Bootstrap 4 – navbar search form min width - css

How to make 100% width search form with min-width in Bootstrap 4 navbar?
My markup here: https://jsfiddle.net/bfsrjo23/
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-md navbar-light bg-faded">
Brand
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbar5">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="navbar-collapse collapse" id="navbar5">
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item active">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">LongLink1 <span class="sr-only">Home</span></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">LongLink2</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">LongLink3</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">LongLink4</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">LongLink5</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">LongLink6</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">LongLink7</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<form class="w-100 py-2">
<input type="text" class="form-control border" placeholder="Search...">
</form>
I put form outside collapse to make it always visible (laptop in 1st line, mobile in 2nd line). It's work fine exept Tablet mode (Viewport width around 880px), the search box too short. I want to add "min-width" and let form go in second line if size not pass.


Use css like this:
#yourformId > .input-group {
display: inline;
}


Just add class d-inline in nav, like this:
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-md navbar-light d-inline bg-faded">
Brand
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbar5">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="navbar-collapse collapse" id="navbar5">
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item active">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">LongLink1 <span class="sr-only">Home</span></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">LongLink2</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">LongLink3</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">LongLink4</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">LongLink5</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">LongLink6</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">LongLink7</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<form class="w-100 py-2">
<input type="text" class="form-control border" placeholder="Search...">
</form>


Found acceptable solution - key is remove flex-wrap:wrap from css, for example with #media(min-width:992px), search form must have "display:flex;flex-basis:100%" or "width:100%". This will move search in second line.

How to Fix bootstrap navigation toggle button in center

I have a problem in bootstrap 4 navigation, I want to set left Logo/Brand and center Navigation button and right login/My Account button, I have tried to solve this, but when I click navigation button on mobile it suddenly goes to the right, Please look at codeplay http://codeply.com/go/8FOVzFRkfM
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-md navbar-light" >
<div class="container"> <a class="navbar-brand text-primary" href="#">
<i class="fa d-inline fa-lg fa-stop-circle"></i>
<b> BRAND</b>
</a> <button class="navbar-toggler navbar-toggler-right border-0" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbar4">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbar4">
<ul class="navbar-nav ml-auto">
<li class="nav-item bg-white border-success"> <a class="nav-link" href="#">Features</a> </li>
<li class="nav-item"> <a class="nav-link" href="#">Pricing</a> </li>
<li class="nav-item"> <a class="nav-link" href="#">About</a> </li>
<li class="nav-item"> <a class="nav-link" href="#">FAQ</a> </li>
</ul>
</div>
<span> <a class="btn navbar-btn ml-md-2 btn-light bg-info">My Account</a></span>
</div>
</nav>

You just need to use on order-md-0 order-last the navbarcollapse so that it is positioned last on mobile screen widths (when the Navbar is collapsed)...
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse order-md-0 order-last" id="navbar4">
<ul class="navbar-nav ml-auto">
<li class="nav-item bg-white border-success"> <a class="nav-link" href="#">Features</a> </li>
<li class="nav-item"> <a class="nav-link" href="#">Pricing</a> </li>
<li class="nav-item"> <a class="nav-link" href="#">About</a> </li>
<li class="nav-item"> <a class="nav-link" href="#">FAQ</a> </li>
</ul>
</div>

Related: Bootstrap NavBar with left, center or right aligned items

The container inside the navbar is a flex having justify-content: space-between, Hence navbar-collpase which is initially hidden gets displayed on toggle gets pushed below.
Solution:
Making the navbar-collpase positioned absolute to the navbar will fix the problem.
Example:
#media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {
.navbar-collapse{
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
top: 56px; /*height of navbar in mobile*/
}
}

Expand navbar items to occupy full width

I need to have a navbar with elements to the right, and to the left.
I got this working but the items that are on the left (sign up, login to the left) are not positioned to the most left.
How can I achieve something similar to what this page has?

Bonus:
I'm trying to render a gliphycon icon as a nav item but it doesn't show in navbar. why?

Take a look at Bootstrap 4 documentation on navbars as you used some wrong class names. Check the rest for better understanding of bootstrap features. Bootstrap 4 is different in many ways from Bootstrap 3. You used some classes that don't work in new version. So again: check the docs :)
Remember that only 1 nav-item element should also have class active.
About the icons:
Bootstrap doesn’t include an icon library by default, but we have a handful of recommendations for you to choose from. While most icon sets include multiple file formats, we prefer SVG implementations for their improved accessibility and vector support.
Here I used FontAwsome

Bootstrap 4 - prevent links from breaking lines on navbar

When I have too many links in the navbar, when I start to zoom in, then the links start to break lines. I want them to stay the same line before they collapse.
In the snippet below(view full size), There are 6 links, and when you zoom in, there is a certain zoom where the links break lines (before the navbar collapses)
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.0/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarTogglerDemo02" aria-controls="navbarTogglerDemo02" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">

</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Navbar Link Number 6</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>

Use the text-nowrap utility class on the links...
https://www.codeply.com/go/tKwvJnDJ42
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-light fixed-top">
<div class="container">
<a class="navbar-brand mx-auto" href="#">
Logo
</a>
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarTogglerDemo02" aria-controls="navbarTogglerDemo02" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse text-right" id="navbarTogglerDemo02">
<ul class="navbar-nav ml-auto mt-2 mt-lg-0">
<li class="nav-item main-nav">
<a class="nav-link text-nowrap" href="#">Navbar Link Number 1</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link text-nowrap" href="#">Navbar Link Number 2</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link text-nowrap" href="#">Navbar Link Number 3</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link text-nowrap" href="#">Navbar Link Number 4</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link text-nowrap" href="#">Navbar Link Number 5</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link text-nowrap" href="#">Navbar Link Number 6</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>

For anyone coming from Google, don't use as mentioned in another solution, that makes content unmanageable and uses markup to dictate presentation.
You can mimic what Bootstrap does with an easy class such as;
.text-nowrap {
white-space: nowrap !important;
}
As its a utility class, it is ok to use !important.
Hope that helps

You could hide overflown links if the users who zoom in are few, better than wrapping menu to 2 lines:
<style>
#media (min-width: 1201px) {
.navbar-nav {
overflow: hidden !important;
max-height: 50px;
}
}
</style>

Bootstrap 4 navbar with 2 rows

I have created a navbar with Bootstrap 4 alpha 6 that has a large brand/icon on the left, and 2 navbar-nav's with links to the right of the icon. One nav has links, and the other nav has icons. It's working exactly as I want except for one thing.
I'd like the 2 navbars to appear in 2 separate rows to the right of the icon. Like this:
------------------------------------------------------
link link link link
brand-icon -------------------------------------------
icon icon icon
------------------------------------------------------
The mobile version will still show the links vertically as it does now. I've tried several different things with flexbox, but can't get it to work.
Here is my code:
<nav class="navbar navbar-toggleable-md navbar-inverse bg-inverse">
<div class="container">
<button class="navbar-toggler navbar-toggler-right align-self-center mt-3" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarCollapse">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<h1 class="py-2 ml-lg-2 mx-3"><i class="fa fa-envelope-open-o fa-lg" aria-hidden="true"></i></h1>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse ml-lg-0 ml-3" id="navbarCollapse">
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item active">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Home</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Product</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Shop</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">About</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Events</a>
</li>
</ul>
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link pr-3" href="#"><i class="fa fa-facebook"></i></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link pr-3" href="#"><i class="fa fa-instagram"></i></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link pr-3" href="#"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i></a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>

You can use the flex-column flexbox utility class to stack the 2 navs vertically next to the icon. This sets flex-direction: column on the navbar-collapse div so that it's child elements stack vertically.
<nav class="navbar navbar-toggleable-md navbar-inverse bg-inverse">
<div class="container">
<button class="navbar-toggler navbar-toggler-right align-self-center mt-3" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarCollapse">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<h1 class="py-2 ml-lg-2 mx-3"><i class="fa fa-envelope-o fa-lg mt-2" aria-hidden="true"></i></h1>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse flex-column ml-lg-0 ml-3" id="navbarCollapse">
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item active">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Home</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Product</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Shop</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">About</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Events</a>
</li>
</ul>
<ul class="navbar-nav flex-row mb-2">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link py-1 pr-3" href="#"><i class="fa fa-facebook"></i></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link py-1 pr-3" href="#"><i class="fa fa-instagram"></i></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link py-1 pr-3" href="#"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i></a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>

Bootstrap align navbar items to the right

How do I align a navbar item to right?
I want to have the login and register to the right.
But everything I try does not seem to work.
This is what I have tried so far:
<div> around the <ul> with the atribute: style="float: right"
<div> around the <ul> with the atribute: style="text-align: right"
tried those two things on the <li> tags
tried all those things again with !important added to the end
changed nav-item to nav-right in the <li>
added a pull-sm-right class to the <li>
added a align-content-end class to the <li>
This is my code:
<div id="app" class="container">
<nav class="navbar navbar-toggleable-md navbar-light bg-faded">
<button class="navbar-toggler navbar-toggler-right" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarNavDropdown" aria-controls="navbarNavDropdown" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Navbar</a>
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item active">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Home <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Features</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Pricingg</a>
</li>
</ul>
<ul class="navbar-nav " >
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="{{ url('/login') }}">Login</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="{{ url('/register') }}">Register</a>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
#yield('content')
</div>

Bootstrap 5 (update 2021)
In Bootstrap 5 (see this question), ml-auto has been replaced with ms-auto to represent start instead of left. Since the Navbar is still based on flexbox, auto margins OR flexbox utility classes are still used to align Navbar content.
For example, use me-auto...
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-light bg-light">
<div class="container-fluid">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Brand</a>
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#navbarContent" aria-controls="navbarSupportedContent" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarContent">
<ul class="navbar-nav me-auto mb-2 mb-lg-0">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link active" href="#">Home</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
</li>
</ul>
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item dropdown">
<a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="#" id="navbarDropdown" role="button" data-bs-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false"> Menu </a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-end" aria-labelledby="navbarDropdown">
<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a></li>
<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
Bootstrap 5 right align Navbar content
Bootstrap 4 (original answer)
Bootstrap has many different ways to align navbar items. float-right won't work because the navbar is now flexbox.
You can use mr-auto for auto right margin on the 1st (left) navbar-nav.
Alternatively, ml-auto could be used on the 2nd (right) navbar-nav , or if you just have a single navbar-nav.
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-md navbar-light bg-light">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Navbar</a>
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarNav">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarNav">
<ul class="navbar-nav mr-auto">
<li class="nav-item active">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Home <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Features</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Pricing</a>
</li>
</ul>
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Login</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Register</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
https://codeply.com/go/P0G393rzfm
There are also flexbox utils. For example use justify-content-end on the collapse menu:
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-dark bg-dark">
<div class="container-fluid">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Brand</a>
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#navbarNav">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse justify-content-end" id="navbarNav">
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link active" aria-current="page" href="#">Contact</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Pricing</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Download</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
Or when you have 2 navbar-navs, use justify-content-between in navbar-collapse would work to even the space between the navbar-navs:
<div class="navbar-collapse collapse justify-content-between">
<ul class="navbar-nav mr-auto">
..
</ul>
<ul class="navbar-nav">
..
</ul>
</div>
Update for Bootstrap 4.0 and newer
As of Bootstrap 4 beta, ml-auto will still work to push items to the right. Just be aware the the navbar-toggleable- classes have changed to navbar-expand-*
Updated navbar right for Bootstrap 4
Another frequent Bootstrap 4 Navbar right alignment scenario includes a button on the right that remains outside the mobile collapse nav so that it is always shown at all widths.
Right align button that is always visible
Related: Bootstrap NavBar with left, center or right aligned items

In my case, I wanted just one set of navigation buttons / options and found that this will work:
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse justify-content-end" id="navbarCollapse">
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Sign Out</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
So, you will add justify-content-end to the div and omit mr-auto on the list.
Here is a working example.

For those who is still struggling with this issue in BS4 simply try below code -
<ul class="navbar-nav ml-auto">

On Bootstrap 4
If you want to align brand to your left and all the navbar-items to right, change the default mr-auto to ml-auto
<ul class="navbar-nav ml-auto">

On Bootsrap 4.0.0-beta.2, none of the answers listed here worked for me. Finally, the Bootstrap site gave me the solution, not via its doc but via its page source code...
Getbootstrap.com align their right navbar-nav to the right with the help of the following class: ml-md-auto.

Use this code to move items to the right.
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse justify-content-end">

Use ml-auto instead of mr-auto after applying nav justify-content-end to the ul

Just add mr-auto class at ul:
<ul class="nav navbar-nav mr-auto">
If you have menu list in both side you can do something like this:
<ul class="navbar-nav mr-auto">
<li class="nav-item active">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Home <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></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>
<ul class="navbar-nav ml-auto">
<li class="nav-item active">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">left 1</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">left 2</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">left disable</a>
</li>
</ul>

If you want Home, Features and Pricing on left immediately after your nav-brand, and then login and register on right then wrap the two lists in <div> and use .justify-content-between:
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse justify-content-between">
<ul>....</ul>
<ul>...</ul>
</div>

In bootstrap v4.3 just add ml-auto in <ul class="navbar-nav">
Ex:<ul class="navbar-nav ml-auto">

use the flex-row-reverse class
<nav class="navbar navbar-toggleable-md navbar-light">
<div class="container">
<button class="navbar-toggler navbar-toggler-right" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarNavAltMarkup" aria-controls="navbarNavAltMarkup" aria-expanded="false"
aria-label="Toggle navigation">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">
<i class="fa fa-hospital-o fa-2x" aria-hidden="true"></i>
</a>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse flex-row-reverse" id="navbarNavAltMarkup">
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li><a class="nav-item nav-link active" href="#" style="background-color:#666">Home <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a</li>
<li><a class="nav-item nav-link" href="#">Doctors</a></li>
<li><a class="nav-item nav-link" href="#">Specialists</a></li>
<li><a class="nav-item nav-link" href="#">About</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>

It's little change in boostrap 4.
To align navbar to right side, you've to make only two changes.
they are:
in navbar-nav class add w-100 as navbar-nav w-100 to make width as 100
in nav-item dropdown class add ml-auto as nav-item dropdown ml-auto to make margin left as auto.

For bootstrap 4.3.1, I was using nav-pills and nothing worked for me except this:
<ul class="nav nav-pills justify-content-end ml-auto">
<li ....</li>
</ul>

In my case Bootstrap v5, I wanted just one set of navigation options to the right side:
just add "ms-auto" in ul.
And it helped me.
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarCollapse">
<ul class="navbar-nav ms-auto mb-2 mb-md-0">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link " aria-current="page" href="index.php">Home</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link " href="services.php" tabindex="-1" aria-disabled="true">Services</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="aboutus.php">About Us</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="Portfolio.php">Portfolio</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>

The above answers surprisingly didn't work for me so here is my approach. To align the login and register navigation bar items to the right you can make use of either of these two ways:
pull-right:
Modify the unordered list tag for login and register as
<ul class="navbar-nav pull-right">
navbar-right:
Modify the unordered list tag for login and register as
<ul class="navbar-nav navbar-right">

I am running Angular 4 (v.4.0.0) and ng-bootstrap (Bootstrap 4). This code won't all be relevant but hoping people can pick and choose what works. It took me sometime to find a solution to get my items to justify right, collapse properly and to implement a dropdown off my google (using OAuth) profile picture.
<div id="header" class="header">
<nav class="navbar navbar-toggleable-sm navbar-inverse bg-faded fixed-top">
<button class="navbar-toggler navbar-toggler-right" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarSupportedContent"
aria-controls="navbarSupportedContent" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">
<img alt='Brand' src='../assets/images/logo-white.png' class='navbar-logo-img d-inline-block align-top '>
<span class="navbar-logo-text">Oncoscape</span>
</a>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse justify-content-end" id="navbarSupportedContent">
<ul class="navbar-nav float-left">
<a class="navbar-items nav-item nav-link active " *ngIf='authenticated' (click)='goDashboard()'>
<span class="fa fa-dashboard"></span>Dashboard
</a>
<a class="nav-item nav-link navbar-items active" href="http://resources.sttrcancer.org/oncoscape-contact">
<span class="fa fa-comments"></span>Feedback
</a>
<li class="nav-item dropdown">
<a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" id="navbarDropdownMenuLink" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
<img *ngIf='user && authenticated' class="navbar-pic" src={{user.thumbnail}} alt="Smiley face">
</a>
<div *ngIf='user && authenticated' class="dropdown-menu " aria-labelledby="navbarDropdownMenuLink">
<a class="dropdown-item" (click)="toProfile()">Account</a>
<div class="dropdown-item">
<app-login></app-login>
</div>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
</div>
<router-outlet></router-outlet>

For Bootstrap 4 beta, sample navbar with elements aligned to the right side is:
<div id="app" class="container">
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-md navbar-light bg-faded">
<button class="navbar-toggler navbar-toggler-right" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarNavDropdown" aria-controls="navbarNavDropdown" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Navbar</a>
<ul class="navbar-nav mr-auto">
<li class="nav-item active">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Home <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Features</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Pricingg</a>
</li>
</ul>
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="{{ url('/login') }}">Login</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="{{ url('/register') }}">Register</a>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</div>

Using the bootstrap flex box helps
us to control the placement and alignment of your navigation element.
for the problem above adding mr-auto is a better solution to it .
<div id="app" class="container">
<nav class="navbar navbar-toggleable-md navbar-light bg-faded">
<button class="navbar-toggler navbar-toggler-right" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarNavDropdown" aria-controls="navbarNavDropdown" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Navbar</a>
<ul class="navbar-nav mr-auto">
<li class="nav-item active">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Home <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Features</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Pricingg</a>
</li>
</ul>
<ul class="navbar-nav " >
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="{{ url('/login') }}">Login</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="{{ url('/register') }}">Register</a>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
#yield('content')
</div>
other placement may include
fixed- top
fixed bottom
sticky-top

The working example for BS v4.0.0-beta.2:
<body>
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-md navbar-dark bg-dark">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Navbar</a>
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarNavDropdown" aria-controls="navbarNavDropdown" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarNavDropdown">
<ul class="navbar-nav mr-auto">
<li class="nav-item active">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Home <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Features</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Pricingg</a>
</li>
</ul>
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Login</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Register</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
<div class="container-fluid">
container content
</div>
<!-- Optional JavaScript -->
<!-- jQuery first, then Popper.js, then Bootstrap JS -->
<script src="node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.slim.min.js"></script>
<script src="node_modules/popper.js/dist/umd/popper.min.js"></script>
<script src="node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</body>

If all above fails, I added 100% width to the navbar class in CSS. Until then mr auto wasn't working for me on this project using 4.1.

but the nav item you want to align to right in alone
put it outside the of main nav but in the same , like that:
<ul class="navbar-nav justify-content-end ms-auto">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#" aria-expanded="false">Contact support</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item ">
<a class="nav-link" href="#" aria-expanded="false">Log in</a>
</li>
</ul>
use justify-content-end ms-auto

Find the 69 line in the verndor-prefixes.less and write it following:
.panel {
margin-bottom: 20px;
height: 100px;
background-color: #fff;
border: 1px solid transparent;
border-radius: 4px;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.05);
box-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.05);
}

Just copied this from one of the getbootstrap pages for the released version 4 which worked much better than the above
<div class="d-none d-xl-block col-xl-2 bd-toc float-md-right">
<ul class="section-nav">
<li class="toc-entry toc-h2">Overview</li>
<li class="toc-entry toc-h2">Classes</li>
<li class="toc-entry toc-h2">Mixins</li>
<li class="toc-entry toc-h2">Responsive</li>
</ul>
</div>

I'm new to stack overflow and new to front end development. This is what worked for me. So I did not want list items to be displayed.
.hidden {
display:none;
}
#loginButton{
margin-right:2px;
}
<nav class="navbar navbar-toggleable-md navbar-light bg-faded fixed-top">
<button class="navbar-toggler navbar-toggler-right" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarSupportedContent" aria-controls="navbarSupportedContent" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">NavBar</a>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarSupportedContent">
<ul class="navbar-nav mr-auto">
<li class="nav-item active hidden">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Home <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item hidden">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item hidden">
<a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
</li>
</ul>
<form class="form-inline my-2 my-lg-0">
<button class="btn btn-outline-success my-2 my-sm-0" type="submit" id="loginButton">Log In</button>
<button class="btn btn-outline-success my-2 my-sm-0" type="submit">Register</button>
</form>
</div>
