    components: {
      VCollapsingMenu
    }
  }

and after - add to your template

#Properties

The required property is :navbar - an array of routes for your menu. It have to contain the next rules:

• if you use a simple routing, use key "link", to add them to 'a' tag:

[
  {
    link: '/first-node',
    name: 'first node'
  },
  {
    link: '/second-node', 
    name: 'second node'
  }
]

• if you use a vue-router, use key "path", to add them to 'router-link' tag:

[
  {
    path: '/first-node',
    name: 'first node'
  },
  {
    path: '/second-node', 
    name: 'second node'
  }
]

• if you need to use a custom html-element, use key "html":

[
  {
    html: '<a href="/first-path"><img src="/first-node"/></a>',
    name: 'first node'
  },
  {
    html: '<a href="/second-path"><img src="/second-node"/></a>', 
    name: 'second node'
  }
]

• if your categories have a children categories, just add them to the object with key "children", and also add property "hasChildren": true :

[
  {
    link: '/first-node',
    name: 'first node',
    hasChildren: true,
    children: [
      {
          link: '/first-children-node',
          name: 'first children node'
       },
       {
          link: '/second-children-node',
          name: 'second children node'
       },
    ]
  },
  {
    link: '/second-node',
    name: 'second node'
  }
]

If you have more than one vue-collapsing-menu component on the page, you need to add the property :component-key, for it works correctly. Component key have to has a unique value

Also, If you have a special margin or padding properties in your parent block you can add a properties :external-padding-max for window width more than 1024px and :external-padding-min for less. Please, use this properties with v-bind or : directives, because this value have to be a number.
