How to create navbar to container-fluid in yii2 ?

Answer 1

The correct way to make the container fluid is to adjust your Navbar's configuration in your NavBar::begin declaration like so:

NavBar::begin([
   'innerContainerOptions' => ['class' => 'container-fluid'],
]);

Answer 2

You can use:

use yii\bootstrap\NavBar;
use yii\bootstrap\Nav;



NavBar::begin([
        'brandLabel' => 'NavBar Test',
        'innerContainerOptions' => ['class' => 'container-fluid'],
        'brandUrl' => Yii::$app->homeUrl,
        'options' => [
        'class' => 'navbar-inverse',
    ],
]);
echo Nav::widget([
    'options' => ['class' => 'navbar-nav navbar-right'],
    'items' => [
        ['label' => 'Home', 'url' => ['/site/index']],
        ['label' => 'About', 'url' => ['/site/about']],
    ],
]);
NavBar::end();

also for menu only:

use yii\widgets\Menu;

echo Menu::widget([
    'items' => [
        // Important: you need to specify url as 'controller/action',
        // not just as 'controller' even if default action is used.
        ['label' => 'Home', 'url' => ['site/index']],
        // 'Products' menu item will be selected as long as the route is 'product/index'
        ['label' => 'Products', 'url' => ['product/index'], 'items' => [
            ['label' => 'New Arrivals', 'url' => ['product/index', 'tag' => 'new']],
            ['label' => 'Most Popular', 'url' => ['product/index', 'tag' => 'popular']],
        ]],
        ['label' => 'Login', 'url' => ['site/login'], 'visible' => Yii::$app->user->isGuest],
    ],
]);
