## Navigation ### Define a navigation tree For the top navigation and left the basic array looks like this: ```php return [ ['label'=>'='], ['href'=>'#', 'label'=>'Menu A', 'icon'=>'fa-solid fa-home' ], ['href'=>'#', 'label'=>'Menu B', 'icon'=>'fa-solid fa-tv'], ['href'=>'#', 'label'=>'Menu C', 'icon'=>'fa-solid fa-truck-pickup', 'class'=>'active', 'children'=>[ ['href'=>'#', 'label'=>'FAQ' , 'icon'=>'fa-solid fa-truck-monster'], ['href'=>'#', 'label'=>'Support' , 'icon'=>'fa-solid fa-truck-moving'], ] ] ]; ``` Key | Description --- | --- href | target of a link; href atttribute label | Linktext icon | css class value of a fontawesome icon class | custom css class; for left navigation use value "active" to highlight it children | array that contains 2nd Level **Specialties** For top navigation in thwe 2nd level (below children) define a label value with a single minus character to draw a line: `['label'=>'-']` The hamburger menu is rendered by `['label'=>'=']`. Remove this item when you don't want a left sidebar or it is static. ### Show navigation on top The top navigation is for the placeholder `{{NAVI_TOP}}`. You can use `getTopNavigation({array})` to render the navigation items. It creates * the hamburger menu * li elements for first level items * divs for navigation items of 2nd level ```php $aTopnav=include("./config/navi_top.php"); $aReplace['{{NAVI_TOP}}']='' . $renderAdminLTE->addWrapper( 'nav', ['class'=>'main-header navbar navbar-expand navbar-white navbar-light'], $renderAdminLTE->getTopNavigation($aTopnav) // add 2nd navbar if needed ) ; ``` See also <https://adminlte.io/docs/3.2/components/main-header.html> ### Show navigation on the left You can use `getSidebarNavigation({array})` to render the navigation items. It creates * li elements for first level items * if an item has children a nested list will be written. The nanigation item gets a "<" sign on the right. * A navigation with class "active" will be highlighted * If the active class is active and has children it will be expanded ```php $aReplace['{{NAVI_LEFT}}']='' . $renderAdminLTE->addWrapper( 'nav', ['class'=>'mt-2'], $renderAdminLTE->getSidebarNavigation($aSidebarNav) ); ```
