How to make a Bootstrap 4 full width dropdown in Navbar?
Use w-100
(width:100%) on the dropdown-menu
, and make sure the parent .dropdown
is position-static
to allow the menu to expand to full width...
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#" style="color: red;">LOGO GOES HERE</a>
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarSupportedContent" aria-controls="navbarSupportedContent" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarSupportedContent">
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item dropdown position-static">
<a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="#" id="navbarDropdown" role="button" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
Dropdown
</a>
<div class="dropdown-menu w-100" aria-labelledby="navbarDropdown">
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a>
<div class="dropdown-divider"></div>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>

I'm trying to make a full-width dropdown that looks like a collapse item - the full-width collapsable navigations that websites now use often. But I cannot figure out how to do it.
I've tried adding Bootstrap's collapse plugin to it, but that didn't work. Is it considered safe practice to add more than one .navbar-collapse class to a navigation bar?
Or should my approach be just editing Bootstrap's dropdown? And if so, how should I do it?
Here's an image to show you exactly what I'm trying to achieve:
And here's the outline of my code, please view snipped in full width:

Retros about 6 yearsThanks, Zim. This would work. But is this the best solution if I want to keep dropdown links just below the dropdown title, like in my picture?
