Creating a Responsive Navbar in React/Next.js with Material-UI that hide on scroll
Sufian Mustafa
2023-11-09
Welcome to our step-by-step guide on creating a responsive navbar using React and Next.js, enriched with the elegance of Material-UI. A well-designed navbar is an essential part of any web application, providing users with easy access to different sections of your website. In this blog post, we will walk you through the process of building a responsive navbar that works seamlessly on both desktop and mobile devices.
Please note that:
This navigation bar is a very useful tool for web developers. It has three important features that make it different from other navigation bars. First, it offers a smooth scroll feature that hides the navbar when you scroll down and reveals it with style when you scroll up. Second, it’s super adaptable — it works seamlessly on big screens, small screens, and everything in between. Finally, it lets you showcase your brand with a logo and add a personal touch with your picture, making your website not only functional but also uniquely you. It’s the perfect professional touch for your web project.
Prerequisites
Before we dive into the code, make sure you have the following tools and libraries installed:
Material-UI: Material-UI is a popular React UI framework that provides a wide range of components to create modern, responsive designs. You can install it with the following command:
1
npm install @mui/material @mui/icons-material
Step 1: Importing Required Components and Libraries
We’ll begin by importing the necessary components and libraries that we’ll use to build our navbar. Here’s a list of the key components we’ll be working with:

import React from "react";
import Link from "next/link"; // Import the Link component from Next.js
import AppBar from "@mui/material/AppBar";
import Box from "@mui/material/Box";
import Toolbar from "@mui/material/Toolbar";
import IconButton from "@mui/material/IconButton";
import Typography from "@mui/material/Typography";
import MenuIcon from "@mui/icons-material/Menu";
import Container from "@mui/material/Container";
import Avatar from "@mui/material/Avatar";
import Tooltip from "@mui/material/Tooltip";
import { Tabs, Tab, useMediaQuery, useTheme } from "@mui/material";
import InfoIcon from "@mui/icons-material/Info";
import ManageAccountsIcon from "@mui/icons-material/ManageAccounts";
import TimelineIcon from "@mui/icons-material/Timeline";
import AddReactionIcon from "@mui/icons-material/AddReaction";
import ContactMailIcon from "@mui/icons-material/ContactMail";
import {
List,
ListItemButton,
ListItemIcon,
ListItemText,
Menu,
} from "@mui/material";
import { Home } from "@mui/icons-material";
import Slide from "@mui/material/Slide"; // Import the Slide component from Material-UI
import useScrollTrigger from "@mui/material/useScrollTrigger"; // Import the useScrollTrigger hook
import CssBaseline from "@mui/material/CssBaseline";
import myProfilePic from "./sufi.webp";
import logo from "./logo.webp";
import Image from "next/image";If you are building it on Nextjs, then don’t forget to import "use-client" on the top of your code
Step 2: Creating a HideOnScroll Component
To achieve a smooth scrolling effect where the navbar disappears when scrolling down and reappears when scrolling up, we’ll create a custom HideOnScroll component. This component uses the Slide component from Material-UI.

function HideOnScroll(props) {
const { children } = props;
const trigger = useScrollTrigger();
return (
<Slide appear={false} direction="down" in={!trigger}>
{children}
</Slide>
);
}
