Build a Reusable Mega Navbar - Step 1

JavaScript
1

Tell us what’s happening:

In this workshop, you will practice working with React functional components by building a reusable navbar.

All the CSS have been provided for you so you can focus on creating the navbar.

Start by defining a Navbar functional component that returns a pair of round parentheses. In the next step, you will start to build out the component using JSX.

Make sure to use a named export when exporting the component, as it will be imported into the HTML file.
