Multiple navbar components
In some cases you might need a complex component that consists of multiple rows. This is where multiple content navbars can be useful. Basically 2 or more navbars can be easily used together, if one comes after another and navbar containers have corresponding class names. Optionally you can add .rounded-top and .rounded-bottom classes to the first and last navbars accordingly. Additionally, since navbar component has bottom margin, you need to add .mb-0 class to all navbars except the last one. Use other utility classes for additional adjustments.
Multiple dark navbars
You can combine default dark navbar color with custom colors just by adding .bg-[color] class to the navbar container. As always, all navbar content is adjusted accordingly. You can also use border utility classes to control vertical and horizontal borders stacking.
Multiple light navbars
Light navbar have white background color by default defined in $navbar-light-bg variable. You can use additional light color classes from color system: .bg-light for light grey color, .bg-[color]-100 for other light colors. In some cases stacked light navbars require border color or width adjustments, use border utility classes to control border styles.
Mixing colors
Thanks to color helper classes, background and border utility classes you can easily mix background colors in multiple content navbars. The example below demonstrates dark teal and white navbars, but you can mix up colors without any limits: dark/white, white/dark, white/alphas, alphas/dark etc. Check out all available colors here.
Navbar component markup
Navbar component markup is similar to default navbar markup. But in most cases navbar component doesn't use .navbar-brand container that occupies left navbar side, since content navbar has slightly different purpose and doesn't need brand logo. Use border and margin helper classes to add bottom spacing and borders, and .rounded class to make it rounded. Navbar component supports all available navbar styling and sizing options, including all navbar components.
Default colors markup:
<!-- First navbar component -->
<div class="navbar navbar-dark navbar-expand-lg mb-0 rounded-top">
<!-- Mobile toggler -->
<div class="d-lg-none">
...
</div>
<!-- /mobile toggler -->
<!-- Navbar content -->
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbar-component1">
...
</div>
<!-- /navbar content -->
</div>
<!-- /first navbar component -->
<!-- Second navbar component -->
<div class="navbar navbar-light navbar-expand-lg rounded-bottom border-top-0">
<!-- Mobile toggler -->
<div class="d-lg-none">
...
</div>
<!-- /mobile toggler -->
<!-- Navbar content -->
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbar-component2">
...
</div>
<!-- /navbar content -->
</div>
<!-- /second navbar component -->
Custom colors markup:
<!-- First navbar component -->
<div class="navbar navbar-dark bg-teal navbar-expand-lg mb-0 rounded-top">
<!-- Mobile toggler -->
<div class="d-lg-none">
...
</div>
<!-- /mobile toggler -->
<!-- Navbar content -->
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbar-component1">
...
</div>
<!-- /navbar content -->
</div>
<!-- /first navbar component -->
<!-- Second navbar component -->
<div class="navbar navbar-dark bg-teal navbar-expand-lg rounded-bottom border-top-0">

<div class="d-lg-none">
...
</div>
<!-- /mobile toggler -->
<!-- Navbar content -->
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbar-component2">
...
</div>
<!-- /navbar content -->
</div>
<!-- /second navbar component -->
