Components
Navigation components using Tailwind CSS.
The base nav component is built with flexbox and provide a strong foundation for building all types of navigation components.
<nav class="flex space-x-6">
<a class="py-4 px-1 inline-flex items-center gap-2 text-sm whitespace-nowrap text-blue-500 hover:text-blue-700" href="#">
Link
</a>
<a class="py-4 px-1 inline-flex items-center gap-2 text-sm font-medium whitespace-nowrap text-blue-500 hover:text-blue-700" href="#" aria-current="page">
Active
</a>
<a class="py-4 px-1 inline-flex items-center gap-2 text-sm whitespace-nowrap text-blue-500 hover:text-blue-700" href="#">

</a>
<a class="py-4 px-1 inline-flex items-center gap-2 text-sm whitespace-nowrap text-gray-400 pointer-events-none dark:text-gray-600" href="#">
Disabled
</a>
</nav>
Classes are used throughout, so your markup can be super flexible. Use <ul>s like above, <ol> if the order of your items is important.
<ul class="list-disc space-x-6">
<li class="inline-block"><a class="py-4 px-1 inline-flex items-center gap-2 text-sm whitespace-nowrap text-blue-500 hover:text-blue-700" href="#">

</a></li>
<li class="inline-block"><a class="py-4 px-1 inline-flex items-center gap-2 text-sm font-medium whitespace-nowrap text-blue-500 hover:text-blue-700" href="#" aria-current="page">
