Too much space between list items in Navbar Bootstrap - html

Question

How do I make it so the items (menu, about us, etc) are all evenly spaced out throughout the navbar and not bunched up to one side?

Answer 1

My tip is to set the .navbar-header to a fixed width depending on your logo width and make it position: absolute;. I've set it to 200px;. Than the padding-left of the .navbar-collapse will be that 200px; After that if you have 6 menuitems, than one item should be exactly 16.666% wide.
See it in action here: https://jsfiddle.net/9ts0Lcxe/
Added code in css in is:
#media (min-width: 768px) {
.navbar .navbar-header {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
width: 200px;
}
.navbar .navbar-collapse {
width: 100%;
padding-left: 200px;
}
.navbar .navbar-collapse .navbar-nav {
width: 100%;
}
.navbar .navbar-collapse .navbar-nav > li {
width: 16.666%;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
white-space: nowrap;
}
}

Answer 2

CSS Flex seems to be a good solution.
These two links have helped me a lot.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Flexible_Box_Layout/Basic_Concepts_of_Flexbox
https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/
Your code could look like this:
#media (min-width: 992px) {
ul.navbar-nav {
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
width: 100%
}
}
