I have created a navbar with Bootstrap 4 alpha 6 that has a large brand/icon on the left, and 2 navbar-nav's with links to the right of the icon. One nav has links, and the other nav has icons. It's working exactly as I want except for one thing.
I'd like the 2 navbars to appear in 2 separate rows to the right of the icon. Like this:
------------------------------------------------------
link link link link
brand-icon -------------------------------------------
icon icon icon
------------------------------------------------------
The mobile version will still show the links vertically as it does now. I've tried several different things with flexbox, but can't get it to work.
Here is my code:
<nav class="navbar navbar-toggleable-md navbar-inverse bg-inverse">
<div class="container">
<button class="navbar-toggler navbar-toggler-right align-self-center mt-3" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarCollapse">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<h1 class="py-2 ml-lg-2 mx-3"><a href="#"><i class="fa fa-envelope-open-o fa-lg" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></h1>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse ml-lg-0 ml-3" id="navbarCollapse">
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item active">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Home</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Product</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Shop</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">About</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Events</a>
</li>
</ul>
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link pr-3" href="#"><i class="fa fa-facebook"></i></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link pr-3" href="#"><i class="fa fa-instagram"></i></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link pr-3" href="#"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i></a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
You can use the flex-column
flexbox utility class to stack the 2 navs vertically next to the icon. This sets flex-direction: column
on the navbar-collapse
div so that it's child elements stack vertically.
<nav class="navbar navbar-toggleable-md navbar-inverse bg-inverse">
<div class="container">
<button class="navbar-toggler navbar-toggler-right align-self-center mt-3" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarCollapse">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<h1 class="py-2 ml-lg-2 mx-3"><a href="#"><i class="fa fa-envelope-o fa-lg mt-2" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></h1>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse flex-column ml-lg-0 ml-3" id="navbarCollapse">
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item active">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Home</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Product</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Shop</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">About</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Events</a>
</li>
</ul>
<ul class="navbar-nav flex-row mb-2">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link py-1 pr-3" href="#"><i class="fa fa-facebook"></i></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link py-1 pr-3" href="#"><i class="fa fa-instagram"></i></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link py-1 pr-3" href="#"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i></a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
