NestedNavList Component

Defining the Data

The data for the navigation list is defined using the NavData interface. Here is an example:

export interface NavData {
  displayName: string;
  iconType?: 'font' | 'svg';
  iconName?: string;
  fontSet?: string;
  svgUrl?: string;
  route?: string;
  url?: string;
  children?: NavData[];
  expanded?: boolean;
  keepQueryParams?: boolean;
  type?: 'divider';
}

Usage of Different Types of Icons

You can use Material, Font, and SVG icons in the navigation list. Here is an example of how to define the data with different types of icons:

navData: NavData[] = [
  {
    displayName: 'Home',
    iconType: 'font',
    iconName: 'fa-house',
    fontSet: 'fa',
    route: 'home',
  },
  {
    displayName: 'Settings',
    iconName: 'settings',
    children: [
      {
        displayName: 'Profile',
        iconName: 'person',
        route: 'profile',
      },
      {
        displayName: 'Notifications',
        iconName: 'notifications',
        keepQueryParams: true,
        route: 'notifications',
      },
    ],
  },
  {
    type: 'divider',
  },
  {
    displayName: 'Repo',
    iconType: 'svg',
    svgUrl: 'github.svg',
    url: 'https://github.com'
  },
];

How to Register Font for Material Icon

To register a font for Material Icon, you can use the MatIconRegistry service as introduced in Material documentation. Here is an example:

import { MatIconRegistry } from '@angular/material/icon';

...
export class AppComponent {
  constructor(matIconRegistry: MatIconRegistry) {
    matIconRegistry.registerFontClassAlias('fontawesome', 'fa');
  }
  ...
}

Divider

You can add a divider in the navigation list by setting the type property to divider in the NavData object. Here is an example:

{
  type: 'divider',
}

Usage

To use the NestedNavListComponent, you need to import it in your Angular module or standalone component. Here is an example:

In a Module

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { NestedNavListComponent } from '@tony21921/ngx-nested-nav-list';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  imports: [BrowserModule, NestedNavListComponent],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent],
})
export class AppModule {}

In a Standalone Component

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { NestedNavListComponent } from '@tony21921/ngx-nested-nav-list';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [NestedNavListComponent],
  template: ` <ngx-nested-nav-list [navData]="navData"></ngx-nested-nav-list> `,
})
export class AppComponent {
  navData = [
    // your nav data here
  ];
}
