Bootstrap Flex middle and end

Question

I'm pulling my hair out trying to center my nav items and have my button at the end. I managed to get the button to the end but cannot figure out how to center the items+brand. Any help would be appreciated!

I dont think theres such a thing as flex middle, to position your flex you call it justify-content:center;. Are you talking about your nav-item to center it? You are talking about "items+brand" but i dont see it — Crystal, Apr 30 '22 at 18:36

Well you can't do such thing inside of a single flex (it might be possible using margin auto but I'm not sure about it) but using two nested flex boxes can help you

here in this code I used the div.collapse as first flexbox and ul.navbar-nav as the second one

<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-light bg-light">
<div class="container-fluid">
    <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Navbar</a>
    <button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#navbarSupportedContent" aria-controls="navbarSupportedContent" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
        <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
    </button>
    <div class="collapse justify-content-between navbar-collapse" id="navbarSupportedContent">
        <ul class="navbar-nav w-100 justify-content-center mb-2 mb-lg-0">
            <li class="nav-item">
                <a class="nav-link active" aria-current="page" href="#">Services</a>
            </li>

            <li class="nav-item">
                <a class="nav-link" aria-current="page" href="#">The team</a>
            </li>

            <li class="nav-item">
                <a class="nav-link" aria-current="page" href="#">Contact Us</a>
            </li>
        </ul>
        <div class="d-flex">
            <button class="btn btn-outline-success" type="submit">Login</button>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Here is a live demonstration of how it works, let me know if you meant something else
