GitBook Plugin: Collapsible Menu
GitBook Plugin to change sidebar menu's to collapsible menu. For gitbook with many pages, navigating long menus can get irritating.
Usage
Update book.json
file to include collapsible-menu
plugin.
{
"plugins": ["collapsible-menu"],
}
Troubleshooting
- If you are not seeing all chapters expanded, then check if your
book.json
is valid. You can use this online tool - http://json.parser.online.fr/beta/ - Check if you are using default gitbook theme. It is NOT recommended to modify gitbook themes directly
- Clean your browser cache.
- Check browser's javascript console for errors.
How this work?
It hooks into gitbook's page.change
event. First it hides all pages, and then using .active
css class show's its parent and grandparent nodes (chapters).
TODO
Testing with PDF book generation. I hope it won't break.
