How we can create a responsive navigation bar using Bootstrap? Solution: See this Bootstrap Responsive Menu Bar With Light/Dark Mode, Complete Navbar Ready To Use.
Previously I have shared a mega menu using bootstrap, but this is a responsive navbar with light and dark mode feature. Basically, the menu or navigation bar is for navigating or showing important links of the website to users. And most of the websites use a stylish menu bar, because the first impression of your website is the menu/navbar.
Today you will learn to create Complete Navbar with dark and light mode switch. Basically, there is a navigation bar with a logo on the left side and some links on the right side. And when you will scroll down then the height of the navbar will be decreased. Also, there are some sub-menu items in a link you can reveal those by hover on it. An add-on feature of this menubar is, there is a switch for changing dark and light mode which is very important in modern days.
So, Today I am sharing Bootstrap Responsive Menu Bar With Light/Dark Mode. This navbar is based on bootstrap 4, and also used CSS for better styling and adding animations. There are also used jQuery, as we know bootstrap can’t run without it and also some functions like dark/light switch, mobile menu, etc based on jQuery.
If you are thinking now how this responsive menu bar actually is, then see the preview given below.

Now you can see this visually, also you can see it live by pressing the button given above. If you like this then get the source code of its.

Bootstrap Responsive Menu Bar With Light/Dark Mode Source Code
Before sharing source code, let’s talk about it. First I have created the whole layout using bootstrap pre-built class and ID names. For creating the navigation I have used Bootstrap’s <nav class="navbar navbar-expand-md"> class names (info). After the navbar items, I have created two more main divs, one for heading and one for dark mode switching.
Now using CSS I have done extra style to the elements, as you can see in the preview. Basically, with CSS I gave color and animation values because bootstrap has prebuilt position styles. There I have used @media query for decreasing and change the position of some items on the small screen size. And many more things I have done using CSS like the mobile menu icon, box-shadow, animation-delay, etc.
jQuery handling here the 4 main features of this program. First is to reduce the navbar’s height on scroll down, second is to remove the animation on the switch, third is managing menu items in mobile or small screen size devices, and the fourth is dark and light mode switch. The codes can’t be explained in writing, you will understand after getting the codes.
For creating this program you have to create 3 files for that. First file for HTML, second for CSS, and the third for JavaScript. Follow the steps to creating this without any error.

Create an HTML file named ‘index.html‘ and put these codes given below.

Thank you
I found the menu very interesting, but I believe the hamburguer menu it is not working with the jquery version 3.5.1
Hi Henriques, the burger menu is working under 3.5.1 in my case.
I tried to solve the problem with the blue frame when clicking a dropdown for normal or small resolutions without any success. Can you help me solving that?
the browser does not resize on my phone…
You should add below line to your header for it to correctly resize on mobile devices.
