Middleman extension to easily generate a Bootstrap navbar

Middleman Bootstrap Navbar

Middleman extension to easily generate a Bootstrap navbar

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'middleman-bootstrap-navbar'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install middleman-bootstrap-navbar

Requirements

Middleman

Middleman >= 3.1

Bootstrap

Bootstrap >= 2.0

The necessary Bootstrap files have to be included separately, they are not part of this gem.

At least the CSS files for the navbar are required, and the JS files for dropdowns and responsive features, if you want to use those in the navbar.

Usage

Activate extension

Activate the extensions in config.rb in your Middleman app:

activate :bootstrap_navbar

Set Bootstrap version

This gem needs to know which Bootstrap version you are using, because the navbar HTML looks different in different Bootstrap versions.

If you're using either the bootstrap-sass or bootstrap gem, you're all set because the Boostrap version will be sniffed automatically from those gems' versions. Make sure to include the bootstrap-sass or bootstrap gem before rails_bootstrap_navbar in your Gemfile though.

If you include the Bootstrap CSS and JS some other way, you need to set the Bootstrap version when activating the extension:

activate :bootstrap_navbar do |bootstrap_navbar|
  bootstrap_navbar.bootstrap_version = '4.0.0'
end

Output HTML

The gem bootstrap-navbar is used to generate the HTML. Please refer to the gem's README and the following Wiki entries for detailed instructions on how to generate the navbar:

Usage with Bootstrap 2

Usage with Bootstrap 3

Usage with Bootstrap 4
