Minimal navbar with configurable animated underline effects (slide, grow, or fade) on navigation links. Perfect for portfolio sites and creative agencies wanting subtle hover animations.
Minimal, centered-max-width navbar for portfolios and creative agencies where each nav link carries a configurable hover/active underline animation instead of background highlighting. The active page is driven by an activeNavItem prop rather than route detection.

npx shadcn add "https://ui.beste.co/r-base/navbar31?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"This installs the block to components/beste/block/navbar31.tsx and the shadcn/ui dependency it needs (button).
The installed file exports navbar31Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working navbar in one line.
import { Navbar31, navbar31Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/navbar31";
export default function Layout() {
return <Navbar31 {...navbar31Demo} />;
}Then replace the demo with your own props. Written out, a trimmed setup looks like this:
import { Navbar31 } from "@/components/beste/block/navbar31";
export default function Layout() {
return (
<Navbar31
logo={{ text: "Studio", href: "/" }}
navItems={[
{ label: "Home", href: "/" },
{ label: "Work", href: "/work" },
{ label: "Contact", href: "/contact" },
]}
activeNavItem="Home"
buttons={[{ label: "Sign up", href: "/signup" }]}
underlineStyle="grow"
/>
);

navItems | NavItem[] | [] | Nav links rendered in the desktop bar and mobile menu |
activeNavItem | string | – | label of the item to mark as current; controls its underline and text color, caller-managed |
buttons | Array<{ label: string; href?: string; variant?: "default" | "outline" | "ghost" }> | [] | Call-to-action buttons after the nav links |
underlineStyle | "slide" | "grow" | "fade" | "slide" | Which pseudo-element animation the underline uses on hover/active |
className | string | – | Extra classes for the outer <nav> |
