After reviewing the navigation documentation provided on the bootstrap website, it appears that your explanation regarding the nav-item
class is accurate for the most part. While this class may not be commonly used by bootstrap, there are instances where it is utilized in specific navigation examples:
- Tabs implement the
nav-item
class to adjust the spacing of items in the list using margin-bottom: -1px
- Fill utilizes
nav-item
to ensure equal width distribution among all items
By including the nav-item
class, developers can easily switch between different navigation styles within the bootstrap framework by simply modifying the wrapping class on the <ul>
. This feature proves particularly advantageous when dynamically generating navigation menus, as it reduces the need to make changes in multiple locations.
