Base nav 

                    
                      <ul class="nav">
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
                        </li>
                      </ul>

Centered with .justify-content-center:

                    
                      <ul class="nav justify-content-center">
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
                        </li>
                      </ul>

Right-aligned with .justify-content-end:

                    
                      <ul class="nav justify-content-end">
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
                        </li>
                      </ul>

Nav sizes

Use .nav-sm class for smaller font-size of the .nav-link classes.

                    
                      <ul class="nav nav-sm">
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
                        </li>
                      </ul>

Nav gutters

Remove the padding-left and right from .nav-links with .nav-x-0 on the .row class.

                    
                      <ul class="nav nav-x-0 flex-column">
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
                        </li>
                      </ul>

Or padding-top and bottom with .nav-y-0 class.

                    
                      <ul class="nav nav-y-0">
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
                        </li>
                      </ul>

Use .nav-x-sm for smaller padding-right and left sizes.

                    
                      <ul class="nav nav-x-sm flex-column">
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
                        </li>
                      </ul>

Vertical

Use .flex-column class.

                    
                      <ul class="nav flex-column">
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
                        </li>
                      </ul>

Pills

Take that same HTML, but use .nav-pills instead:

                    
                      <ul class="nav nav-pills">
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
                        </li>
                      </ul>

Classic

Take that same HTML, but use .nav-classic instead:

                    
                      <ul class="nav nav-classic">
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
                        </li>
                      </ul>

Shadow 

                    
                      <ul class="nav nav-classic nav-shadow">
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
                        </li>
                      </ul>

                          <a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
                        </li>
                      </ul>

Fill and justify

Use .nav-fill class.

                    
                      <ul class="nav nav-pills nav-fill">
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link" href="#">Much longer nav link</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
                        </li>
                      </ul>

Tabs

Takes the basic nav from above and adds the .nav-tabs class to generate a tabbed interface.

                    
                      <ul class="nav nav-tabs">
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="nav-item">
                          <a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
                        </li>
                      </ul>
