Angular Nav Component

Documentation and examples of how to use CoreUI Angular navigation components.

Navigation available in CoreUI for Angular share general markup and styles, from the base `.nav` class to the active and disabled states. Swap modifier classes to switch between each style. ## Examples The base `c-nav` component is built with flexbox and provide a strong foundation for building all types of navigation components. It includes some style overrides (for working with lists), some link padding for larger hit areas, and basic disabled styling. ### Base nav

Classes are used throughout, so your markup can be super flexible. Use `c-nav-item` like above, or roll your own with a `c-nav` element. Because the `.nav` uses `display: flex`, the `cNavLink` behaves the same as `c-nav-item` would, but without the extra markup.

Change the style of `c-nav` component with modifiers and utilities. Mix and match as needed, or build your own. ### Horizontal alignment Change the horizontal alignment of your nav with flexbox utilities. By default, navs are left-aligned, but you can easily change them to center or right aligned. Centered with `.justify-content-center`:

Right-aligned with `.justify-content-end`:

### Vertical Stack your navigation by changing the flex item direction with the `.flex-column` utility. Need to stack them on some viewports but not others? Use the responsive versions (ex. `.flex-sm-column`).

### Tabs Take the basic nav from above and add the `variant="tabs"` class to generate a tabbed interface

### Pills Take that same HTML, but use `variant="pills"` instead:

### Underline PRO Take that same HTML, but use `variant`="underline":

### Fill and justify Force your `c-nav` contents to extend the full available width one of two modifier classes. To proportionately fill all available space with your `c-nav-item`, use `layout="fill"`. Notice that all horizontal space is occupied, but not every nav item has the same width.

For equal-width elements, `use layout="justified"`. All horizontal space will be occupied by nav links, but unlike the `fill` above, every nav item will be the same width.

### Working with flex utilities If you need responsive nav variations, consider using a series of [flexbox utilities](https://coreui.io/docs/utilities/flex). While more verbose, these utilities offer greater customization across responsive breakpoints. In the example below, our nav will be stacked on the lowest breakpoint, then adapt to a horizontal layout that fills the available width starting from the small breakpoint.

### Using dropdowns Add dropdown menus with a little extra HTML.

### Tabs with dropdowns

### Pills with dropdowns

--- ## Regarding accessibility If you're using navs to provide a navigation bar, be sure to add a `role="navigation"` to the most logical parent container of the `c-nav`, or wrap a `nav` element around the whole navigation. Do not add the role to the `c-nav` itself, as this would prevent it from being announced as an actual list by assistive technologies. Note that navigation bars, even if visually styled as tabs with the `.nav-tabs` class, should not be given `role="tablist"`, `role="tab"` or `role="tabpanel"` attributes. These are only appropriate for dynamic tabbed interfaces, as described in the WAI ARIA Authoring Practices. See JavaScript behavior for dynamic tabbed interfaces in this section for an example. The `aria-current` attribute is not necessary on dynamic tabbed interfaces since our JavaScript handles the selected state by adding `aria-selected="true"` on the active tab. --- ## API reference ### Nav Module ```typescript import { NavModule } from '@coreui/angular'; @NgModule({ imports: [NavModule,] }) export class AppModule() { } ``` ### c-nav _component_ ##### Inputs
