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.

                  aria-controls="navbarToggleExternalContent"
                  [attr.aria-expanded]="!externalContent.collapsed"
                  aria-label="Toggle navigation"

                </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).
