Side Navigation Component for React

Alt Img

Requirements

react-sidenav are exported as an es module thus you would need a bundler to use it. It is also written in Typescript so it can be directly used with a typescript project as well.

Peer Dependencies

React 16.8

NavContext

As the current version of react-sidenav does not have any fixed rendering template, the user is free to render Nav items as they see fit. To render conditionally an item can get the context which contains the following attributes:

property type description
selected boolean if this Nav item is selected
id string the id of the Nav as per props.id
pathId string The path id, will be parentId
level number The level of the Nav, starts with 1
isLeaf boolean If true, then this Nav has no children

Below is an example on how to use it.

    const Item = () => {
      const context = React.useContext(NavContext);
      return (
        <div style={{ color: context.selected? 'pink': 'inherit'}}>{ props.children }</div>
      )
    }
  
    <SideNav>
      <Nav id="1">
        <Item>Link 1</Item>
      </Nav>
      <Nav id="2">
        <Item>Link 2</Item>
      </Nav>
      <Nav id="3">
        <Item>Link 3</Item>
      </Nav>
    </SideNav>
