Documentation and examples for how to use Bootstrap’s included navigation components.
Bootstrap Navs documentationUse .flex-column class.
<ul class="nav flex-column">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link active" href="#0">Active</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#0">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#0">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link disabled" href="#0">Disabled</a>
</li>
</ul>
Take that same HTML, but use .nav-pills instead:
<ul class="nav nav-pills">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link active" href="#0">Active</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#0">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#0">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link disabled" href="#0">Disabled</a>
</li>
</ul>
Take that same HTML, but use .nav-classic instead:
<ul class="nav nav-classic">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link active" href="#0">Active</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#0">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#0">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link disabled" href="#0">Disabled</a>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="bg-dark p-4">
<ul class="nav nav-white nav-pills">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link active" href="#0">Active</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#0">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#0">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link disabled" href="#0">Disabled</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<ul class="nav nav-box nav-pills">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link active" href="#0">Active</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#0">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#0">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link disabled" href="#0">Disabled</a>
</li>
</ul>
Use .nav-fill class.
<ul class="nav nav-pills nav-fill">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link active" href="#0">Active</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#0">Much longer nav link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#0">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link disabled" href="#0">Disabled</a>
</li>
</ul>
Takes the basic nav from above and adds the .nav-tabs class to generate a tabbed interface.

Enable tabbable tabs via JavaScript (each tab needs to be activated individually):
var triggerTabList = [].slice.call(document.querySelectorAll('#myTab a'))
triggerTabList.forEach(function (triggerEl) {
var tabTrigger = new bootstrap.Tab(triggerEl)
triggerEl.addEventListener('click', function (event) {
event.preventDefault()
tabTrigger.show()
})
})
You can activate individual tabs in several ways:
var triggerEl = document.querySelector('#myTab a[href="#profile"]')
bootstrap.Tab.getInstance(triggerEl).show() // Select tab by name
var triggerFirstTabEl = document.querySelector('#myTab li:first-child a')
bootstrap.Tab.getInstance(triggerFirstTabEl).show() // Select first tab
To make tabs fade in, add .fade to each .tab-pane. The first tab pane must also have .show to make the initial content visible.
<div class="tab-content">
<div class="tab-pane fade show active" id="home" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="home-tab">...</div>
<div class="tab-pane fade" id="profile" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="profile-tab">...</div>
<div class="tab-pane fade" id="messages" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="messages-tab">...</div>
<div class="tab-pane fade" id="settings" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="settings-tab">...</div>
</div>
All API methods are asynchronous and start a transition. They return to the caller as soon as the transition is started but before it ends. In addition, a method call on a transitioning component will be ignored.
Activates a tab element and content container. Tab should have either a data-bs-target or, if using a link, an href attribute, targeting a container node in the DOM.
<ul class="nav nav-tabs" id="myTab" role="tablist">
<li class="nav-item" role="presentation">
<button class="nav-link active" id="home-tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" data-bs-target="#home" type="button" role="tab" aria-controls="home" aria-selected="true">Home</button>
</li>
<li class="nav-item" role="presentation">
<button class="nav-link" id="profile-tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" data-bs-target="#profile" type="button" role="tab" aria-controls="profile" aria-selected="false">Profile</button>
</li>
<li class="nav-item" role="presentation">
<button class="nav-link" id="messages-tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" data-bs-target="#messages" type="button" role="tab" aria-controls="messages" aria-selected="false">Messages</button>
</li>
<li class="nav-item" role="presentation">
<button class="nav-link" id="settings-tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" data-bs-target="#settings" type="button" role="tab" aria-controls="settings" aria-selected="false">Settings</button>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="tab-content">
<div class="tab-pane active" id="home" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="home-tab">...</div>
<div class="tab-pane" id="profile" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="profile-tab">...</div>
<div class="tab-pane" id="messages" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="messages-tab">...</div>
<div class="tab-pane" id="settings" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="settings-tab">...</div>
</div>
<script>
var firstTabEl = document.querySelector('#myTab li:last-child a')
var firstTab = new bootstrap.Tab(firstTabEl)
firstTab.show()
</script>
Selects the given tab and shows its associated pane. Any other tab that was previously selected becomes unselected and its associated pane is hidden. Returns to the caller before the tab pane has actually been shown (i.e. before the shown.bs.tab event occurs).
var someTabTriggerEl = document.querySelector('#someTabTrigger')
var tab = new bootstrap.Tab(someTabTriggerEl)
tab.show()
Destroys an element’s tab.
Static method which allows you to get the tab instance associated with a DOM element
var triggerEl = document.querySelector('#trigger')
var tab = bootstrap.Tab.getInstance(triggerEl) // Returns a Bootstrap tab instance
When showing a new tab, the events fire in the following order:
hide.bs.tab (on the current active tab)show.bs.tab (on the to-be-shown tab)hidden.bs.tab (on the previous active tab, the same one as for the hide.bs.tab event)shown.bs.tab (on the newly-active just-shown tab, the same one as for the show.bs.tab event)If no tab was already active, then the hide.bs.tab and hidden.bs.tab events will not be fired.
| Event type | Description |
|---|---|
show.bs.tab |
This event fires on tab show, but before the new tab has been shown. Use event.target and event.relatedTarget to target the active tab and the previous active tab (if available) respectively. |
shown.bs.tab |
This event fires on tab show after a tab has been shown. Use event.target and event.relatedTarget to target the active tab and the previous active tab (if available) respectively. |
hide.bs.tab |
This event fires when a new tab is to be shown (and thus the previous active tab is to be hidden). Use event.target and event.relatedTarget to target the current active tab and the new soon-to-be-active tab, respectively. |
hidden.bs.tab |
This event fires after a new tab is shown (and thus the previous active tab is hidden). Use event.target and event.relatedTarget to target the previous active tab and the new active tab, respectively. |
var tabEl = document.querySelector('button[data-bs-toggle="tab"]')
tabEl.addEventListener('shown.bs.tab', function (event) {
event.target // newly activated tab
event.relatedTarget // previous active tab
})
