Using jQuery to modify bootstsrap nav

I'm using bootstrap to build a basic navigation and when i use jQuery to modify the css on hover it targets every link item as a group. The only solution i can find is to create a unique class or ID for each and create a function for each individual link item. Is there a better way? question

$(document).ready(function(){

$('.nav-item a').mouseenter(function(){
     $('.nav-item a').css('color','red');
})
$('.nav-item a').mouseleave(function(){
     $('.nav-item a').css('color','black');
})

});

Hey!

I believe that your selector 

$('.nav-item a')

might be returning an array that contains all links. I can't be sure since I don't know how you've structured your markup. Try storing your selection in a variable and then use a for loop to iterate through the array items (if it really is an array).

Hope this helps... somehow.
