How to create a navigation using Flexbox

Here’s what we’ll be creating:

Alt Text
Hey!👋

In this post, we are going to create a navigation using Flexbox property.

HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Navigation</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
    <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Montserrat:wght@300;400&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
    <script src="https://kit.fontawesome.com/41adfddec4.js" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

</head>
<body>
    <div class="container">
        <header>
            <div class="logo">logo</div>
            <nav>
                <a href="#">about</a>
                <a href="#"><i class="fas fa-user"></i>team</a>
                <a href="#"><i class="fas fa-th"></i>work</a>
                <a href="#"><i class="fas fa-dollar-sign"></i>pricing</a>
                <a href="#"><i class="fas fa-envelope"></i>contact</a>
            </nav>
        </header>
    </div>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

CSS:

*{
    box-sizing: border-box;
}
body{
    margin:0;
    padding:0;
    font-family: 'Montserrat', sans-serif;
    font-size:1.125rem;
}
.container{
    max-width:1366px;
    margin:0 auto;
}
header{
    display:flex;
    align-items: center;
    padding:15px 0;
}
.logo{
    margin-right:auto;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    font-weight: 300;
    font-size:1.5rem;
}
a{
    text-decoration: none;
    color:#000000;
    text-transform:uppercase;
    font-weight: 400;
    font-size: 1rem;
    margin-left: 1rem;
}
i{
    padding-right: 5px;
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Hi Pinky, this is a really cool idea!!

I do have one suggestion, especially if you plan on doing a series of posts like this, I suggest using the built in markdown for code block with three backticks. I included a screen shot for reference. This way a user can highlight and copy portions of your code examples!!

If you have any questions let me know!

I was actually confused how to use build in markdown in my post as this is my very first post. Thank you! I will keep this in mind next time. 🙌

You’re welcome! I didn’t know how to do it my first post either and someone else had to show me as well 😅

In that same vein you host your code somewhere like JSFiddle then take the URL and put it in a tag like this.

{% jsfiddle lhttps://jsfiddle.net/ink2twenty/f16voc7q/ result html css %}

There's lots of tags like this you might find helpful in the Editor Guide. 😊

Вау, я в шоке! А нет, показалось... Стоило ради этого пост пилить? Это же элементарно
