Navigation menus are great for declaratively managing a set of a list of navigation menu items that you can access programmatically within a custom component. A very common use case for a custom navigation component is the display of social links on a community. It is a design pattern seen throughout the web and a great way for a company to promote their social presence. There are quite a few ways that we could achieve this with code, but using a navigation menu will give an admin the ability to manage the menu items using a familiar tool.
The component consists of the following:
- Communities
- Navigation Setup
- Connect API
- Summer '20 Community Modules

If you haven't already done so, authorize your hub org and provide it with an alias (myhuborg in the command below):
sfdx force:auth:web:login -d -a myhuborg -
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/schandlergarcia/communities-social-navigation cd communities-social-navigation -
Create a scratch org and provide it with an alias (communities-navigation in the command below):
sfdx force:org:create -s -f config/project-scratch-def.json -a communities-navigation -
Push the app to your scratch org:
sfdx force:source:push -
Open the scratch org:
sfdx force:org:open
