How to use walker to custom wp_nav_menu output in Wordpress?

Question

I want to set the format of wp_nav_menu as bootstrap. Here's bootstrap's code:

<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
    <li class="active"><a href="#">Link <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
    <li class="dropdown">
      <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-expanded="false">Dropdown <span class="caret"></span></a>
      <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
        <li><a href="#">Action</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Another action</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Something else here</a></li>
        <li class="divider"></li>
        <li><a href="#">Separated link</a></li>
        <li class="divider"></li>
        <li><a href="#">One more separated link</a></li>
      </ul>
    </li>
  </ul>

I think the key points are:

When the li item has sub menu,add class "dropdown";
This "a" child of this li item should have attribute (class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-expanded="false")
The sub menu ul item should have class "dropdown-menu"

I know I must use Walker to solve this, but I can't understand how to do.Now I can use the code below to add class to sub menu ul item:

function start_lvl(&$output, $depth) {
$indent = str_repeat("\t", $depth);
$output .= "\n$indent<ul class=\"dropdown-menu\">\n"; }

What else I can do? Thank you!

I have solved the problem by using the walker file from the internet. Search "wp-bootstrap-navwalker-master" for the walker file.
