I am using BootStrap 4 and trying to make a nav-item have the same height as my navbar so that when I add background-color to it it looks like a stripe through the nav-bar.

        </button>
        <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarResponsive">
            <ul class="navbar-nav ml-auto mx-auto">
                <li class="nav-item active">
                    <a class="nav-link" href="#">Home
                    </a>
                </li>
                <li class="nav-item">
                    <a class="nav-link" href="#">About</a>
                </li>
            </ul>
        </div>
    </div>
</nav>




</body>
</html>

What I have tried:

Initially the item was centered and left space on top and below. I added negative margin to get it up against the top but the same didn't work when I tried to add "margin-bottom"

I then tried fixing the height of the navbar but when I did that and clicked on the toggle to bring down the navbar items they didn't show up because the fixed height prevented it from appearing.
