Header

The header component is a responsive and versatile horizontal navigation bar with the following structure:

qtm-header: the main container which comprises:

  • qtm-header-brand: the left side, which can contain the logo, the hamburger icon, the product name
  • qtm-header-divider: the vertical line to separate header sides
  • qtm-header-menu: the right side which comprises:
    • qtm-header-menu-left: the left part of the header-menu, which grows or shrinks to fit the space available in its flex header-menu.
    • qtm-header-menu-right: the right part of the header-menu, which is always at the end of the header

Fixed header

You can now fix the header to either the top or bottom of the page.

Add the fixed utility class with top-0 or bottom-0 to the header component.

<qtm-header classes="fixed bottom-0"> ... </qtm-header>

Responsiveness

Responsiveness will depend on the use case, and it should be decided which components are more important than others. If, for example, the button is more important than the tabs, then the button could stay and the tabs be removed instead.

Read the responsive guide to get more details.

<qtm-header-menu-left classes="hidden medium:flex"> ... </qtm-header-menu-left>

Sizes

Header are available in three size: small, medium and large. You can use the attribute size to control height and padding of header.
