Navbar Component

A responsive, accessible navbar component built with semantic HTML and Tailwind CSS. Structure top navigation with branding, links, and action items in flexible layouts. Supports sticky positioning, mobile menus, dropdown integration, and theme-aware styling for modern site headers.

Navbar components display horizontal navigation lists for site structure and user navigation. Built with semantic HTML nav and list elements, the Frutjam navbar system supports multiple layouts, responsive behavior, and nested menu integration. Accessible and keyboard-navigable, navbars are ideal for main site navigation, breadcrumbs, and tab interfaces.

Navbar Placements

The navbar component is by default positioned at the start (left in LTR). Use navbar-start, navbar-center, or navbar-end for horizontal alignment, and navbar-top, navbar-middle, or navbar-bottom for vertical alignment. Placement is RTL-friendly.

Use horizontal placement classes for aligning the navbar list along the X-axis, and vertical placement classes when the navbar has a custom height.

Horizontal Placements

Control how the navbar-list sits along the X-axis. These are RTL-friendly (Start/End instead of Left/Right).

Horizontally align to the left (start)
