Steps to create bootstrap navbar hover animation menu
- It is better to create hover effect only for desktop screens. That's why we use Media query.
@media all and (min-width: 992px) { // CSScode } - Add
display:block;to dropdown-menu - Hide dropdown-menu with
opacity: 0; visibility: hidden;and change position before it appears, for extop:250%;or addtransform - Now make menu visible when mouse hovers on
nav-itembychanging opacity:1; visibility:visible; - Change final position to
top:100%;when mouse hovers onnav-item. Add some transition - Note: bootstrap has
