Unmarked Navbar links, pushing it to the right in Bootstrap 4?

Question

I try to focus on my navigation links, but when I make my brand logo, it pushes it to the right, so it does not center. Heres my html ...

<nav class="navbar navbar-toggleable-md navbar-light main-nav">
  <button class="navbar-toggler navbar-toggler-right" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarSupportedContent" aria-controls="navbarSupportedContent" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
    <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
  </button>
  <a class="navbar-brand" href="index.html">Brand Name</a>

  <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarSupportedContent">
    <ul class="navbar-nav mx-auto clearfix">
      <li class="nav-item active">
        <a class="nav-link" href="index.html">Home <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>
      </li>
      <li class="nav-item">
        <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
      </li>
      <li class="nav-item">
        <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
      </li>
    </ul>

  </div>
</nav> 

How can I stop the brand logo by affecting the position of my navigation links.

Answer 1

This is due to the fact that adjacent flexbox positions are relative to each other.

One option is to use the flexbox utils utility and the full-width fill element on the right. The navigation mark is also set to full width using the w-100util class .

<nav class="navbar navbar-toggleable navbar-inverse bg-primary justify-content-center">
    <button class="navbar-toggler navbar-toggler-right" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarCenter">
        <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
    </button>
    <a href class="navbar-brand d-flex w-100 mr-0">Brand is Wider Name</a>
    <div class="navbar-collapse collapse" id="navbarCenter">
        <ul class="navbar-nav mx-auto text-center">
            <li class="nav-item">
                <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
            </li>
            <li class="nav-item">
                <a class="nav-link" href="#">Center</a>
            </li>
            <li class="nav-item">
                <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
            </li>
        </ul>
    </div>
    <div class="d-flex w-100"> </div>
</nav>
