Sidenav

<auro-sidenav> is a HTML custom element that provides users a way to create navigational interfaces on the lefthand side of a page to navigate to seperate pages or different sections within the same page.

When consuming the auro-sidenav you will be registering the auro-sidenavitem and auro-sidenavsection component as well as the auro-sidenav components to the DOM. These components will be necessary to create the navigation.

The auro-sidenavsection is an extension of the auro-accordion can be used to create sections.

The auro-sidenavitem is an extension of the auro-hyperlink and used to create the navigational links in the auro-sidenav. You can use the expected href and target attributes to properly enable and style the links.

Please refer to the below example to see how to use these components.

Installing as a direct, dev or peer dependency is up to the user installing the package. If you are unsure as to what type of dependency you should use, consider reading this stack overflow answer.

Design Token CSS Custom Property dependency

The use of any Auro custom element has a dependency on the Auro Design Tokens.

CSS Custom Property fallbacks

CSS custom properties are not supported in older browsers. For this, fallback properties are pre-generated and included with the npm.

Any update to the Auro Design Tokens will be immediately reflected with browsers that support CSS custom properties, legacy browsers will require updated components with pre-generated fallback properties.

Define dependency in project component

Defining the component dependency within each component that is using the <auro-sidenav> component.

import "@aurodesignsystem/auro-sidenav";

Reference component in HTML

<auro-sidenav>
  <span slot="heading">Alaska Airlines History</span>
  <auro-sidenavitem href="/content/about-us/history">Historical overview</auro-sidenavitem>
  <auro-sidenavitem href="/content/about-us/history/history-by-decade">History by decade</auro-sidenavitem>
  <auro-sidenavitem href="/content/about-us/history/pioneers">Alaska Airlines pioneers</auro-sidenavitem>
</auro-sidenav>

Install bundled assets from CDN

In cases where the project is not able to process JS assets, there are pre-processed assets available for use. See -- auro-sidenav__bundled.js for modern browsers. Legacy browsers such as IE11 are no longer supported.

We recommend you load these bundles using differential serving so that the browser only loads the bundle correctly. To accomplish this, the script tag for the modern bundle should have type="module" and the script tag.

Bundle example code

<!-- **NOTE:** Be sure to replace `@latest` in the URL with the version of the asset you want. @latest is NOT aware of any MAJOR releases, use at your own risk. -->
