<myuw-app-bar>

A material top app bar designed for use with other MyUW web components

Getting Started

Include the component as follows:

<!-- import the module -->
<script type="module" src="https://cdn.my.wisc.edu/@myuw-web-components/myuw-app-bar@latest/myuw-app-bar.min.mjs"></script>

<!-- fallback for browsers without ES2015 module support -->
<script nomodule scr="https://cdn.my.wisc.edu/@myuw-web-components/myuw-app-bar@latest/myuw-app-bar.min.js"></script>

<myuw-app-bar
  theme-name="MyUW"
  app-name=""
  app-url=""
>
</myuw-app-bar>

Note: The evergreen "latest" version can be used for convenience, but in production settings it is recommended to use the latest release version specifically, and upgrade only after testing!

Important: For responsiveness to many screen sizes, ensure you have included the viewport meta tag in your application:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

Configurable properties via attributes

• themeName (theme-name): Sets the theme/portal name (defaults to "MyUW")
• appName (app-name): Sets the app name (e.g. "Bucky Backup")
• appUrl (app-url): Sets then URL to go to when user clicks the app title

Styling the app bar

MyUW app bar exposes custom CSS properties so users can change some of its styles.

• --myuw-app-bar-bg: Background color for the app bar
• --myuw-app-bar-font: Font stack for the app bar
• --myuw-app-bar-color: Font color for the app bar
