Example Explained
Add data-bs-spy="scroll" to the element that should be used as the
scrollable
area (often this is the <body> element).
Then add the data-bs-target attribute with a value of the id or the class
name
of the navigation bar (.navbar). This is to make sure that the navbar
is connected with the scrollable area.
Note that scrollable elements must match the ID of the links inside the navbar's
list items
(<div id="section1"> matches <a href="#section1">).
The optional data-bs-offset attribute specifies the number of pixels to
offset
from top when calculating the position of scroll. This is useful when you feel
that the links inside the navbar changes the active state too soon or too early
when jumping to the scrollable elements. Default is 10 pixels.
Requires relative positioning: The element with data-bs-spy="scroll" requires the CSS position property, with a value of "relative" to work properly.
