vertically with .flex-column. Great for sidebar navigation.

HTML

<!-- Vertical navigation -->
<ul class="nav flex-column nav-pills">
  <li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>
  </li>
  <li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
  </li>
  <li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
  </li>
</ul>
