Quickstart

jsCopy
import React from 'react';
import {Switch, Link, Route} from 'react-router-dom';
import SiteNav, {ContentGroup} from 'react-site-nav'; // 1. Do this
import Home from './home';
import MyStory from './myStory';

export default () =>
  (
    <div>
      {/* 2. Add SiteNav with ContentGroup as children */}
      <SiteNav>
        <ContentGroup title="About" height="200">
          {/* 3. You can add anything in a ContentGroup */}
          <ul>
            {/* react router link! */}
            <li><Link to="/my-story">My Story</Link></li>
            <li>Another list item</li>
          </ul>
        </ContentGroup>
        <ContentGroup title="Contact" height="200">
          Free text followed by some links.<br/>
          <a href="mailto:yusinto@gmail.com">Email</a><br/>
          <a href="https://github.com/yusinto">Github</a>
        </ContentGroup>
      </SiteNav>
      <Switch>
        <Route exact path="/" component={Home}/>
        <Route path="/my-story" component={MyStory}/>
      </Switch>
    </div>
  );

react router, server side rendering and hot reload.

Api

SiteNav

The main react component that represents the site nav. The root container is a css grid so
most of the props below maps directly to this grid and should be self-explanatory. Place
ContentGroup components as children of SiteNav to render the "flyouts".

jsxCopy
  <SiteNav
    align="center" /* center, left, right. This directly maps to justify-content of the root grid. */
    columnWidth="150"
    rowHeight="45"
    background="#323232"
    color="#fff"
    fontSize="18"
    fontFamily="Helvetica, sans-serif"
    contentBackground="#fff" /* Applies to all content groups */
    contentColor="#323232" /* Applies to all content groups */
    contentTop="0" /* Adjusts the distance between ContentGroups and root items */
    breakpoint="768" /* Show site nav at this breakpoint */
    debug={false} /* Keep ContentGroups open to make debugging easier */
  >
    { /* These will render as flyouts */}
    <ContentGroup>...</ContentGroup>
    <ContentGroup>...</ContentGroup>
  </SiteNav>

ContentGroup

Each SiteNav contains ContentGroup children components. Each ContentGroup will be rendered
as a "flyout" on hover of the root items. It accepts the following props which are self-explanatory.

jsxCopy
  <ContentGroup 
    title="Products" 
    width="420"
    height="270"
    rootUrl="https://some/link" /* Optional. Render root item as a link */
    background="white" /* Optional. Overrides SiteNav contentBackground property */
  >
  {
    /* You can render anything here! */
  }
  </ContentGroup>

To render a root item as a link without a ContentGroup, you can do this:

jsxCopy
  <ContentGroup title="Open Source" rootUrl="https://github.com/yusinto" />

By not specifying width and height, SiteNav assumes you just want to render the root item
without a ContentGroup. Of course you can have a linked root item plus a ContentGroup. Just specify either
a width or a height so SiteNav knows you want to render the group.

jsxCopy
  <ContentGroup title="Open Source" rootUrl="https://github.com/yusinto" height="200">
    {
      /* You can render anything here! */
    }
  </ContentGroup>
