Hamburger in Navbar

Explore advanced navbar options & customization in the Navbar Documentation.

Start

By default this hamburger menu will be displayed on the left side of a navbar.

MDB supports right-to-left so you can easily reverse text direction as well as this display of the navbar icon.

So this element will have the hamburger menu at the start of a navbar - on left or right side depending on the text direction.

Edit in sandbox 
<nav class="navbar navbar-light bg-light">
  <div class="container-fluid">
        <button
      class="navbar-toggler"
      type="button"
      (click)="externalContent.toggle()"
      aria-controls="navbarToggleExternalContent"
      [attr.aria-expanded]="!externalContent.collapsed"
      aria-label="Toggle navigation"
    >
      <i class="fas fa-bars"></i>
    </button>
  </div>
</nav>
<div
  class="collapse"
  id="navbarToggleExternalContent"
  mdbCollapse
  #externalContent="mdbCollapse"
>
  <div class="bg-light shadow-3 p-4">
     <button class="btn btn-link btn-block border-bottom m-0" >Link 1</button>
     <button class="btn btn-link btn-block border-bottom m-0">Link 2</button>
     <button class="btn btn-link btn-block m-0">Link 3</button>
  </div>
</div>

End

By default this hamburger menu will be displayed on the right side of a navbar.

You can easily push an element to the end of its parent by using the .ms-auto class which stands for margin start: auto.

Thanks to this approach this example also supports RTL text direction (so with RTL enabled it will display on the left side).
