React Bootstrap 4 Ribbon

A responsive Microsoft's ribbon-like menu for React using Bootstrap 4, forked from and inspired by LGK's excellent work doing the same thing on Bootstrap 3. See a demo.

Installation

Add it using npm npm i react-bootstrap4-ribbon.

Next, import the components:

import  { Ribbon, RibbonGroup, RibbonGroupItem, RibbonButton }  from  "react-bootstrap4-ribbon";

Also, you need to import the styling file:

import  "react-bootstrap4-ribbon/dist/react-bootstrap-ribbon.css";

Components

Ribbon

Main container. Provides responsiveness to it. When in small screens, shows a combobox containing the titles from all groups it has in it.

RibbonGroup

A group maintains RibbonGroupItems together. Aligns items by using flex row. It has the following properties:

• title: appears on the group's footer (and also on the ribbon's combobox, in small screens);
• colClass: you can pass Bootstrap responsive col classes to this property, to customize how much space the group will take. The default is col, which means the group will take all the space available in all screen sizes.

RibbonGroupItem

A group item is where you put your buttons. It has a single property:

• direction: Determine which flex orientation your group buttons will follow (row | column). Defaults to row.

RibbonButton

A Bootstrap light block button. Has a title and an icon, that you can import from the package and pass to it as children or by compounding them into the button (as shown in Usage).

RibbonButtonTitle | RibbonButtonIcon

Names are self-describing. Put these inside the button. Both have the following boolean properties, which also are self-describing:

• small | inline
