Subnav

This is a custom component (no class prefix in place as it does not conflict with bootstrap)

  • There are two variations of the subnav, the default subnav is collapsed on mobile and opens up on click, the --horizontal variant is used on top-level landing-pages and expands underneath the hero image
  • On mobile (for both variants), the menu requires a click (or touch) to be opened, and for the default version on desktop it is open by default
  • The subnav is setup to use :target when a user has javascript disabled, to allow the nav to open on mobile
  • The custom styles are imported into the index.scss file as @import "../components/subnav/subnav";
  • The .ts file for the javascript is imported into the index.ts file as import subnavInit from "./components/subnav"; and called as subnavInit();
