Setup

Create a new react app

Cleanup

Delete everything in the app div in App.js.

Delete everything in App.css and add this basic styling-
Create a new file Header.js in the src folder.
I am creating a very simple navbar-
Now we need to create a Header.css file for our stylings. I am going to add very basic stylings, feel free to style it more as per your app.
Render the Header In App.js add the header and import it-
img

Adding dummy section

In App.js I am going to add a dummy section with some text, to see the navbar properly.
This will give us some text below our navbar like this-
img
Now let's add some stylings to the h2 tag and the landing page div
This styles will center the text and give it an aqua background with a y-axis scroll as it is more than 100vh.

Create a state to hold if we need to change the background or not.
Setting the state based on scroll-
You might need to change the value for scrollY based on your app needs.
This will give you a glassmorphic background on scrolling.
I am also going to increase the padding a bit in the animated header-
Make the animation smoother In .header I will add one more property-
I hope you could also make your header beautiful and better like this. See ya in the next one ✌️
