A Responsive Navigation Bar with collapsible elements is a crucial component of modern web design, allowing users to navigate seamlessly across various screen sizes. In this article, we’ll explore how to implement such a navigation bar using Tailwind CSS, a utility-first CSS framework that enables rapid development and easy customization.
