I've written a sidebar using Bootstap 5 which is placed on my _Layout view. The issue I'm having is when I load a new page like a users view, initialy it looks great, until I resize my screen and then the content on the users view slides behind the sidebar. I've tried placing the sidebar in a new column and row, etc but nothing I do seems to fix this. Below is my sidebar code, any help on this issue will be greatly appreciated.
<!-- Side Nav-->
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<nav class="sidebar card py-2 mb-4 col-2 float-start vh-100 rounded-0 position-fixed" style="background-color: rgb(95,131,183);

How it looks like in smaller screen:
How it looks in bigger screen:
As you can see the admin is off the screen i need the navbar to stay static to the changes. My css is for sure bad as i said im learning.
This is not the proper way of using navbar of bootstrap.
Check out this method in which the use of css is minimal, and mosly used boostrap class and components
.navbar-logo {
width: 140px;
}
.dropdown-menu{
background-color: #f1f1f1;
}
.dropdown-item > i ,.nav-link > i{margin-right:8px;}
.nav-link{white-space:nowrap}

I fixed my code by using this example in W3SCHOOLS. Code Example
I have a navbar with center aligned menu items, of which some are dropdown-menus. The navbar and dropdown menu are 100% width but I would like the drop-down menu to be say 60% width and still centre aligned.
HTML:
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12">
<nav class="navbar fixed-top navbar-expand-lg navbar-dark" style="background-color: #8B0000;">
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarSupportedContent2" aria-controls="navbarSupportedContent2" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarSupportedContent2">
<ul class="navbar-nav mx-auto">
<li class="nav-item dropdown megamenu-li">
<a href="#" class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" aria-haspopup="true" id="navitem-1" data-toggle="dropdown">
Drop down
</a>
<div class="dropdown-menu megamenu" aria-labelledby="navitem-1">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6 col-lg-3">
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Item</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Item</a>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6 col-lg-3">
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Item</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Item</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a href="#" class="nav-link">
Item
</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a href="#" class="nav-link">
Item
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS :
.megamenu-li {
position: static;
}
.megamenu {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
left: 0;
right: 0;
padding: 15px;
}
Please see demo here: https://jsfiddle.net/stackoverflow123/53fn2kop/
Reducing the .megamenu width reduces the downdown-menu panel as expected, but it stops it being centrally aligned.
Thank you in advance
desired layout
I managed to approach your goal (if I understood right) applying mainly the next style to the dropdown-menu, but only on the specific bootstrap break-point (LG), and removing all of your style:
.custom-dropdown {
position: fixed !important;
width: 60vw;
left: 20vw !important;
top: 45px !important;
}
Also, I removed the outer row and col-12 and replaced the container by container-fluid, and make some minor changes to the items on the dropdown-menu so they look centered. You can check it below:
#media (min-width: 992px)
{
.custom-dropdown {
position: fixed !important;
width: 60vw;
left: 20vw !important;
top: 45px !important;
}
}

Building off of #Shidersz approach, I wanted a full-width centered nav bar with columns. I used bootstrap 4 and the added a custom-dropdown class. This requires the navbar to be fixed-top or scrolling doesn't have the expected behavior.
.custom-dropdown {
position: fixed !important;
width: 100vw;
left: 0vw !important;
top: 50px !important;
}

I'm trying to align the icon vertically centered to the text in the nav bar items.
I tried using align-middle to the nav-link since both text and image are there, but did not work.
Align-top to the img only moves the element to the top, but does not work when doing align-middle to the img.
Finally, I only achieved what I wanted adding margin-bottom to the img, but do not want to use that, What is wrong with align-middle?
<ul class="navbar-nav mx-auto w-100 ">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link align-middle" routerLink="/backoffice/jobs" routerLinkActive="active">
<img src="/assets/icons/tuerca/B Tuerca GRAY.svg" class="iconos" alt="tuerca">
<h4 class="d-inline">Test 1</h4>
</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link align/middle" routerLink="/backoffice/contractors" routerLinkActive="active" style="display:block">
<img src="/assets/icons/B_Toolbox_Gray.svg" class="iconos" alt="toolbox">
<h4 class="d-inline">Test 2</h4>
</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link align-middle" routerLink="/backoffice/jobs" routerLinkActive="active">
<img src="/assets/icons/B_Hammer_Gray.svg" class="iconos " alt="hammer">
<h4 class="d-inline">test 3</h4>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
A part of the problem is that in Bootstrap 4 <h4> elements have a bottom margin defined by default. You can eliminate that by setting .my-0 on them.
Then to make the icon and the text vertically aligned, use .d-flex .align-items-center on the .nav-link elements. This way you can remove .d-inline from <h4> as well.
<ul class="navbar-nav mx-auto w-100 ">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link d-flex align-items-center" routerLink="/backoffice/jobs" routerLinkActive="active">
<img src="/assets/icons/tuerca/B Tuerca GRAY.svg" class="iconos" alt="tuerca">
<h4 class="my-0">Test 1</h4>

</li>

The nested "Dropdown2" menu item cann't be opened like its parent menu item called "Dropdown"
Add all bold content into your code.
<ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu" **onclick="event.stopPropagation();"**>
<li class="dropdown" **id="test"**>
Dropdown2 <span class="caret"></span>
Add this code into javascript.
$( "#test1" ).click(function() {
$(this).attr("aria-expanded", "true");
$('#test').addClass("open");
});
Reasons for your problem By default when you click inside dropdown it closes.
here we are adding classes dynamically to second dropdown list.
Create one more CSS file and define "Dropdown-submenu" class.
Apply this "Dropdown-submenu" class to your inner "LI" tag as:
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="dropdown">
Dropdown <span class="caret"></span>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
<li class="dropdown dropdown-submenu">
Dropdown2 <span class="caret"></span>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
<li ><a href="#" >Something</a>
</li>
<li>Another action
</li>
<li>Something else here
</li>
<li class="divider"></li>
<li>Separated link
</li>
</ul>
</li>
The CSS file Will define Dropdown-submenu as:
.dropdown-submenu {
position:relative; } .dropdown-submenu>.dropdown-menu {
top:0;
left:100%;
margin-top:-6px;
margin-left:-1px;
-webkit-border-radius:0 6px 6px 6px;
-moz-border-radius:0 6px 6px 6px;
border-radius:0 6px 6px 6px; } .dropdown-submenu:hover>.dropdown-menu {
display:block; } .dropdown-submenu>a:after {
display:block;
content:" ";
float:right;
width:0;
height:0;
border-color:transparent;
border-style:solid;
border-width:5px 0 5px 5px;
border-left-color:#333333;
margin-top:5px;
margin-right:-10px; } .dropdown-submenu:hover>a:after {
border-left-color: #999999; } .dropdown-submenu.pull-left {
float:none; } .dropdown-submenu.pull-left>.dropdown-menu {
left:-100%;
margin-left:10px;
-webkit-border-radius:6px 0 6px 6px;
-moz-border-radius:6px 0 6px 6px;
border-radius:6px 0 6px 6px; }
