Switching the horizontal tab design from Bootstrap 3 to Bootstrap 4

I'm currently working on adapting a code snippet from bootsnip that creates horizontal Bootstrap tabs with material-style design. I've encountered some challenges in converting it to Bootstrap 4, specifically in updating the CSS to use .nav-item for li elements and .nav-link for anchors. The output doesn't match my expectations.

Here is the original code using Bootstrap 3: horizontal tab

And below is my attempt at using Bootstrap 4:

.no-style{
text-decoration:none!important;
}
.nav-tabs {
background-color:#333;
border-bottom: 2px solid #DDD; 
}
.nav-tabs > .nav-item > .nav-link.active, .nav-tabs > .nav-item > .nav-link.active:focus, .nav-tabs > .nav-item > .nav-link.active:hover {
border-width: 0;
}
.nav-tabs > .nav-item > .nav-link {
border: none; 
color: rgba(255,255,255,.6);
}

.nav-tabs > .nav-item > .nav-link.active, .nav-tabs > .nav-item > .nav-link:hover {
border: none; 
color: rgba(255,255,255,1); 
background: transparent;
}

.nav-tabs > .nav-item > .nav-link::after {
content: ""; 
background: #4285F4; 
height: 2px; 
position: absolute; 
width: 100%; 
left: 0px; 
bottom: -1px; 
transition: all 250ms ease 0s; 
transform: scale(0); 
}
.nav-tabs > .nav-item > .nav-link.active::after, .nav-tabs > .nav-item:hover > .nav-link::after { 
transform: scale(1); 
}

Answer №1

To ensure the correct positioning of an ::after element, it is crucial that the parent element is properly positioned, which I have now rectified.
