Requirements

When using the menu component in your app:

add @vendasta/fec-menu to the dependencies of your app
add MenuModule to the import list in angular module

Usage

add <va-menu></va-menu> to the template of the parent component

Input	Description
menuItems	JSON list of objects for menu item arguments
activeMenuId	which menu item should be marked as the currently visited location
url	URL to request JSON data of menuItems (instead of using menuItems)
autoClose	The menu will automatically close when user click somewhere other than this menu area

No default menu items will be populated. Specify menu items via the menuItems input.

Example menuItems JSON data

[
    {
        label: 'menu item with no URL',
        menuId: 'no-url-do-something',
        ngRoute: false
    },
    {
        label: 'WTF is “nyancat”?',
        menuId: 'go-to-lmgtfy',
        url: 'lmgtfy.com/?q=nyancat',
        ngRoute: false
    },
    {
        label: 'Route managed by Angular Router',
        menuId: 'angular-route',
        url: '/angular-app',
        ngRoute: true
    }
]

Example output

<va-menu [activeMenuId]="activeMenuId" [url]="apiUrl" [menuItems]="[ {label: 'menu item with no URL', menuId: 'no-url-do-something', ngRoute: false}, {label: 'WTF is “nyancat”?', menuId: 'go-to-lmgtfy', url: 'lmgtfy.com/?q=nyancat', ngRoute: false}]" (menuItemClickEvent)="onMenuItemClick($event);" [autoClose]="true"></va-menu>
