Navbar – Top Fixed Google Materialize Navigation

Introduction

The Navbar is a crucial component in any website, providing a way for users to navigate through your content. In this tutorial, we will be covering how to use the Top Fixed Google Materialize Navigation, a popular and widely-used navigation bar that provides a sleek and modern design. The Top Fixed Navbar is a great way to keep your navigation bar fixed at the top of the page, making it easy for users to access your website's main sections. In this tutorial, we will cover the basics of setting up and customizing the Top Fixed Google Materialize Navigation.

Setting up the Top Fixed Navbar

To set up the Top Fixed Navbar, you will need to include the Materialize CSS and JavaScript files in your HTML file. You can do this by adding the following lines of code to the head section of your HTML file:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/materialize/1.0.0/css/materialize.min.css">
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/materialize/1.0.0/js/materialize.min.js"></script>

Next, you will need to create a div element with the class "navbar" to serve as the container for your navigation bar. You can add this element to the body section of your HTML file:

<div class="navbar">
  <!-- Navigation bar content will go here -->
</div>

Adding Navigation Items

To add navigation items to your Top Fixed Navbar, you will need to use the "nav" element and add "a" elements inside it to create links to your website's main sections. You can add the following code to the "navbar" div element:

<div class="navbar">
  <nav>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#home">Home</a></li>
      <li><a href="#about">About</a></li>
      <li><a href="#contact">Contact</a></li>
    </ul>
  </nav>
</div>

In this example, we have added three navigation items: "Home", "About", and "Contact". You can replace these with your own links or modify them to suit your needs.

Customizing the Navbar

The Top Fixed Navbar provides several options for customization, including changing the background color, text color, and font size. You can customize the navbar by adding CSS styles to your HTML file. For example, you can add the following code to change the background color of the navbar:

.navbar {
  background-color: #333;
}

You can also customize the text color and font size by adding the following code:

.navbar.nav {
  color: #fff;
  font-size: 16px;
}

Adding a Search Bar

The Top Fixed Navbar also provides an option to add a search bar. You can add a search bar by adding the following code to the "navbar" div element:

<div class="navbar">
  <nav>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#home">Home</a></li>
      <li><a href="#about">About</a></li>
      <li><a href="#contact">Contact</a></li>
    </ul>
    <form>
      <input type="search" id="search" placeholder="Search...">
      <label for="search"><i class="material-icons">search</i></label>
    </form>
  </nav>
</div>

In this example, we have added a search bar with a placeholder text "Search...". You can modify this code to suit your needs.
