React Mega Menu - Flowbite

Use the mega menu component as a full-width dropdown inside the navbar to show a list of menu items based on multiple sizes, variants, and styles.

The mega menu component is a full-width dropdown that can be triggered by clicking on the menu item and it shows a list of links that you can use to navigate through the pages on a website.

To start using the mega menu component you need to import it from flowbite-react:

import { MegaMenu } from "flowbite-react";

Default mega menu#

Use this example to show a list of links aligned on three columns inside the mega menu dropdown.
