I am new to Bootstrap and am trying to build a three-column navigation menu with the nav-links centered in the middle. I could build this in five minutes using grids or flexbox but for the life of me, I can't center the nav-links!!! picture for reference.
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-light bg-light">
<img src="/resources/images/Babyboom_logo_main.png" width="200" height="50" alt="BabyBoom logo" class="navbar-brand">
<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>
<col>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarSupportedContent">
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Sessions</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Contact</a>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="col-sm">
<a class="btn btn-primary float-right" href="#" role="button">Book Now</a>
</div>
</div>
</nav>You can do it in two ways
By adding mx-auto class to ul tag i.e
<ul class="col-md-3 navbar-nav mx-auto">
By adding justify-content-center to the collapse div
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse justify-content-center" id="navbarSupportedContent">
Hope it work for you :)
try using mx-auto. The bellow code should work for you:)
