Nav

Example

Navigation components make use of the base <i-nav> component for building all types of navigation styles.

<i-nav>
    <i-nav-item href="https://inkline.io">Link</i-nav-item>
    <i-nav-item :to="{ name: 'index' }">Router Link</i-nav-item>
    <i-nav-item>Item</i-nav-item>
    <i-nav-item disabled>Disabled</i-nav-item>
</i-nav>

Behind the scenes, the <i-nav-item> is converted into a <router-link> if it has the :to property, or a plain <a> tag if it has a href property. Otherwise, it uses a simple <div> tag.

Vertical Variant

You can stack nav items into a vertical navigation component by setting the vertical property on your <i-nav>.

<i-nav vertical>
    <i-nav-item href="https://inkline.io">Link</i-nav-item>
    <i-nav-item :to="{ name: 'docs-components-nav' }">Router Link</i-nav-item>
    <i-nav-item>Item</i-nav-item>
    <i-nav-item disabled>Disabled</i-nav-item>
</i-nav>

Color Variants

You’re able to use the color modifier to control the color of your navs, using one of the available variants: light, or dark.

<i-nav color="light" class="_background:light">
    <i-nav-item href="https://inkline.io">Link</i-nav-item>
    <i-nav-item :to="{ name: 'docs-components-nav' }">Router Link</i-nav-item>
    <i-nav-item>Item</i-nav-item>
    <i-nav-item>Item</i-nav-item>
    <i-nav-item disabled>Disabled</i-nav-item>
</i-nav>

<i-nav color="dark" class="_background:dark">
    <i-nav-item href="https://inkline.io">Link</i-nav-item>
    <i-nav-item :to="{ name: 'docs-components-nav' }">Router Link</i-nav-item>
    <i-nav-item>Item</i-nav-item>
    <i-nav-item>Item</i-nav-item>
    <i-nav-item disabled>Disabled</i-nav-item>
</i-nav>

Size Variants

You’re able to use the size modifier to control the size of your navs, using one of the available sizes: sm, md, and lg. The default size is set to md.

<i-nav size="sm">
    <i-nav-item>Item</i-nav-item>
    <i-nav-item>Item</i-nav-item>
    <i-nav-item>Item</i-nav-item>
</i-nav>

<i-nav size="md">
    <i-nav-item>Item</i-nav-item>
    <i-nav-item>Item</i-nav-item>
    <i-nav-item>Item</i-nav-item>
</i-nav>

<i-nav size="lg">
    <i-nav-item>Item</i-nav-item>
    <i-nav-item>Item</i-nav-item>
    <i-nav-item>Item</i-nav-item>
</i-nav>

Linking and Routing

Nav items will be automatically converted to link anchors <a> when providing a href property. You can also specify target and rel properties.

The <i-nav-item> component is well integrated with the Vue Router plugin and will be converted to a <router-link> when using the to property.

<i-nav>
    <i-nav-item href="https://inkline.io">Link</i-nav-item>
    <i-nav-item :to="{ name: 'index' }">Router Link</i-nav-item>
</i-nav>

Active State

You can control the active state of your <i-nav-item> using the active property. When you provide a to property you’re converting the component into a router-link, therefore you can use the active-class and exact-active-class properties and set them to -active.

<i-nav>
    <i-nav-item :to="{ name: 'docs-components-nav' }" exact-active-class="-active">
        Active Router Link
    </i-nav-item>
    <i-nav-item active>
        Active Item
    </i-nav-item>
</i-nav>
