Menu's & navigations made easy.
This plugin works with Craft CMS 3.x, 4.x and 5.x
To install the plugin, follow these instructions.
cd /path/to/project
composer require studioespresso/craft-navigate
./craft install/plugin navigate
craft.navigate.raw
will give you an array of the items you added to the navigation, with children for each if you have those.
For each node you will have access to:
{% set nav = craft.navigate.raw('navHandle') %}
{% for node in nav %}
{{ node.name }}
{{ node.url }}
{{ node.classes }}
{{ node.blank }}
{{ node.children }}
{% endfor %}
This gives you complete control over the HTML & CSS used to display your navigation.
Here's an example of how to show a navigation and it's possible children using a twig macro:
{% import _self as macros %}
{% macro renderNode(node) %}
{% import _self as macros %}
<li class="{% if node.classes|length %}{{ node.classes }}{% endif %}">
<a href="{{ node.url }}" class="{% if node.active %}active{% endif %}"
{% if node.blank %}target="_blank" rel="noopener"{% endif %}>{{ node.name }}
</a>
{% if node.children|length %}
<ul>
{% for child in node.children %}
{{ macros.renderNode(child) }}
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endif %}
</li>
{% endmacro %}
<div>
<ul>
{% for node in nodes %}
{{ macros.renderNode(node) }}
{% endfor %}
</ul>
</div>
Since 2.3.0, headings can be added to make it easier to build larger navigations with mulitple sections or columns. To make full use of this you check check node.type == "heading"
and add the html you need in the condition.
These only work on multiple levels (eg: 3 headings on the top level, each with navigation items on deeper levels).
You can create a file called navigate.php
in the config
directory (you can copy this one to start) to manage these settings in your code. The ones listed here are not available through the CP.
Out of the box, the plugin will cache the querries it makes when devMode
is not enabled.
If you want to disable caching within the plugin entirely, you can do so by setting disableCaching
to true
in the plugin's configuration file. (see example here)
Instead of the "Classes" field being a plain text field, you can also change it to a predefined dropdown with class that you want to make available for the user.
The nodeClasses
setting takes an array where that contains "Class to be applied" => "Label to be shown in the cp".
"nodeClasses" => [
'' => '---',
'nav nav-primary' => "Primary",
'nav nav-highlight' => 'Highlight'
]
Make sure to also include an empty option in case you don't want the the first item to be selected by default
