Easily generate a [Bootstrap](https://getbootstrap.com/) navbar in your Rails app

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rails_bootstrap_navbar'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rails_bootstrap_navbar

## Requirements

The necessary files from Bootstrap >= 2.0 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

### 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`](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-sass) or [`bootstrap`](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-rubygem) 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 explicitly in an initializer:

```ruby
# config/initializers/rails-bootstrap-navbar.rb

BootstrapNavbar.configure do |config|
config.bootstrap_version = '4.0.0'
end
```

### Output HTML

The gem [bootstrap-navbar](https://github.com/bootstrap-ruby/bootstrap-navbar) is used to generate the HTML. Please refer to the gem's [README](https://github.com/bootstrap-ruby/bootstrap-navbar/blob/master/README.md) and the following Wiki entries for detailed instructions on how to generate the navbar:
