Navigation component
About
The vf-navigation component is a horizontal list of links to key pages of the website.
Usage
Global navigation variant
This variant of the vf-navigation is to be used as part of the vf-global-header to give a few 'quick links' that will be on every page.
Main navigation variant
This variant of the vf-navigation can be used to link to sections of the site, or part of the site the parent section.
This is typically placed below the vf-hero component but can be also found below the vf-global-header.
There should be only one use of vf-navigation--main on a page.
On this page navigation variant
This sticky element allows users to quickly jump between sections on longer pages.
There should be only one use of vf-navigation--on-this-page on a page.
Using the vfNavigationOnThisPage JavaScript adds a quality-of-life improvement by automatically activating sections as the user scrolls them into view on the page.
For this feature to work, anchor targets need two things an element id: id="container-1"
These could be added to any item on the page, but would most logically be added to a vf-grid, embl-grid or vf-section-header
