How do I install Navbar With Children?

Run npx shadcn@latest add @aceternity/navbar-with-children in your terminal. Before installing, add the Aceternity Pro registry to your components.json and set your API token as the ACETERNITY_PRO_TOKEN environment variable. The CLI automatically installs all required dependencies including Tailwind CSS plugins and Framer Motion.

Is Navbar With Children responsive and accessible?

Can I customize the colors, fonts, and layout?

Everything is built with Tailwind CSS utility classes and Framer Motion animations. You can change colors, spacing, typography, border radius, shadows, and animation timing directly in the JSX — no separate CSS files to manage. The component uses your project's Tailwind theme, so it automatically adapts to your design system.

What frameworks does this work with?

Navbar With Children is built for React and Next.js (App Router and Pages Router). It requires Tailwind CSS v4 and Framer Motion. It works with any React-based framework including Remix, Gatsby, and Vite — just ensure Tailwind CSS and Framer Motion are configured in your project.

Navbar With Children

A navbar with dropdown menus that reveal on hover. Dropdowns can contain links, product cards with images, or nested navigation.

DevStudio

Nav items that have children display a chevron icon. Hovering reveals a dropdown panel using AnimatePresence with perspective transforms. The dropdown animates from above with opacity and rotateX effects.

Dropdowns can contain simple link lists or ProductItem components with images, titles, and descriptions. The Products dropdown uses a two-column grid layout for visual product cards.

Active state is tracked to ensure only one dropdown shows at a time. Leaving the menu area closes all dropdowns. The background uses a blur-md backdrop filter for a glassmorphism effect.

The mobile version shows a hamburger menu that reveals a full list of all items including children. Works well for product sites, documentation, or apps with multiple feature categories to showcase.
