Templates

Start by copying our navbar template:

Of course, you have to replace the assets (logo, profile picture) by your own.

Respect the navbar markup

For our navbar styles to apply, you have to:

  • add class="navbar-wagon" to the initial Bootstrap <nav>
  • your logo should be a <img> inside the .navbar-brand link.
  • your profile picture should hold the class class="img-avatar"
  • To apply a "button-style" to a link, add it a class="btn"

SCSS template

Our _navbar.css.scss implements style rules on the .wagon-navbar class. Herebelow we detail the role of each sass variable.

Integration in Rails

Rails assets

In Rails, the integration is easy if you have installed sass-rails and bootstrap-sass gems. You can just add the _navbar.scss file to your Rails layout stylesheets, and then import this file in application.css.scss

//stylesheets/layout/_navbar.css.scss

// Our navbar SCSS code
//stylesheets/layout/_index.css.scss
@import "navbar";
@import "footer";
@import "sidebar";
//stylesheets/application.css.scss

/* -------------------------------------
 * Layout stylesheets
 * ------------------------------------- */
 @import "layout/index";

Here you go!
