bootstrap-nav

Generate bootstrap nav's from javascript objects.

Build Status

Because typing HTML is harsh. And setting the active link to class="active" manually is quite onerous, here's a module that will generate the right html for you.

Install

npm install bootstrap-nav

Example

For more elaborate examples, take a look at the file scripts/generate-example.js, and it's output in the example dir.

The following:

    var Nav = require('bootstrap-nav');
 
    var menu = Nav.build({
        class: ['nav-tabs'],
        children: [
            {
                title: 'Link 1',
                link: '/link1',
                class: 'disabled'
            },
            {
                title: 'Link 2',
                link: '/link2',
                class: 'active'
            },
            {
                type: 'dropdown',
                title: 'Dropdown Title',
                children: [
                    {
                        title: 'Dropdown Child 1',
                        link: '/dropdown/child/1',
                        class: 'disabled'
                    },
                    {
                        title: 'Dropdown Child 2',
                        link: '/dropdown/child/2',
                    }
                ]
            },
            {
                title: 'Link 3',
                link: '/link3',
            },
        ]
    });
 
    nav.render('http://example.com/link3');

Will render this html:

    <ul class="nav nav-tabs">
        <li class="disabled">
            <a href="/link1">Link 1</a>
        </li>
        <li class="active">
            <a href="/link2">Link 2</a>
        </li>
        <li>
            <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">Dropdown Title
                <span class="caret"/>
            </a>
            <ul class="nav dropdown-menu">
                <li class="disabled">
                    <a href="/dropdown/child/1">Dropdown Child 1</a>
                </li>
                <li>
                    <a href="/dropdown/child/2">Dropdown Child 2</a>
                </li>
            </ul>
        </li>
        <li>
            <a href="/link3">Link 3</a>
        </li>
    </ul>

Methods

build

Creates a "nav" object that you can use to render the HTML. The nav object has one single method called "render". If you pass in the current url, it will add a class active to the appropriate link items in your nav.

    var Nav = require('boostrap-nav');
 
    var nav = Nav.build({
        class: ['nav-tabs'],
        children: [
            {
                title: 'Link 1',
                link: '/link1',
                class: 'disabled'
            },
            {
                title: 'Link 2',
                link: '/link2',
                class: 'active'
            }
        ]
    });
 
    // later, put this into your template:
    var html = nav.render(req.originalUrl)

Supported navs, custom classes, custom attributes

You may add custom classes to the class key. Additional attributes can just be specified on the object itself. Attributes values may be arrays, these will be joined by a single space.

All attributes and content will be properly escaped.
