I have been trying to put a Navbar into a React Project using reactstrap. But the Navbar is not showing just the h1 in the NavbarBrand is rendered for some reasons. I tried to change the css styling, copy and pasted other example Navbars from different websites and tried other kinda similar solutions from here but nothing worked. I am using React version 17.0.2 and reactstrap version 8.9.0.
This is my Navbar Component:
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Navbar, NavbarBrand, Nav, NavbarToggler, Collapse, NavItem } from 'reactstrap';
//import { NavLink } from 'react-router-dom';
class Header extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
isNavOpen: false
};
this.toggleNav = this.toggleNav.bind(this);
}
toggleNav() {
this.setState({
isNavOpen: !this.state.isNavOpen
});
}
render() {
return(
<Navbar bg="dark" variant="dark">
<div className="container">
<NavbarToggler onClick={this.toggleNav} />
<NavbarBrand href="/">
<h1>Navbar</h1>
</NavbarBrand>
<Collapse isOpen={this.state.isNavOpen} navbar>
<Nav navbar>
<NavItem>
<p>Test</p>
</NavItem>
</Nav>
</Collapse>
</div>
</Navbar>
);
}
}
export default Header;
I am rather new to React and Javascript overall i hope someone can help me.
You have the isNavOpen in state set to false and your
<Collapse isOpen={this.state.isNavOpen} navbar>
<Nav navbar>
<NavItem>
<p>Test</p>
</NavItem>
</Nav>
</Collapse>
depends upon isNavOpen state which expects to be true to be shown on the screen.
Try setting isNavOpen to true in the state.
