Vue Bootstrap Navbar

Vue Navbar - Bootstrap 4 & Material Design

Note: This documentation is for an older version of Bootstrap (v.4). A newer version is available for Bootstrap 5. We recommend migrating to the latest version of our product - Material Design for Bootstrap 5.
Go to docs v.5

Vue Bootstrap navbar is a horizontal navigation component which apart from traditional, text links, might embed icons, dropdowns, avatars or search forms.

MDB provides you with stylish Navbars, with distinctive for Material Design details (such as shadows, living colors or charming wave effects triggered by clicking on the link). Apart from traditional, text links, Bootstraps Navbar might embed regular & social icons, dropdowns, avatars or search forms.

How it works

Here’s what you need to know before getting started with the navbar:

  • Navbars don't require adding .navbar-expand{-sm|-md|-lg|-xl} classes for responsive collapsing. The .navbar-expand-lg class is added by defoult but you can easily change it by using expand prop. You can also use color scheme prop or classes.

  • Navbars and their contents are fluid by default. Use optional <mdb-container> to limit their horizontal width.

  • Navbars and their contents are built with flexbox, providing easy alignment options via utility classes and props.

  • Navbars are responsive by default and you can easily modify them to change that.

  • <mdb-navbar> component by default is using nav element, but you can easily change it to more generic element such as a <div>, just add a tag="div" prop to every navbar

Read on for an example and list of supported sub-components.

Basic example

Here’s an example of all the sub-components included in a responsive dark-themed navbar that automatically collapses at the lg (large) breakpoint.


        <template>
          <mdb-navbar color="indigo" dark>
            <mdb-navbar-brand href="https://mdbootstrap.com/">
              Navbar
            </mdb-navbar-brand>
            <mdb-navbar-toggler>
              <mdb-navbar-nav>
                <mdb-nav-item href="#" active>Home</mdb-nav-item>
                <mdb-nav-item href="#">Features</mdb-nav-item>
                <mdb-nav-item href="#">Pricing</mdb-nav-item>
                <mdb-dropdown tag="li" class="nav-item">
                  <mdb-dropdown-toggle tag="a" navLink color="indigo" slot="toggle" waves-fixed>Dropdown</mdb-dropdown-toggle>
                  <mdb-dropdown-menu>
                    <mdb-dropdown-item>Action</mdb-dropdown-item>
                    <mdb-dropdown-item>Another action</mdb-dropdown-item>
                    <mdb-dropdown-item>Something else here</mdb-dropdown-item>
                  </mdb-dropdown-menu>
                </mdb-dropdown>
              </mdb-navbar-nav>
              <form>
                <mdb-input type="text" class="text-white" placeholder="Search" aria-label="Search" label navInput waves waves-fixed/>
              </form>
            </mdb-navbar-toggler>
          </mdb-navbar>
        </template>
      

        <script>
          import { mdbNavbar, mdbNavbarBrand, mdbNavbarToggler, mdbNavbarNav, mdbNavItem, mdbDropdown, mdbDropdownMenu, mdbDropdownToggle, mdbInput, mdbDropdownItem } from 'mdbvue';
          export default {
            name: 'NavbarPage',
            components: {
              mdbNavbar,
              mdbNavbarBrand,
              mdbNavbarToggler,
              mdbNavbarNav,
              mdbNavItem,
              mdbDropdown,
              mdbDropdownMenu,
              mdbDropdownToggle,
              mdbDropdownItem,
              mdbInput
            }
          }
        </script>

Color schemes

Theming the navbar has never been easier thanks to the combination of a color prop for Bootstrap utility classes and simple color classes. Put another way, you specify light or dark and apply a background color.

You can choose one of over 300 colors form our material palette.

          export default {
            name: 'NavbarPage',
            components: {
              mdbNavbar,
              mdbNavbarBrand,
              mdbNavbarToggler,
              mdbNavbarNav,
              mdbNavItem,
              mdbDropdown,
              mdbDropdownMenu,
              mdbDropdownToggle,
              mdbDropdownItem,
              mdbInput,
              mdbContainer
            }
          }
          </script>

If you want to use light background you should apply .navbar-light class to the Navbar, to provide a proper contrast for links. For dark background use dark prop.

              </mdb-navbar-toggler>
            </mdb-navbar>
          </template>
        

          <script>
            import { mdbDropdown, mdbDropdownToggle, mdbDropdownMenu, mdbDropdownItem, mdbContainer, mdbNavbar, mdbNavbarBrand, mdbNavbarToggler, mdbNavbarNav, mdbNavItem } from 'mdbvue';
            export default {
              name: 'HelloWorld',
              components: {
                mdbNavbar,
                mdbNavbarBrand,
                mdbNavbarToggler,
                mdbNavbarNav,
                mdbNavItem,
                mdbContainer,
                mdbDropdown,
                mdbDropdownToggle,
                mdbDropdownMenu,
                mdbDropdownItem
              }
            }
          </script>

By default nav-items are aligned to the left - align nav-items to the right by adding the right property to the mdb-navbar-nav component.


          <template>
            <mdb-navbar expand="large" dark color="indigo">
              <mdb-navbar-brand href="#">

              </mdb-navbar-toggler>
            </mdb-navbar>
          </template>
        

          <script>
            import { mdbDropdown, mdbDropdownToggle, mdbDropdownMenu, mdbDropdownItem, mdbContainer, mdbNavbar, mdbNavbarBrand, mdbNavbarToggler, mdbNavbarNav, mdbNavItem } from 'mdbvue';
            export default {

              components: {
                mdbNavbar,
                mdbNavbarBrand,
                mdbNavbarToggler,
                mdbNavbarNav,
                mdbNavItem,
                mdbContainer,
                mdbDropdown,
                mdbDropdownToggle,
                mdbDropdownMenu,
                mdbDropdownItem
              }
            }
          </script>

Supported content

Navbars come with built-in support for a handful of sub-components. Choose from the following as needed:

  • <mdb-navbar-brand> for your company, product, or project name.

  • <mdb-navbar-nav> for a full-height and lightweight navigation (including support for dropdowns).

  • for any form controls and actions.

  • <mdb-navbar-toggler> for grouping and hiding navbar contents by a parent breakpoint.

  • .navbar-text for adding vertically centered strings of text.

Brand

The <mdb-navbar-brand> component let you present your company, product, or project name. It can be used with href and tag props.


        <template>
          <mdb-navbar color="indigo" dark>
            <mdb-navbar-brand href="https://mdbootstrap.com/">
              Link
            </mdb-navbar-brand>
          </mdb-navbar>
        </template>
      

        <script>
          import { mdbNavbar, mdbNavbarBrand } from 'mdbvue';
          export default {
            name: 'NavbarPage',
            components: {
              mdbNavbar,
              mdbNavbarBrand
            }
          }
        </script>

Images

Adding images to the <mdb-navbar-brand> will likely always require custom styles or utilities to properly size. Here is example to demonstrate. 


        <template>
          <mdb-navbar color="indigo">
            <mdb-navbar-brand href="https://mdbootstrap.com/">
              <img src="https://mdbootstrap.com/img/logo/mdb-transparent.webp" height="30" alt="">
            </mdb-navbar-brand>
          </mdb-navbar>
        </template>
      

        <script>
          import { mdbNavbar, mdbNavbarBrand } from 'mdbvue';
          export default {
            name: 'NavbarPage',
            components: {
              mdbNavbar,
              mdbNavbarBrand
            }
          }

Navbar navigation links build on our <mdb-navbar> component require the use of <mdb-navbar-toggler> component for proper responsive styling. Navigation in navbars will also grow to occupy as much horizontal space as possible to keep your navbar contents securely aligned.

Active states—with the active boolean prop indicate the current page can be applied directly to <mdb-nav-item> components.


        <template>
          <mdb-navbar color="indigo" dark>
            <mdb-navbar-brand href="#">
              Navbar
            </mdb-navbar-brand>
            <mdb-navbar-toggler>
              <mdb-navbar-nav>
                <mdb-nav-item href="#" class="active">Home</mdb-nav-item>
                <mdb-nav-item href="#">Features</mdb-nav-item>
                <mdb-nav-item href="#">Pricing</mdb-nav-item>
                <mdb-nav-item class="disabled" href="#">Disabled</mdb-nav-item>
              </mdb-navbar-nav>
            </mdb-navbar-toggler>
          </mdb-navbar>
        </template>
      

        <script>
          import { mdbNavbar, mdbNavbarBrand, mdbNavbarToggler, mdbNavbarNav, mdbNavItem } from 'mdbvue';
          export default {
            name: 'NavbarPage',
            components: {
              mdbNavbar,
              mdbNavbarBrand,
              mdbNavbarToggler,
              mdbNavbarNav,
              mdbNavItem
            }
          }
        </script>

You may also utilize dropdowns in your navbar. To do so, simply include the <mdb-dropdown> component, as shown below.


        <template>
          <mdb-navbar color="indigo" dark>
            <mdb-navbar-brand href="#">
              Navbar
            </mdb-navbar-brand>
            <mdb-navbar-toggler>
              <mdb-navbar-nav>
                <mdb-nav-item href="#" active> Home</mdb-nav-item>
                <mdb-nav-item href="#">Features</mdb-nav-item>
                <mdb-nav-item href="#">Pricing</mdb-nav-item>
                <mdb-dropdown tag="li" class="nav-item">
                  <mdb-dropdown-toggle tag="a" navLink color="indigo" slot="toggle"  waves-fixed>Dropdown link</mdb-dropdown-toggle>
                  <mdb-dropdown-menu>
                    <mdb-dropdown-item>Action</mdb-dropdown-item>
                    <mdb-dropdown-item>Another action</mdb-dropdown-item>
                    <mdb-dropdown-item>Something else here</mdb-dropdown-item>
                  </mdb-dropdown-menu>
                </mdb-dropdown>
              </mdb-navbar-nav>
            </mdb-navbar-toggler>
          </mdb-navbar>
        </template>
      

        <script>
          import { mdbNavbar, mdbNavbarBrand, mdbNavbarToggler, mdbNavbarNav, mdbNavItem, mdbDropdown, mdbDropdownToggle, mdbDropdownItem, mdbDropdownMenu } from 'mdbvue';
          export default {
            components: {
              mdbNavbar,
              mdbNavbarBrand,
              mdbNavbarToggler,
              mdbNavbarNav,
              mdbNavItem,
              mdbDropdown,
              mdbDropdown,
              mdbDropdownToggle,
              mdbDropdownItem,
              mdbDropdownMenu
            }
          }
        </script>

Forms

Place various form controls and components within a navbar with .form-inline class or <form-inline>component.


        <template>
          <mdb-navbar color="default" dark>
            <mdb-form-inline >
              <mdb-input type="text" class="text-white" placeholder="Search" aria-label="Search" label navInput waves waves-fixed/>
              <mdb-btn outline="white" size="sm" class="my-0" type="submit">Search</mdb-btn>
            </mdb-form-inline>
          </mdb-navbar>
        </template>
      

        <script>
          import { mdbNavbar, mdbBtn, mdbFormInline, mdbInput } from 'mdbvue';
          export default {
            components: {
              mdbNavbar,
              mdbBtn,
              mdbFormInline,
              mdbInput
            }
          }
        </script>

Heading

Align the contents of your inline forms with utilities as needed.


        <template>
          <mdb-navbar color="default" dark class="justify-content-between">
            <mdb-navbar-brand href="#">
              Navbar
            </mdb-navbar-brand>
            <mdb-form-inline>
                <mdb-input class="mr-sm-2" type="text" placeholder="Search" aria-label="Search" />
              <mdb-btn outline="white" size="sm" class="my-0" type="submit">Search</mdb-btn>
            </mdb-form-inline>
          </mdb-navbar>
        </template>
      

        <script>
          import { mdbNavbar, mdbNavbarBrand, mdbBtn, mdbFormInline, mdbInput } from 'mdbvue';
          export default {
            components: {
              mdbNavbar,
              mdbBtn,
              mdbNavbarBrand,
              mdbFormInline,
              mdbInput
            }
          }
        </script>

Input groups work, too:


        <template>
          <mdb-navbar color="default" dark>
            <mdb-form-inline>
              <mdb-input placeholder="Username" class="mt-0">
                <span class="input-group-text" slot="prepend">@</span>
              </mdb-input>
            </mdb-form-inline>
          </mdb-navbar>
        </template>
      

        <script>
          import { mdbNavbar, mdbFormInline, mdbInput } from 'mdbvue';
          export default {
            components: {
              mdbNavbar,
              mdbFormInline,
              mdbInput
            }
          }
        </script>

Various buttons are supported as part of these navbar forms, too. This is also a great reminder that vertical alignment utilities can be used to align different sized elements.


        <template>
          <mdb-navbar color="indigo">
            <mdb-form-inline>
              <mdb-btn outline="success" type="button">Search</mdb-btn>
              <mdb-btn outline="secondary" size="sm" type="button">Search</mdb-btn>
            </mdb-form-inline>
          </mdb-navbar>
        </template>
      

        <script>
          import { mdbNavbar, mdbBtn, mdbFormInline } from 'mdbvue';
          export default {
            components: {
              mdbNavbar,
              mdbBtn,
              mdbFormInline
            }
          }
        </script>

Text

Navbars may contain bits of text with the help of .navbar-text. This class adjusts vertical alignment and horizontal spacing for strings of text.


        <template>
          <mdb-navbar color="indigo">
            <span class="navbar-text white-text">
              Navbar text with an inline element
            </span>
          </mdb-navbar>
        </template>
      

        <script>
          import { mdbNavbar } from 'mdbvue';
          export default {
            name: 'NavbarPage',
            components: {
              mdbNavbar
            }
          }
        </script>

Mix and match with other components and utilities as needed.


        <template>
          <mdb-navbar color="indigo" class="white-text">
            <mdb-navbar-brand href="#">
              Navbar / text
            </mdb-navbar-brand>
            <mdb-navbar-toggler>
              <mdb-navbar-nav >
                <mdb-nav-item anchorClass="white-text" href="#" active>Home</mdb-nav-item>
                <mdb-nav-item anchorClass="white-text" href="#">Features</mdb-nav-item>
                <mdb-nav-item anchorClass="white-text" href="#">Pricing</mdb-nav-item>
              </mdb-navbar-nav>
              <span class="navbar-text">
                Navbar text with an inline element
              </span>
            </mdb-navbar-toggler>
          </mdb-navbar>
        </template>
      

        <script>
          import { mdbNavbar, mdbNavbarBrand, mdbNavbarToggler, mdbNavbarNav, mdbNavItem } from 'mdbvue';
          export default {
            components: {
              mdbNavbar,
              mdbNavbarBrand,
              mdbNavbarToggler,
              mdbNavbarNav,
              mdbNavItem
            }
          }
        </script>

Containers

Although it’s not required, you can wrap a navbar in a <mdb-container> to center it on a page or add one within to only center the contents of a fixed or static top navbar

              mdbContainer
            }
          }
        </script>

Placement

Use our position prop to place navbars in non-static positions. Choose from fixed to the top, fixed to the bottom, or stickied to the top. Note that position: sticky, used for .sticky-top, isn’t fully supported in every browser.

Responsive behaviors

Navbars can utilize expand prop to change when their content collapses behind a button. By adding small, medium, large you can easily choose when to show or hide particular elements.

Toggler

Navbar togglers are left-aligned by default, but should they follow a sibling element like a <mdb-navbar-brand>, they’ll automatically be aligned to the far right. Reversing your markup will reverse the placement of the toggler. Below are examples of different toggle styles.

With a brand name shown on the left and toggler on the right:


        <template>
          <mdb-navbar expand="large" dark color="indigo">
            <!-- Navbar brand -->
            <mdb-navbar-brand href="#">
              Navbar
            </mdb-navbar-brand>
            <mdb-navbar-toggler>
                <mdb-navbar-nav>
                    <mdb-nav-item href="#" active>Home</mdb-nav-item>
                    <mdb-nav-item href="#">Link</mdb-nav-item>
                    <mdb-nav-item class="disabled" href="#">Disabled</mdb-nav-item>
                </mdb-navbar-nav>
            </mdb-navbar-toggler>
          </mdb-navbar>
        </template>
      

        <script>
          import { mdbNavbar, mdbNavbarBrand, mdbNavbarToggler, mdbNavbarNav, mdbNavItem } from 'mdbvue';
          export default {
            name: 'NavbarPage',
            components: {
              mdbNavbar,
              mdbNavbarBrand,
              mdbNavbarToggler,
              mdbNavbarNav,
              mdbNavItem
            }
          }
        </script>
