rui-header-mega-menu

Module: rui-header - Package: @jha/rui-wc

Header button that displays a mega menu when pressed

Name	Type	Default	Description
text	string	''	Text displayed in the button
iconType	string	''	The name of the icon to display in the button. You can find a list of all enterprise icons here.
badge	string	''	Optional text that is highlighted to the right of the button text. Often used to display a count of data items that can be accessed when the user presses the button.
data-col-width	number	200	Data attribute specifying the width in pixels of each column in the mega menu. Leave this at the default value unless items are being clipped.
data-row-height	number	35	Data attribute specifying the height in pixels of each row in the mega menu. You should only set this if your mega menu uses templates, in which case this defines the height of each template.
allowMixedCase	boolean	false	Our standard is for header buttons to uppercase their text. In certain rare cases, this uppercasing can be inappropriate. For example, the button text may refer to a product name that must include a lower case character for trademark purposes. In these rare cases, set this property to true to preserve mixed case for the button.

Implementation

Begin by importing the rui-header module into your application.

Import the module

// import into app.module
import '@jha/rui-wc/components/rui-header/rui-header-imports';

Use a rui-header-mega-menu for a button that displays a mega menu of options when pressed.

Use rui-header-mega-menu instead of rui-header-dropdown if you have more than a few menu options to display.

The example below adds a mega menu button to the right side of the header that displays a mega menu with the US states as options.

Using the component

<!-- Header: Defines application name and admin options that display in header -->
<rui-header [displaySearch]="true" searchWidth="50%" searchWatermarkText="SEARCH" (rui-header-search)="search($event)">

    <!-- Left side -->
    <rui-header-left [displayBackButton]="displayBackButton" (rui-back-button-click)="backButtonClicked()">

        <!-- Left side content -->

    </rui-header-left>

    <!-- Right side -->
    <rui-header-right>

        <rui-header-mega-menu iconType="map-location" text="Locations">
            <rui-mega-menu-item *ngFor="let state of stateList" text="{{state}}">
            </rui-mega-menu-item>
        </rui-header-mega-menu>

    </rui-header-right>

</rui-header>
