Bootstrap 5 navbar align items right

How do you align Bootstrap 5 navbar items to the right? In Bootstrap 3 it's navbar-right. In Bootstrap 4 it's ml-auto. But not work for Bootstrap 5.

Solution 1:

Bootstrap 5 (update 2021)

As of Bootstrap 5 beta, left and right have been replaced by start and end for RTL support. Therefore the margin utilities changed for Bootstrap 5 beta:

ml-auto => ms-auto (start)
mr-auto => me-auto (end)

Also note, all uses of left and right have been replaced with start and end in Bootstrap 5...

ml-* => ms-*
pl-* => ps-*
mr-* => me-*
pr-* => pe-*
text-left => text-start
text-right=> text-end
float-left => float-start
float-right=> float-end
border-left => border-start
border-right=> border-end
rounded-left => rounded-start
rounded-right=> rounded-end
dropleft => dropstart
dropright=> dropend
dropdown-menu--left => dropdown-menu--start
dropdown-menu--right => dropdown-menu--end
carousel-item-left => carousel-item-start
carousel-item-right=> carousel-item-end

Bootstrap 5 alpha (original answer)

This question was asked for Bootstrap 5 alpha, and therefore ml-auto should still work.

Align nav items to right in Bootstrap 5

Solution 2:

I changed mr to ms and it worked for me, this is the best solution.

<ul class="navbar-nav ms-auto mb-2 mb-lg-0">

Solution 3:

You need to use ms-auto instead of ml-auto in bootstrap 5.

Horizontal direction sensitive variables, utilities and mixins are renamed with more logical names — start and end in lieu of left and right in Bootstrap 5.

Renamed .left-* and .right-* to .start-* and .end-*.
Renamed .float-left and .float-right to .float-start and .float-end.
Renamed .border-left and .border-right to .border-start and .border-end.
Renamed .rounded-left and .rounded-right to .rounded-start and .rounded-end.
Renamed .ml-* and .mr-* to .ms-* and .me-*.
Renamed .pl-* and .pr-* to .ps-* and .pe-*.
Renamed .text-left and .text-right to .text-start and .text-end.

You can see more bootstrap 5 migration details here: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/migration/#sass

Solution 4:

This question is already answered here

For more clarification, as per Bootstrap 5 documentation, some utilities are renamed. including left and right.

left ==> start

right ==> end

therefore

ml has changed to ms

mr has changed to me

so right now:

ml-auto ==> ms-auto

mr-auto ==> me-auto

you can see this here in bootstrap documentation

Therefore, if you want your navbar items to be aligned "right", you have to put:

 <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarScroll">
  <ul class="navbar-nav ms-auto mb-2 mb-lg-0">
    <li class="nav-item">
      <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
    </li>
  </ul>
</div>

Solution 5:

It is the same as Bootstrap 4 you should use ml-auto. Here is a snippet from. Navbar Bootstrap 5 offical And here is the official home page for Bootstrap 5

            <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
        </button>
    <div class="collapse navbar-collapse " id="navbarNavAltMarkup">
      <!-- ml-auto still works just fine-->
      <div class="navbar-nav ml-auto">
        <a class="nav-link active" aria-current="page" href="#">Home</a>
        <a class="nav-link" href="#">Features</a>
        <a class="nav-link" href="#">Pricing</a>
        <a class="nav-link disabled" href="#" tabindex="-1" aria-disabled="true">Disabled</a>
      </div>

Edit

The question was asked when bootstrap 5 was in alpha. But right now we have beta out and they did change the naming to be margin-start and margin-end

Renamed .ml-* and .mr-* to .ms-* and .me-*

Renamed .pl-* and .pr-* to.ps-* and .pe-*

So the answer should be like this:

<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" integrity="sha384-giJF6kkoqNQ00vy+HMDP7azOuL0xtbfIcaT9wjKHr8RbDVddVHyTfAAsrekwKmP1" crossorigin="anonymous">

  <div class="container-fluid">
    <a class="navbar-brand">Navbar</a>
    <form class="d-flex">
      <input class="form-control me-2" type="search" placeholder="Search" aria-label="Search">
      <button class="btn btn-outline-success" type="submit">Search</button>
    </form>
  </div>
</nav>
