Nav

Navigation bits in Bootstrap all share a general Nav component and styles. Swap variants to switch between each style. The base Nav component is built with flexbox and provide a strong foundation for building all types of navigation components.

This is a pass through component from React-Bootstrap.
See React-Bootstrap for additional documentation.
