How do I align a navbar item to right?
I want to have the login and register to the right.
But everything I try does not seem to work.
This is what I have tried so far:
<div> around the <ul> with the atribute: style="float: right"
<div> around the <ul> with the atribute: style="text-align: right"
tried those two things on the <li> tags
tried all those things again with !important added to the end
changed nav-item to nav-right in the <li>
added a pull-sm-right class to the <li>
added a align-content-end class to the <li>
This is my code:
<div id="app" class="container">
<nav class="navbar navbar-toggleable-md navbar-light bg-faded">
<button class="navbar-toggler navbar-toggler-right" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarNavDropdown" aria-controls="navbarNavDropdown" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Navbar</a>
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item active">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Home <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Features</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Pricingg</a>
</li>
</ul>
<ul class="navbar-nav " >
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="{{ url('/login') }}">Login</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="{{ url('/register') }}">Register</a>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
#yield('content')
</div>
Bootstrap 5 (update 2021)
In Bootstrap 5 (see this question), ml-auto has been replaced with ms-auto to represent start instead of left. Since the Navbar is still based on flexbox, auto margins OR flexbox utility classes are still used to align Navbar content.
For example, use me-auto...
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-light bg-light">
<div class="container-fluid">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Brand</a>
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#navbarContent" aria-controls="navbarSupportedContent" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarContent">
<ul class="navbar-nav me-auto mb-2 mb-lg-0">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link active" href="#">Home</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
</li>
</ul>
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item dropdown">
<a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="#" id="navbarDropdown" role="button" data-bs-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false"> Menu </a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-end" aria-labelledby="navbarDropdown">
<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a></li>
<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
Bootstrap 5 right align Navbar content
Bootstrap 4 (original answer)
Bootstrap has many different ways to align navbar items. float-right won't work because the navbar is now flexbox.
You can use mr-auto for auto right margin on the 1st (left) navbar-nav.
Alternatively, ml-auto could be used on the 2nd (right) navbar-nav , or if you just have a single navbar-nav.
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-md navbar-light bg-light">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Navbar</a>
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarNav">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarNav">
<ul class="navbar-nav mr-auto">
<li class="nav-item active">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Home <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Features</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Pricing</a>
</li>
</ul>
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Login</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Register</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
https://codeply.com/go/P0G393rzfm
There are also flexbox utils. For example use justify-content-end on the collapse menu:
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-dark bg-dark">
<div class="container-fluid">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Brand</a>
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#navbarNav">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse justify-content-end" id="navbarNav">
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link active" aria-current="page" href="#">Contact</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Pricing</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Download</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
Or when you have 2 navbar-navs, use justify-content-between in navbar-collapse would work to even the space between the navbar-navs:
<div class="navbar-collapse collapse justify-content-between">
<ul class="navbar-nav mr-auto">
..
</ul>
<ul class="navbar-nav">
..
</ul>
</div>
Update for Bootstrap 4.0 and newer
As of Bootstrap 4 beta, ml-auto will still work to push items to the right. Just be aware the the navbar-toggleable- classes have changed to navbar-expand-*
Updated navbar right for Bootstrap 4
Another frequent Bootstrap 4 Navbar right alignment scenario includes a button on the right that remains outside the mobile collapse nav so that it is always shown at all widths.
Right align button that is always visible
Related: Bootstrap NavBar with left, center or right aligned items
In my case, I wanted just one set of navigation buttons / options and found that this will work:
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse justify-content-end" id="navbarCollapse">
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Sign Out</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
So, you will add justify-content-end to the div and omit mr-auto on the list.
Here is a working example.
For those who is still struggling with this issue in BS4 simply try below code -
<ul class="navbar-nav ml-auto">
On Bootstrap 4
If you want to align brand to your left and all the navbar-items to right, change the default mr-auto to ml-auto
<ul class="navbar-nav ml-auto">
On Bootsrap 4.0.0-beta.2, none of the answers listed here worked for me. Finally, the Bootstrap site gave me the solution, not via its doc but via its page source code...
Getbootstrap.com align their right navbar-nav to the right with the help of the following class: ml-md-auto.
Use this code to move items to the right.
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse justify-content-end">
Use ml-auto instead of mr-auto after applying nav justify-content-end to the ul
Just add mr-auto class at ul:
<ul class="nav navbar-nav mr-auto">
If you have menu list in both side you can do something like this:
<ul class="navbar-nav mr-auto">
<li class="nav-item active">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Home <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
</li>
</ul>
<ul class="navbar-nav ml-auto">
<li class="nav-item active">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">left 1</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">left 2</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">left disable</a>
</li>
</ul>
If you want Home, Features and Pricing on left immediately after your nav-brand, and then login and register on right then wrap the two lists in <div> and use .justify-content-between:
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse justify-content-between">
<ul>....</ul>
<ul>...</ul>
</div>
In bootstrap v4.3 just add ml-auto in <ul class="navbar-nav">
Ex:<ul class="navbar-nav ml-auto">
use the flex-row-reverse class
<nav class="navbar navbar-toggleable-md navbar-light">
<div class="container">
<button class="navbar-toggler navbar-toggler-right" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarNavAltMarkup" aria-controls="navbarNavAltMarkup" aria-expanded="false"
aria-label="Toggle navigation">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">
<i class="fa fa-hospital-o fa-2x" aria-hidden="true"></i>
</a>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse flex-row-reverse" id="navbarNavAltMarkup">
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li><a class="nav-item nav-link active" href="#" style="background-color:#666">Home <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a</li>
<li><a class="nav-item nav-link" href="#">Doctors</a></li>
<li><a class="nav-item nav-link" href="#">Specialists</a></li>
<li><a class="nav-item nav-link" href="#">About</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
It's little change in boostrap 4.
To align navbar to right side, you've to make only two changes.
they are:
in navbar-nav class add w-100 as navbar-nav w-100 to make width as 100
in nav-item dropdown class add ml-auto as nav-item dropdown ml-auto to make margin left as auto.
If you didn't understand, please refer the image that i've attached to this.

For bootstrap 4.3.1, I was using nav-pills and nothing worked for me except this:
<ul class="nav nav-pills justify-content-end ml-auto">
<li ....</li>
</ul>
In my case Bootstrap v5, I wanted just one set of navigation options to the right side:
just add "ms-auto" in ul.
And it helped me.
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarCollapse">
<ul class="navbar-nav ms-auto mb-2 mb-md-0">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link " aria-current="page" href="index.php">Home</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link " href="services.php" tabindex="-1" aria-disabled="true">Services</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="aboutus.php">About Us</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="Portfolio.php">Portfolio</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
The above answers surprisingly didn't work for me so here is my approach. To align the login and register navigation bar items to the right you can make use of either of these two ways:
pull-right:
Modify the unordered list tag for login and register as
<ul class="navbar-nav pull-right">
navbar-right:
Modify the unordered list tag for login and register as
<ul class="navbar-nav navbar-right">
I am running Angular 4 (v.4.0.0) and ng-bootstrap (Bootstrap 4). This code won't all be relevant but hoping people can pick and choose what works. It took me sometime to find a solution to get my items to justify right, collapse properly and to implement a dropdown off my google (using OAuth) profile picture.
<div id="header" class="header">
<nav class="navbar navbar-toggleable-sm navbar-inverse bg-faded fixed-top">
<button class="navbar-toggler navbar-toggler-right" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarSupportedContent"
aria-controls="navbarSupportedContent" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">
<img alt='Brand' src='../assets/images/logo-white.png' class='navbar-logo-img d-inline-block align-top '>
<span class="navbar-logo-text">Oncoscape</span>
</a>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse justify-content-end" id="navbarSupportedContent">
<ul class="navbar-nav float-left">
<a class="navbar-items nav-item nav-link active " *ngIf='authenticated' (click)='goDashboard()'>
<span class="fa fa-dashboard"></span>Dashboard
</a>
<a class="nav-item nav-link navbar-items active" href="http://resources.sttrcancer.org/oncoscape-contact">
<span class="fa fa-comments"></span>Feedback
</a>
<li class="nav-item dropdown">
<a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" id="navbarDropdownMenuLink" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
<img *ngIf='user && authenticated' class="navbar-pic" src={{user.thumbnail}} alt="Smiley face">
</a>
<div *ngIf='user && authenticated' class="dropdown-menu " aria-labelledby="navbarDropdownMenuLink">
<a class="dropdown-item" (click)="toProfile()">Account</a>

For Bootstrap 4 beta, sample navbar with elements aligned to the right side is:
<div id="app" class="container">
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-md navbar-light bg-faded">
<button class="navbar-toggler navbar-toggler-right" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarNavDropdown" aria-controls="navbarNavDropdown" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Navbar</a>
<ul class="navbar-nav mr-auto">
<li class="nav-item active">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Home <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Features</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Pricingg</a>
</li>
</ul>
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="{{ url('/login') }}">Login</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="{{ url('/register') }}">Register</a>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
Using the bootstrap flex box helps
us to control the placement and alignment of your navigation element.
for the problem above adding mr-auto is a better solution to it .
<div id="app" class="container">
<nav class="navbar navbar-toggleable-md navbar-light bg-faded">
<button class="navbar-toggler navbar-toggler-right" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarNavDropdown" aria-controls="navbarNavDropdown" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Navbar</a>
<ul class="navbar-nav mr-auto">
<li class="nav-item active">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Home <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Features</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Pricingg</a>
</li>
</ul>
<ul class="navbar-nav " >
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="{{ url('/login') }}">Login</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="{{ url('/register') }}">Register</a>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
#yield('content')
</div>
other placement may include
fixed- top
fixed bottom
sticky-top
The working example for BS v4.0.0-beta.2:
<body>
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-md navbar-dark bg-dark">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Navbar</a>
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarNavDropdown" aria-controls="navbarNavDropdown" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarNavDropdown">
<ul class="navbar-nav mr-auto">
<li class="nav-item active">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Home <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Features</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Pricingg</a>
</li>
</ul>
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Login</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Register</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
<div class="container-fluid">

</div>
<!-- Optional JavaScript -->

<script src="node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</body>
If all above fails, I added 100% width to the navbar class in CSS. Until then mr auto wasn't working for me on this project using 4.1.
but the nav item you want to align to right in alone
put it outside the of main nav but in the same , like that:
<ul class="navbar-nav justify-content-end ms-auto">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#" aria-expanded="false">Contact support</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item ">
<a class="nav-link" href="#" aria-expanded="false">Log in</a>
</li>
</ul>
use justify-content-end ms-auto
Find the 69 line in the verndor-prefixes.less and write it following:
.panel {
margin-bottom: 20px;
height: 100px;
background-color: #fff;
border: 1px solid transparent;
border-radius: 4px;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.05);
box-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.05);
}
Just copied this from one of the getbootstrap pages for the released version 4 which worked much better than the above
<div class="d-none d-xl-block col-xl-2 bd-toc float-md-right">
<ul class="section-nav">
<li class="toc-entry toc-h2">Overview</li>
<li class="toc-entry toc-h2">Classes</li>
<li class="toc-entry toc-h2">Mixins</li>
<li class="toc-entry toc-h2">Responsive</li>
</ul>
</div>
I'm new to stack overflow and new to front end development. This is what worked for me. So I did not want list items to be displayed.
.hidden {
display:none;
}
#loginButton{
margin-right:2px;
}
<nav class="navbar navbar-toggleable-md navbar-light bg-faded fixed-top">
<button class="navbar-toggler navbar-toggler-right" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarSupportedContent" aria-controls="navbarSupportedContent" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">

I'm using Bootstrap an it's collapsed Navbar on a one-page website together with a simple scrolling script, so if I click on a single link the page scrolls down to anchor - works great. However the Navbar does not collapse when I click on a link which covers a lot of content on mobile devices - you first have to click on the toggle which is annoying. I found out that it should help to add the data-toggle and data-target attributes to the links, but it doesn't work at all - where is my mistake?
NAVIGATION:
<nav class="navbar navbar-default mainbar" role="navigation">
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle hvr-bounce-to-bottom" data- toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse">
<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
</div>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse navbar-collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li><a data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse" href="#link1" class="navelement">Link 1</a></li>
<li><a data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse" href="#link2" class="navelement">Link 2</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
UPDATE:
It's a Javascript problem. My smooth-scroll script causes an issue:
var corp = $("html, body");
$(".navelement").click(function() {
var flag = $.attr(this, "href");
corp.animate({
scrollTop: $(schild).offset().top - 60
}, 1600, function() {
window.location.hash = flag;
});
return false;
});
It's a pretty simple script, but I have no clue what to do with it to make the navbar collapse.
Using the above example, what worked for me was to add data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse" to the outer div
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="my-navbar-collapse">
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="my-navbar-collapse" toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse">
The entire menu looks like this with the change:
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-xl navbar-light bg-light">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Main</a>
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarSupportedContent" aria-controls="navbarSupportedContent" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarSupportedContent" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse" >
<ul class="navbar-nav mr-auto">
<li class="nav-item active">
<a class="nav-link" routerLink="/home">Home <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item active">
<a class="nav-link" routerLink="/guitars">Guitars <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item dropdown">
<a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="#" id="navbarDropdown" role="button" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
Dropdown
</a>
<div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="navbarDropdown">
<a class="dropdown-item" routerLink="/nasa-image">NASA Image</a>
<a class="dropdown-item disabled" href="#">Another action</a>
<div class="dropdown-divider"></div>
<a class="dropdown-item disabled" href="#">Something else here</a>
</div>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
I know this is a bit late coming in however, even in Bootstrap 4.0.0-alpha.6; the navbar does NOT inherently close after a menu item selection. The docs at Bootsrap have gotten better - but there is NO clear-cut example on how to get the navbar to close after a new menu selection.
In your html file - you go to the target div for the collapse class - the div I'm sowing below came strait from the Bootstrap site - so nothing has changed on that note:
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarSupportedContent">
You use that id to monitor if the navbar is expanded (out of collapsed mode), then I added a click event to the a.nav-links in the navbar that re-collapses the navbar:
$("#navbarSupportedContent").on('show.bs.collapse', function() {
$('a.nav-link').click(function() {
$("#navbarSupportedContent").collapse('hide');
});
});
I would recommend following this a little bit closer to help you out.

Seems to be what you are basing it off of.
Mainly, when you look # that link, look at the first button line that you have and compare as that is your main drop down on the mobile version which takes up lots of screen real estate as you mentioned.
<nav class="navbar navbar-default mainbar" role="navigation">
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle hvr-bounce-to-bottom collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#my-navbar-collapse">
<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
</div>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="my-navbar-collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li><a data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse" href="#link1" class="navelement">Link 1</a></li>
<li><a data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse" href="#link2" class="navelement">Link 2</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
1) I changed this part data- toggle="collapse" to data-toggle="collapse". There was just an extra space on line 3.
2) I added an id to your drop down instead of a class to identify more particularly (may not matter) and also changed the name to "my-navbar-collapse" This change was made on lines 3 and 11. Also this previously means you were just using the same class twice on the same element which didn't make sense.
3) I added the class "collapsed" into your class on line 3 located after "hvr-bounce-to-bottom" Should allow it to be collapsed by default, and only show if it is opened by the user.
That should help fix it as it cleans it up. Also, do you have a drop down in your nav bar that needs to be brought back up when you toggle other than the main button you listed? Doesn't seem so as of yet, just asking to make sure it's clear.
This works for me:
$('.navbar-nav>li>a').on('click', function(){
$('.navbar-collapse').collapse('hide');
});
The only problem with the solution above and the JSFiddle (jsfiddle.net/camdixon/v2gosj5s) is that when you are not on a mobile device, and the menu is not collapsed, the menu items blink. E.g. they collapse in place and reopen in place.
To repeat: expand the window of the JSFiddle result so that the menu is not collapsed, then click on a navbar item.
I've sort of solved the issue in addition to the JSFiddle version by altering the collapse data api in bootstrap.js as follows:
//Bootstrap v3.3.4
//line 662:
Collapse.prototype.toggle = function () {
//Added code:
var mq = window.matchMedia('screen and (min-width: 768px)')
if (mq.matches) return
//End added code
this[this.$element.hasClass('in') ? 'hide' : 'show']()
}
I'd rather not hardcode the min-width, but don't yet know how I would access the media query values in the css (see #screen-sm-min in less).
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".navbar-nav li.trigger-collapse a").click(function(event) {
$(".navbar-collapse").collapse('hide');
});
});
This small jquery snippet works in this way:
If navbar is expanded, nothing happens, so no blink (normal bootstrap behavior).
If navbar is collapsed, after a click event, closes the navbar.
Works on bootstrap 4
$(".navbar a").click(function(event) {
// check if window is small enough so dropdown is created
var toggle = $(".navbar-toggler").is(":visible");
if (toggle) {
$(".navbar-collapse").collapse('hide');
}
});

You just need to add data-toggle and data-target in navbar code. Where class="collapse navbar-collapse navbar-collapse is used.
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse navbar-collapse" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbar-collapse">
Home (current)
Guitars (current)
Dropdown
NASA Image
Another action

Just use span tag and add data-bs-toggle="collapse"` data-bs-target=".navbar-collapse" to each links. Finally this worked in my project.
<NavLink exact="true" className="nav-link" to="/">`<span data-bs-toggle="collapse"` data-bs-target=".navbar-collapse">Home</span></NavLink>
Just use span tag and add data-bs-toggle="collapse"` data-bs-target=".navbar-collapse" and place that span tag in anchor tag. below is the code
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-light bg-light">
<div class="container">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="/">Navbar</a>
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#navbarSupportedContent" aria-controls="navbarSupportedContent" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarSupportedContent">
<ul class="navbar-nav me-auto">
<li class="nav-item active">
<a class="nav-link" href="/"><span data-bs-target="#navbarSupportedContent" data-bs-toggle="collapse">Home</span></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#About"><span data-bs-target="#navbarSupportedContent" data-bs-toggle="collapse">About</span></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#Contact"><span data-bs-target="#navbarSupportedContent" data-bs-toggle="collapse">Contact</span></a>

In my case, the tabs had weird behavior and didn't close due to my vue :class bindings
<router-link class="nav-link text-light" :class="{active: checker}" to="/ideas">
This variant works
<router-link class="nav-link text-light" to="/ideas">
I've made navbar using Bootstrap4 and when I open website as mobile screen links in menu doesn't work. Here is my code:
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-sm navbar-dark" style="background-color: #E2BA28">
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#nav-content" aria-controls="nav-content" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<!-- Brand -->
<a class="navbar-brand" href="https://www.example.com"><img src="logo" width="60" class="d-inline-block align-top" alt=""></a>
<!-- Links -->
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse justify-content-end" id="nav-content">
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link eak-link" href="https://www.example.com">example</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link eak-link" href="https://www.example.com">example</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link eak-link" href="#">example</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link eak-link" href="https://www.example.com">example</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link eak-link eak-abc" href="https://www.example.com">example</a>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
If it does help I'm using this js:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.nav-item').hover(function(){
$(this).toggleClass('animated bounceIn')
});
});
Thanks for help !
Apart from adding bootstrap's js code at the footer of your page, you'll need to also includejQuery.
