Keep Your Navbar Items in Line on Small Screens with Bootstrap

When designing a website, having a responsive and elegant navbar is crucial for user experience. However, one common issue many developers face is ensuring that navbar items do not collapse into multiple lines when viewed on smaller screens. This can create a disjointed and cluttered appearance, making it difficult for users to navigate. If you’ve encountered this problem, don’t worry — we have a solution for you!

Understanding the Issue

In a Bootstrap navbar, items may instinctively fall into a new line when there is not enough space available. This can often occur due to the default CSS styles employed by Bootstrap's flexbox utilities, particularly when the flex-direction is set to column. As a result, items stack vertically instead of remaining aligned horizontally, especially in smaller viewports.

The Simple Solution

To ensure your navbar items stay in line and don’t collapse on small screens, you can make a quick adjustment to your HTML and CSS settings involving the flexbox utility classes provided by Bootstrap.

Step-by-Step Guide
