Vue Navs

Vue Navs is a composite navigation component for Vue apps. The component makes it easy to integrate Side-Nav and Nav-Bar into a Vue project. Currently, the component is designed to work with Bulma CSS framework and uses Hamburgers for menu button styles.

Installation

npm install vue-navs
or
yarn add vue-navs

Dependencies

• Bulma
• Hamburgers
• Vue Router

Run npm install bulma hamburgers vue-router
or
yarn add bulma hamburgers vue-router

Integration

1. After installation
2. Add the following to main.js

import VueNavs from "vue-navs"

import "@/assets/css/bulma.scss";

Vue.component("vue-navs", VueNavs)

3. Create a file assets/css/bulma.scss and add these statements to it:

$hamburger-layer-width: 30px;
@import "~vue-navs/dist/VueNavs.css";
@import "~bulma/css/bulma.css";
@import "~hamburgers/_sass/hamburgers/hamburgers.scss";

4. In the parent component, your declaration should look like this:

<vue-navs
  :site-name="name"
  :user="user"
  :side-bar-type="side_bar_type"
  :side-bar-items="side_bar_items"
  :nav-bar-items="nav_bar_items"
  :hamburger-type="hamburger_type"
/>

5. Finally,

Add this to your index.html

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.10.1/css/all.css" />

The component currently, supports only fontawesome icons. Other icon libraries will be added soon.
