Svelte Navbar - Flowbite

The navbar component can be used to show a list of navigation links positioned on the top side of your page based on multiple layouts, sizes, and dropdowns

Get started with the responsive navbar component from Flowbite to quickly set up a navigation menu for your website and set up the logo, list of pages, CTA button, search input, user profile options with a dropdown, and more.

Setup #

  • Svelte
<script>
  import { Navbar, NavBrand, NavLi, NavUl, NavHamburger } from 'flowbite-svelte';
</script>

Default navbar #

Use this example of a navigation bar built with the utility classes from Tailwind CSS to enable users to navigate across the pages of your website.

By default navbar content width is controled by Tailwind class container. If you want your navbar to be full page width set the prop fluid=true.

  • Svelte
<Navbar  >
  <NavBrand href="/">
    <img src="/images/flowbite-svelte-icon-logo.svg" class="me-3 h-6 sm:h-9" alt="Flowbite Logo" />
    <span class="self-center whitespace-nowrap text-xl font-semibold dark:text-white">Flowbite</span>
  </NavBrand>
  <NavHamburger  />
  <NavUl >
    <NavLi href="/">Home</NavLi>
    <NavLi href="/about">About</NavLi>
    <NavLi href="/docs/components/navbar">Navbar</NavLi>
    <NavLi href="/pricing">Pricing</NavLi>
    <NavLi href="/contact">Contact</NavLi>
  </NavUl>
</Navbar>

Navbar container #

If you need more control on navbar content use underlying NavContainer component and style it with class property.

  • Svelte
<Navbar let:NavContainer color="primary">
  <NavContainer class="border px-5 py-2 rounded-lg bg-white dark:bg-gray-600">
    <NavBrand href="/">
      <img src="/images/flowbite-svelte-icon-logo.svg" class="me-3 h-6 sm:h-9" alt="Flowbite Logo" />
      <span class="self-center whitespace-nowrap text-xl font-semibold">Flowbite</span>
    </NavBrand>
    <NavHamburger />
    <NavUl>
      <NavLi href="/">Home</NavLi>
      <NavLi href="/about">About</NavLi>
      <NavLi href="/docs/components/navbar">Navbar</NavLi>
      <NavLi href="/pricing">Pricing</NavLi>
      <NavLi href="/contact">Contact</NavLi>
    </NavUl>
  </NavContainer>
</Navbar>

Active class #

Utilize the href prop within the NavLi component to incorporate a hyperlink. To initiate the application of the active class, include the activeUrl prop within the NavUl component:

  • Svelte
<script>
  import { page } from '$app/stores';
  import { Navbar, NavBrand, NavLi, NavUl, NavHamburger } from 'flowbite-svelte';
  $: activeUrl = $page.url.pathname;
</script>

<Navbar>
  <NavBrand href="/">
    <img src="/images/flowbite-svelte-icon-logo.svg" class="me-3 h-6 sm:h-9" alt="Flowbite Logo" />
    <span class="self-center whitespace-nowrap text-xl font-semibold dark:text-white">Flowbite</span>
  </NavBrand>
  <NavHamburger />
  <NavUl {activeUrl}>
    <NavLi href="/">Home</NavLi>
    <NavLi href="/docs/components/navbar">Navbar</NavLi>
    <NavLi href="/docs/components/accordion">Accordion</NavLi>
    <NavLi href="/docs/components/alert">Alert</NavLi>
    <NavLi href="/docs/components/avatar">Avatar</NavLi>
  </NavUl>
</Navbar>

Control the active and nonactive class by using activeClass and nonActiveClass:

  • Svelte
<script>
  import { page } from '$app/stores';
  import { Navbar, NavBrand, NavLi, NavUl, NavHamburger } from 'flowbite-svelte';
  $: activeUrl = $page.url.pathname;
  let activeClass = 'text-white bg-green-700 md:bg-transparent md:text-green-700 md:dark:text-white dark:bg-green-600 md:dark:bg-transparent';
  let nonActiveClass = 'text-gray-700 hover:bg-gray-100 md:hover:bg-transparent md:border-0 md:hover:text-green-700 dark:text-gray-400 md:dark:hover:text-white dark:hover:bg-gray-700 dark:hover:text-white md:dark:hover:bg-transparent';
</script>

<Navbar>
  <NavBrand href="/">
    <img src="/images/flowbite-svelte-icon-logo.svg" class="me-3 h-6 sm:h-9" alt="Flowbite Logo" />
    <span class="self-center whitespace-nowrap text-xl font-semibold dark:text-white">Flowbite</span>
  </NavBrand>
  <NavHamburger />
  <NavUl {activeUrl} {activeClass} {nonActiveClass}>
    <NavLi href="/">Home</NavLi>
    <NavLi href="/docs/components/navbar">Navbar</NavLi>
    <NavLi href="/docs/components/accordion">Accordion</NavLi>
    <NavLi href="/docs/components/alert">Alert</NavLi>
    <NavLi href="/docs/components/avatar">Avatar</NavLi>
  </NavUl>
</Navbar>
