A more natural feeling navigation menu component that can distinguish an option selection and an attempt to navigate to the submenu's content.

The component is used on Supply.com and styled as follows:

npm install react-mega-menu --save

The examples from this point on will be style-less except for borders and padding for presentation purposes.

The menu is responsive, going up and down as expected, but when you attempt to point to the content container, it recognizes it and allows for a smooth transition without switching sections accidentally:

The menu can also present the content to the left instead of to the right:

import the package

import { ReactMegaMenu } from "react-mega-menu" //OR
import ReactMegaMenu from "react-mega-menu"

The component takes in a few props:

{
  tolerance?: number;
  direction?: Directions;
  data: Section[];
  styleConfig: StyleConfig;
  onExit?: () => void;
}

and can be used as follows:

...
<ReactMegaMenu 
  tolerance={50}      // optional, defaults to 100
  direction={"LEFT"}  // optional, defaults to "RIGHT", takes in "RIGHT" || "LEFT"
  styleConfig={...}   // defaults to an empty object. not recommended to be left blank.
  onExit={()=>{...}}  // a function to be called when a mouse leaves the container
  data={[...]}        // array of data to be rendered
/>
...

Each element in the data array should consist of the following properties:

{
  label: string;            // label to be shown on for each menuItem
  key: string | number;     // a key id
  items: React.ReactNode;   // a react node to be presented as content
}

The labels will be presented in the menu and the appropriate items will be presented when the label gets hovered over.

To style the component, please provide it with a styleConfig prop. This is highly recommended as the styling is close to nonexistent in this component. It is meant to be dynamic and easily fit into your web-app's style.

styleConfig prop consits of the following:

{
  containerProps?: React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLDivElement>;
  contentProps?: React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLDivElement>;
  menuItemProps?: React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLLIElement>;
  menuItemSelectedProps?: React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLLIElement>;
  menuProps?: React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLUListElement>;
}

It is recommended to create a style/className prop for each of those. To better understand what each one of these affects, take a look at the following outline:

1. Clone repo: git clone ...
2. run npm install
3. run npm start to see a live demo
