How to build a responsive nav menu (navbar) with Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js. Making our navbars responsive can be an annoying task. Luckily Tailwind CSS and Alpine js make it super easy!

First we create our html markup and add in some Tailwind classes to make it look nice. In this video I will make both a mobile nav menu and a desktop nav menu. These different menu's are displayed depending on the screen size - this is done by conditionally applying Tailwind classes at different break points, using Tailwind's amazing responsive utilities. In our example we make use of the "sm:" utility. Meaning that classes after the colon when "sm:" is used, are applied on screens 640px and up.

We use Alpine.js to conditionally show elements based on the value of our "open" property. Alpine also allows us to toggle the value of "open" between true and false.

If you are looking to create a responsive nav menu, using Alpine and Tailwind is a great way to achieve this!
