Sticky Sub-Nav Pills

Navbar102: Sticky Sub-Nav Pills

A main bar with the brand, links and a button, stacked over a second sticky row of section pills for the current page. Clicking a pill slides a filled indicator under it with a shared framer-motion layout. There is no mega menu: on a phone the toggle reveals the main links as one horizontally scrollable row of pills, and the section pills scroll sideways as well.

Installation

Swap YOUR_EMAIL and YOUR_KEY for the email and license key on your account. Find your license key on your account page.

Radix flavor

npx shadcn add "https://beste.dev/r/navbar102?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"

Base UI flavor

npx shadcn add "https://beste.dev/r-base/navbar102?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"

This installs the block to components/beste/block/navbar102.tsx plus the shadcn button primitive it uses, and adds framer-motion for the sliding indicator.

Quick start

The installed file exports navbar102Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working navbar in one line.

import { Navbar102, navbar102Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/navbar102";

export default function Page() {
  return <Navbar102 {...navbar102Demo} />;
}

Then replace the demo with your own props. Written out, a trimmed setup looks like this:

import { Navbar102 } from "@/components/beste/block/navbar102";

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Navbar102
      brand="Orbit"
      links={[
        { label: "Product", href: "/product" },
        { label: "Pricing", href: "/pricing" },
      ]}
      action={{ label: "Try Orbit free", href: "/signup" }}
      subnav={{
        title: "Orbit Analytics",
        items: [
          { label: "Overview", href: "#overview" },
          { label: "Dashboards", href: "#dashboards" },
          { label: "Pricing", href: "#pricing" },
        ],
      }}
      defaultActive={0}
      labels={{ open: "Open menu", close: "Close menu", sections: "Page sections" }}
    />
  );
}

Props

type SubNav = {
  title?: string;
  items: NavItem[];
};

type NavItem = {
  label: string;
  href: string;
};

type ActionButton = {
  label: string;
  href: string;
  variant?: "default" | "outline" | "ghost" | "secondary";
};

Behavior notes

• Both rows live inside one sticky <header>, so the section pills stay pinned under the main bar while the page scrolls.
• The active pill is set by click and marked with aria-current="location"; a single motion.span with a layoutId from useId moves between pills, and the move is instant when the visitor prefers reduced motion.
• Point the pill href values at section anchors on the page (#pricing); the link keeps its native jump while the indicator slides.
• The mobile pill row is always rendered and toggled with CSS classes, so its links are in the server-rendered HTML; while closed it carries aria-hidden and inert. The toggle has aria-expanded, Escape closes the row and a link click closes it.
• Both pill rows scroll horizontally with hidden scrollbars; the mobile row snaps each pill to the start edge.
