.content container. To make it
sticky, just add .sticky-top or .sticky-bottom class to the navbar
container.
Navbar component
Navbar is a navigation component, usually displayed on top of the page and
includes brand logo, navigation, notifications, user menu, language switcher and other
components. By default, navbar has top fixed position and is a direct child
of <body> container. Navbar toggler appears next to the brand logo on
small screens and can be easily adjusted with display utility classes. You
can also control responsive collapsing breakpoint directly in the markup. Navbar
component is responsive by default and requires .navbar and
.navbar-expand{-sm|-md|-lg|-xl|-xxl} classes. Main navigation bar also has
static position, but due to the nature of the general layout, it's moved outside all
scrolable containers so that it always appears to be sticked to the top.
Static navbars
By default, top and bottom navbars in content area have
static position and scroll away along with content. This use case
doesn't require any additional classes for .navbar and
<body> containers, this means navbar appearance depends on its
placement: in the template top static navbar is the first direct child of
.content-inner or .content containers.
Fixed navbars
Fixed navbars depend on location in containers. All navbars placed
inside .content-inner container scroll away with the content. Once they
are moved outside .content-inner container and placed before or after
it, navbar becomes "fixed". It will push the content section up or down and will be
always displayed within the viewport despite the scrolling position. None of these
options requires any additional class names either in containers or navbar itself.
Table below lists all available body and navbar classes.
Navbar markup
Navbar markup consists of a set of containers with mandatory and optional
classes: .navbar is a wrapper, this class is required for all types of
navbars; .navbar-[color] - sets main background color theme and adjusts
content color; .navbar-expand-[breakpoint] - responsible for collapsing
navbar content behind the button on small screens. See the table below for a full list
of classes.
