@visual-framework/vf-navigation v5.0.4

Navigation component

About

The vf-navigation component is a horizontal list of links to key pages of the website.

Usage

Global navigation variant

This variant of the vf-navigation is to be used as part of the vf-global-header to give a few 'quick links' that will be on every page.

Main navigation variant

This variant of the vf-navigation can be used to link to sections of the site, or part of the site the parent section.

This is typically placed below the vf-hero component but can be also found below the vf-global-header.

There should be only one use of vf-navigation--main on a page.

On this page navigation variant

The vfNavigationOnThisPage JavaScript adds a quality-of-life improvement by automatically activating sections as the user scrolls them into view on the page. This sticky element allows users to quickly jump between sections on longer pages.

• There should be only one use of vf-navigation--on-this-page on a page.
• Anchor targets need an element id: id="container-1". This can be added to any item on the page, but would most logically be added to a vf-grid, embl-grid or vf-section-header element.
• Ensure data-vf-js-navigation-on-this-page-container="true" is present on .vf-navigation__list.
• Ensure each anchor link has a data-vf-js-navigation-on-this-page-link.

Install

This component is distributed with npm. After installing npm, you can install the vf-navigation with this command.

$ yarn add --dev @visual-framework/vf-navigation
