# Navigation Menu Structure

# Overview

While creating the navigation menu, you need to know the structure of it. On this page, you will understand how to create a navigation section title (which is only in the vertical navigation menu), navigation group and navigation link.

# Vertical Navigation Structure

Following are the items that you can create for your vertical navigation:

# 1. Navigation Section Header

It is used to group some navigation groups and/or navigation links in some sections. This is only used in the vertical navigation menu. To create a navigation section, you need to add an object with the following structure:

type NavSectionTitle = {
  action?: string
  subject?: string
  sectionTitle: string
}

Here is the example code:

{
  sectionTitle: 'Apps & Pages'
}

Result:

navigation-section-header

# 2. Navigation Group

It is used to group some navigation groups and/or navigation links that can be treated as an accordion or a collapse. To create a navigation group, you need to add an object with the following structure:

// For Static Navigation Menu
type NavGroup = {
  title: string
  action?: string
  subject?: string
  badgeContent?: string
  children?: (NavGroup | NavLink)[]
  icon?: string | string[] | ReactNode
  badgeColor?: 'default' | 'primary' | 'secondary' | 'success' | 'error' | 'warning' | 'info'
}

// For Server Side Navigation Menu
type NavGroup = {
  icon?: string
  title: string
  action?: string
  subject?: string
  badgeContent?: string
  children?: (NavGroup | NavLink)[]
  badgeColor?: 'default' | 'primary' | 'secondary' | 'success' | 'error' | 'warning' | 'info'
}

Here is the example code:

Result:

To create a navigation link, you need to add an object with the following structure:

// For Static Navigation Menu
type NavLink = {
  path?: string
  title: string
  action?: string
  subject?: string
  disabled?: boolean
  badgeContent?: string
  externalLink?: boolean
  openInNewTab?: boolean
  icon?: string | string[] | ReactNode
  badgeColor?: 'default' | 'primary' | 'secondary' | 'success' | 'error' | 'warning' | 'info'
}

// For Server Side Navigation Menu

  icon?: string
  path?: string
  title: string
  action?: string
  subject?: string
  disabled?: boolean
  badgeContent?: string
  externalLink?: boolean
  openInNewTab?: boolean
  badgeColor?: 'default' | 'primary' | 'secondary' | 'success' | 'error' | 'warning' | 'info'
}
