Base nav

Navigation available in CoreUI for React share general markup and styles, from the base .nav class to the active and disabled states. Swap modifier classes to switch between each style.

The base <CNav> 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.

import React from 'react'
import { CNav, CNavItem, CNavLink } from '@coreui/react'

export const NavExample = () => {
  return (
    <CNav>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" active>
          Active
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" disabled>
          Disabled
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
    </CNav>
  )
}

import React from 'react'
import { CNav, CNavItem, CNavLink } from '@coreui/react'

export const NavExample = () => {
  return (
    <CNav>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" active>
          Active
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" disabled>
          Disabled
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
    </CNav>
  )
}

Classes are used throughout, so your markup can be super flexible. Use <ul>s like above, <ol> if the order of your items is important, or roll your own with a <nav> element. Because the .nav uses display: flex, the nav links behave the same as nav items would, but without the extra markup.

import React from 'react'
import { CNav, CNavLink } from '@coreui/react'

export const Nav2Example = () => {
  return (
    <CNav as="nav">
      <CNavLink href="#" active>
        Active
      </CNavLink>
      <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      <CNavLink href="#" disabled>
        Disabled
      </CNavLink>
    </CNav>
  )
}

import React from 'react'
import { CNav, CNavLink } from '@coreui/react'

export const Nav2Example = () => {
  return (
    <CNav as="nav">
      <CNavLink href="#" active>
        Active
      </CNavLink>
      <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      <CNavLink href="#" disabled>
        Disabled
      </CNavLink>
    </CNav>
  )
}

Available styles

Change the style of <CNav>’s 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:

import React from 'react'
import { CNav, CNavItem, CNavLink } from '@coreui/react'

export const NavHorizontalAlignmentExample = () => {
  return (
    <CNav className="justify-content-center">
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" active>
          Active
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" disabled>
          Disabled
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
    </CNav>
  )
}

import React from 'react'
import { CNav, CNavItem, CNavLink } from '@coreui/react'

export const NavHorizontalAlignmentExample = () => {
  return (
    <CNav className="justify-content-center">
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" active>
          Active
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" disabled>
          Disabled
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
    </CNav>
  )
}

Right-aligned with .justify-content-end:

import React from 'react'
import { CNav, CNavItem, CNavLink } from '@coreui/react'

export const NavHorizontalAlignment2Example = () => {
  return (
    <CNav className="justify-content-end">
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" active>
          Active
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" disabled>
          Disabled
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
    </CNav>
  )
}

import React from 'react'
import { CNav, CNavItem, CNavLink } from '@coreui/react'

export const NavHorizontalAlignment2Example = () => {
  return (
    <CNav className="justify-content-end">
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" active>
          Active
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" disabled>
          Disabled
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
    </CNav>
  )
}

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 (e.g., .flex-sm-column).

import React from 'react'
import { CNav, CNavItem, CNavLink } from '@coreui/react'

export const NavVerticalExample = () => {
  return (
    <CNav className="flex-column">
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" active>
          Active
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" disabled>
          Disabled
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
    </CNav>
  )
}

import React from 'react'
import { CNav, CNavItem, CNavLink } from '@coreui/react'

export const NavVerticalExample = () => {
  return (
    <CNav className="flex-column">
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" active>
          Active
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" disabled>
          Disabled
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
    </CNav>
  )
}

Tabs

Takes the basic nav from above and adds the variant="tabs" class to generate a tabbed interface

import React from 'react'
import { CNav, CNavItem, CNavLink } from '@coreui/react'

export const NavTabsExample = () => {
  return (
    <CNav variant="tabs">
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" active>
          Active
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" disabled>
          Disabled
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
    </CNav>
  )
}

import React from 'react'
import { CNav, CNavItem, CNavLink } from '@coreui/react'

export const NavTabsExample = () => {
  return (
    <CNav variant="tabs">
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" active>
          Active
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" disabled>
          Disabled
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
    </CNav>
  )
}

Pills

Take that same code, but use variant="pills" instead:

import React from 'react'
import { CNav, CNavItem, CNavLink } from '@coreui/react'

export const NavPillsExample = () => {
  return (
    <CNav variant="pills">
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" active>
          Active
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" disabled>
          Disabled
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
    </CNav>
  )
}

import React from 'react'
import { CNav, CNavItem, CNavLink } from '@coreui/react'

export const NavPillsExample = () => {
  return (
    <CNav variant="pills">
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" active>
          Active
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" disabled>
          Disabled
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
    </CNav>
  )
}

Underline

Take that same code, but use variant="underline" instead:

import React from 'react'
import { CNav, CNavItem, CNavLink } from '@coreui/react'

export const NavUnderlineExample = () => {
  return (
    <CNav variant="underline">
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" active>
          Active
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" disabled>
          Disabled
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
    </CNav>
  )
}

import React from 'react'
import { CNav, CNavItem, CNavLink } from '@coreui/react'

export const NavUnderlineExample = () => {
  return (
    <CNav variant="underline">
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" active>
          Active
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" disabled>
          Disabled
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
    </CNav>
  )
}

Underline border

Take that same code, but use variant="underline-border" instead:

import React from 'react'
import { CNav, CNavItem, CNavLink } from '@coreui/react'

export const NavUnderlineBorderExample = () => {
  return (
    <CNav variant="underline-border">
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" active>
          Active
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" disabled>
          Disabled
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
    </CNav>
  )
}

import React from 'react'
import { CNav, CNavItem, CNavLink } from '@coreui/react'

export const NavUnderlineBorderExample = () => {
  return (
    <CNav variant="underline-border">
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" active>
          Active
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" disabled>
          Disabled
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
    </CNav>
  )
}

Enclosed

Use the variant="enclosed" class to give your navigation items a subtle border and rounded styling.

import React from 'react'
import { CNav, CNavItem, CNavLink } from '@coreui/react'

export const NavEnclosedExample = () => {
  return (
    <CNav variant="enclosed">
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" active>
          Active
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" disabled>
          Disabled
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
    </CNav>
  )
}

import React from 'react'
import { CNav, CNavItem, CNavLink } from '@coreui/react'

export const NavEnclosedExample = () => {
  return (
    <CNav variant="enclosed">
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" active>
          Active
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" disabled>
          Disabled
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
    </CNav>
  )
}

Enclosed pills

Use the variant="enclosed-pills" to achieve a pill-style appearance for each nav item, using pill-shaped borders and smoother outlines.

import React from 'react'
import { CNav, CNavItem, CNavLink } from '@coreui/react'

export const NavEnclosedPillsExample = () => {
  return (
    <CNav variant="enclosed-pills">
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" active>
          Active
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" disabled>
          Disabled
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
    </CNav>
  )
}

import React from 'react'
import { CNav, CNavItem, CNavLink } from '@coreui/react'

export const NavEnclosedPillsExample = () => {
  return (
    <CNav variant="enclosed-pills">
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" active>
          Active
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" disabled>
          Disabled
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
    </CNav>
  )
}

Fill and justify

Force your <CNav>’s contents to extend the full available width one of two modifier classes. To proportionately fill all available space with your .nav-items, use layout="fill". Notice that all horizontal space is occupied, but not every nav item has the same width.

import React from 'react'
import { CNav, CNavItem, CNavLink } from '@coreui/react'

export const NavFillAndJustifyExample = () => {
  return (
    <CNav variant="pills" layout="fill">
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" active>
          Active
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" disabled>
          Disabled
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
    </CNav>
  )
}

import React from 'react'
import { CNav, CNavItem, CNavLink } from '@coreui/react'

export const NavFillAndJustifyExample = () => {
  return (
    <CNav variant="pills" layout="fill">
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" active>
          Active
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" disabled>
          Disabled
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
    </CNav>
  )
}

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

import React from 'react'
import { CNav, CNavItem, CNavLink } from '@coreui/react'

export const NavFillAndJustify2Example = () => {
  return (
    <CNav variant="pills" layout="justified">
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" active>
          Active
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" disabled>
          Disabled
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
    </CNav>
  )
}

import React from 'react'
import { CNav, CNavItem, CNavLink } from '@coreui/react'

export const NavFillAndJustify2Example = () => {
  return (
    <CNav variant="pills" layout="justified">
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" active>
          Active
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
      <CNavItem>
        <CNavLink href="#" disabled>
          Disabled
        </CNavLink>
      </CNavItem>
    </CNav>
  )
}

Working with flex utilities

If you need responsive nav variations, consider using a series of flexbox utilities. 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.

import React from 'react'
import { CNav, CNavLink } from '@coreui/react'

export const NavWorkingWithFlexUtilitiesExample = () => {
  return (
    <CNav as="nav" variant="pills" className="flex-column flex-sm-row">
      <CNavLink href="#" active>
        Active
      </CNavLink>
      <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>
      <CNavLink href="#" disabled>
        Disabled
      </CNavLink>
    </CNav>
  )
}

import React from 'react'
import { CNav, CNavLink } from '@coreui/react'

export const NavWorkingWithFlexUtilitiesExample = () => {
  return (
    <CNav as="nav" variant="pills" className="flex-column flex-sm-row">
      <CNavLink href="#" active>
        Active
      </CNavLink>
      <CNavLink href="#">Link</CNavLink>

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 <ul>, or wrap a <nav> element around the whole navigation. Do not add the role to the <ul> 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.

Using dropdowns

Add dropdown menus with a little extra HTML.

Tab panes

Dynamic tabbed interfaces, as described in the WAI ARIA Authoring Practices, require role="tablist", role="tab", role="tabpanel", and additional aria- attributes in order to convey their structure, functionality and current state to users of assistive technologies (such as screen readers).

Note that dynamic tabbed interfaces should not contain dropdown menus, as this causes both usability and accessibility issues. From a usability perspective, the fact that the currently displayed tab’s trigger element is not immediately visible (as it’s inside the closed dropdown menu) can cause confusion. From an accessibility point of view, there is currently no sensible way to map this sort of construct to a standard WAI ARIA pattern, meaning that it cannot be easily made understandable to users of assistive technologies.
