Bootstrap: Four Steps To Create A Responsive Nav-Bar

Every website has a navigation which help direct users to the right place and find the right information.

As I am learning the code, I always want to create a navigation bar. I did tried to build nav-bar before, but I failed.

Today, the Udemy course instructor showed how to apply Bootstrap Nav-bar to create a responsive nav-bar.

Step One: Add the nav default element

We copy the <nav> with the default class attribute value on the HTML page.

On the top of the page shows a light gray area. The nav-bar content will be displayed in this area.

Step Two: Put the website name in the navbar-header

We apply the navbar-header div code in the HTML page and put the website name "My Blog" in the <a> tag.

As the result, the web page show your brand name or website name on the navi-bar.

Step Three: Create navigation list

Under the navbar-header, we give the <ul> a class attribute value "nav navbar-nav". Then, we create a short list include "Home", "About", and "Contact US". Each of them includes a hyperlink which will link to the relevant page.

The result:

Step Four: Add Collapsed Code and Hamburger Button

In order to make the nav-bar responsive, we need to add collapsed code and hamburger button code.

For example, if we want all the nav-bar list content collapse in mobile view, we need to insert the "collapse navbar-collapse" class value in the div tag between the navbar-header and the ul list code.

Then, we copy the hamburger button code from the Bootstrap default nav-bar code and insert it under the <div class="navbar-header">.

In addition, we also need to link the JS and Jquery codes to let the nav-bar take action. (The JS and Jquery code links are provided by instructor. )

The result shows a mobile view nav-bar. As I click on the right hamburger button, the list items show up.

We can type our code, style our page, or write some function to make interaction. However, backend is everything else. For example, we type Target web address in the Internet Browser. As we hit "enter", there are a few steps to go through: 1. The HTTP request is sent to a particular server's IP address. 2. The server figures out what to send us 3. It sends a HTTP response back to us Those process we are hard to see, and it happens in less than one second. The instructor said that the browser is not the only place to send the HTTP request, and there are so many choices out there. In this learning course, we are going to use Postman App .
