Bootstrap 5 Navs and tabs

Bootstrap 5 is the latest version of the popular web design framework. It includes features such as improved typography and components, an updated grid system, new utility classes and more. One of the main features of Bootstrap 5 is its improved Navs and Tabs. Navs and Tabs allow you to create navigational elements on a page and organize content. In this tutorial, we’ll go over the basics of Navs and Tabs in Bootstrap 5 and discuss the differences between them. We’ll also cover the different types of Navs and Tabs and provide some sample code.

Tutorial

First, let’s define what Navs and Tabs are in Bootstrap 5. Navs are used to create navigational elements on a page and organize content. They are generally created using <ul> and <li> elements and can be styled using various classes. Tabs, on the other hand, are used to organize content into sections and are laid out horizontally. Each tab is associated with a content area, which can be displayed when the tab is clicked.

Now let’s look at some of the different types of Navs and Tabs available in Bootstrap 5. There are three types of Navs: horizontal Navs, vertical Navs, and pills. Horizontal Navs are the most common type and are laid out in a row. Vertical Navs are laid out in a column and pills look like buttons. For Tabs, there are two types available: basic Tabs and card Tabs. Basic Tabs are laid out horizontally and have no additional style. Card Tabs have additional styling and are laid out in a card.

To create a Nav in Bootstrap 5, you will need to use the .nav class with an additional class to assign a type of Nav. For example, to create a horizontal Nav, you would use the .nav-tabs class. Then, you will need to create <ul> and <li> elements to display the Nav items. You can also add a class to each <li> element to indicate which tab is active. For example, the following code snippet creates a horizontal Nav with three tabs:

<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
  <li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link active" href="#">Tab 1</a>
  </li>
  <li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link" href="#">Tab 2</a>
  </li>
  <li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link" href="#">Tab 3</a>
  </li>
</ul>

To create a Tab in Bootstrap 5, you will need to use the .tab-pane class with an additional class to assign a type of Tab. For example, to create a basic Tab, you would use the .tab-basic class. Then, you will need to create a <div> element for each tab and use the appropriate ID to indicate which tab is active. For example, the following code snippet creates a basic Tab with three tabs:

<div class="tab-pane tab-basic active" id="tab1">
  Content for tab 1 
</div>
<div class="tab-pane tab-basic" id="tab2">
  Content for tab 2
</div>
<div class="tab-pane tab-basic" id="tab3">
  Content for tab 3
</div>

By combining Navs and Tabs, you can create powerful navigational components that organize content. With the help of Bootstrap 5, you can quickly and easily create robust Navs and Tabs for your website.
