Answer 1

If you want to make your navigation look something like as shown in below screen shot:

Then you would need to apply the class container-fluid on Nav and class ml-auto on the Nav.Item on the navigation item which you wish to right align.

Below is the code:

<Navbar bg="dark" variant="dark">
  <Nav className="container-fluid">
    <Nav.Item>
      <Navbar.Brand as={Link} to="/">Demo App</Navbar.Brand>
    </Nav.Item>
    <Nav.Item>
      <Nav.Link as={Link} to="/user-list">User List</Nav.Link>
    </Nav.Item>
    <Nav.Item>
      <Nav.Link onClick={handleClickUserLogOut}>Log Out</Nav.Link>
    </Nav.Item>
    <Nav.Item className="ml-auto">
      <Nav.Link>Hi fname lname!</Nav.Link>
    </Nav.Item>
  </Nav>
</Navbar>

    <Navbar.Toggle />
    <Navbar.Collapse>
        <Nav className="justify-content-end" style={{ width: "100%" }}>
            ...
        </Nav>
    </Navbar.Collapse>
</Navbar>

The best and easiest approach which works is to add following class to the NAV node like following:

<Nav className="ml-auto">

Unfortunately adding "pullRight" wasn't the solution and it won't work.

Answer 6

The below code solved my issue of alignment.

var NavMenu = React.createClass({
  render: function(){
    var links = this.props.links.reduce(function(acc, current){      
      current.dropdown ? acc.rightNav.push(current) : acc.leftNav.push(current);
      return acc;
    }, { leftNav: [], rightNav: [] });
    return (
      <div>
        <ul className="nav navbar-nav">
          {links.leftNav.map( function(link) {
            return <NavLink key={link.text} linkTo={link.linkTo} text={link.text} active={link.active} />
          })}
        </ul>
        {
          links.rightNav.length > 0 ?
            <ul className="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
              {
                links.rightNav.map( function(link) {
                  return <NavLinkDropdown key={link.text} links={link.links} text={link.text} active={link.active} />
                })
              }
            </ul> : false
        }
      </div>
    );
  }
});
