A customizable JavaScript menu framework for modern browsers made easy.
Getting Started
🖥 Installation
Add Nifty Nav 2 to your project using your favorite package manager.
npm
npm install nifty-nav-2 --saveyarn
yarn add nifty-nav-2📂 Including in your project
Styles
Import the Nifty Nav 2 css or scss, or ensure it is included in your build. The following
is using scss to import from node_modules. Alternatively, you could copy niftyNav2.css
from node_modules to your project.
// include nifty nav 2 styles JavaScript
How you include the Nifty Nav 2 JavaScript library is up to you and the architecture
of your project. Nifty Nav 2 is available as a UMD module so it can be used as a
AMD, Global, Node, or ES6 module. The compiled JavaScript file found in dist/ contains
the babel-polyfill to ensure proper cross browser support.
Simple
Copy the niftyNav2.js file in nifty-nav-2/dist to your project directory and include
in your HTML. You do not need to include any polyfills, as they are bundled directly
into dist/niftyNav2.js.
<!-- Your HTML Content --> Using Gulp
A Gulp implementation that concatenates JS files may look something like this.
var concatFiles = './node_modules/nifty-nav-2/dist/niftyNav2.js' // adds niftyNav2.js to be concatenated './assets/js/*.js' // grabs all js files from our assets/js folder '!./assets/js/*.min.js' // ignore minified files // Concatenate & Minify JavaScriptgulp;ES6 Module
;🛠 Usage
Adding the Trigger
Place the trigger or "hamburger". You can place this wherever you want it to appear in the DOM.
<div data-nifty-target="niftyNav"></div>Your element must have a data-nifty-target attribute with a unique name. Here,
we are simply calling it niftyNav but it can be anything you wish. If changed from
the default niftyNav be sure to pass that via settings when initializing.
Adding the Panel
Add the panel that will be opened on click. The ID should match the value of data-nifty-target.
<div id="niftyNav"> <!--Panel Contents --></div>Initialization
