Options
<SideMenu> - main component
| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| items | null | Property for the JS Object configuration of the component SideMenu component. Check out Demo to find out how it works. |
| activeItem | null | Preset starting active item. Also used for opening and closing menu items from code (e.g. from a button). When using this option, make sure to always keep the controlling variable (e.g. variable in state) from the parent component of the menu in sync with the actual activeItem (i.e. override onMenuItemClick and update the variable) |
| collapse | true | This property gives you the capability to enable or disable collapsing menu when other elements of the menu are clicked. |
| theme | 'default' | This sets a class for the component that you can use to apply custom styling. The class will be Side-menu-[theme_name]. Note: our default theme uses Font Awesome icons. See Demo for an detailed example. |
| renderMenuItemContent({ icon: icon, value: value, label: label }) | null | This property enables you to provide a custom render method for items. Function is passed one parameter, representing the menu item being rendered. It receives an object with attributes: icon, label and value. Demo |
| onMenuItemClick | (value, extras) => window.location.href = '#' + value | This property enables you to provide custom onClick method for items. The function gets passed the value of the clicked item and item extras (object). Demo |
| rtl | false | This property enables you to use the sidemenu in a right-to-left page. Demo |
| shouldTriggerClickOnParents | false | This property enables triggering 'onMenuItemClick' on parent items that have children. |
<Item> - this component is for the non-JS object config of the menu
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| value | The href where you will be redirected after you click the item if no onMenuItemClick is provided. If onMenuItemClick is provided, it is the value being passed to the function call. |
| label | Just a label. |
| icon | This is the icon of the item. It should be a font-awesome class name. |
| onClick | Custom on click method specific for this item (overrides onMenuItemClick). |
| extras | Optional container for additional data. |
Roadmap
Any contribution is welcome.
TODO:
- split code into two units: JS object configuration and Component configuration
- tests & CI support
- refactor examples code
