Nifty Nav

Nifty Nav is a quick and easy navigation plugin using Sass and jQuery. It makes making navigation systems a little better. Built by the awesome people over at factor1.

Getting Started

1. Install Nifty Nav with `npm` or `bower`

npm install nifty-nav --save
## OR
bower install nifty-nav --save

2. Import the Nifty Nav styles & settings in your `.scss` file

To use the default settings:

@import nifty-nav/settings;
@import nifty-nav/nifty-nav;

To customize the settings, copy settings.scss to your project folder and include it before nifty-nav. This example moves settings.scss to a folder called settings and renames it to nifty-nav-settings:

@import settings/nifty-nav-settings;
@import nifty-nav/nifty-nav;

3. Include the `nifty-nav.js`

Include the nifty-nav.js in your build either inline or within a Gulp or Grunt task.

Quick Setup

To use Nifty Nav without compiling and with the default settings, clone the Nifty Nav repo and use nifty-nav.min.css found in dist/css/ and nifty-nav.min.js found in dist/js/.

<html>
  <head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/file/nifty-nav.min.css">
  </head>
  <body>
   ...
   <script src="path/to/file/nifty-nav.min.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>

Adding The Hamburger

To add the hamburger to your site:

<a id="nifty-nav-toggle"><span></span></a>

Nifty Nav Options/Settings

Nifty Nav has five jQuery settings, and some scss settings.

subMenus controls if Nifty Nav should allow toggling of sub-menus. Default: false.
subMenuParentLink controls if a parent menu navigation link should be followed when clicked. Default: false.
mask controls if Nifty Nav should show the mask that covers the page. Default: true.
itemClickClose controls if Nifty Nav should close when a nav item with the class of nifty-nav-item is clicked. Default: true.
panelPosition lets you control the display: value of the .nifty-panel element. Default: absolute.

NOTE: When using panelPosition: 'fixed' a class of .nifty-lock is added to the <body>. This is to prevent the page from scrolling and allow the user to scroll through nav items instead. To change this functionality simply override the .nifty-lock class.

Scss settings control visual aspects of nifty nav:

$header-index sets the z-index of the <header> element
$panel-color sets the color of the dropdown.
$panel-top-distance sets the panel distance from the top of the viewport.
$panel-width sets the panel width.
$panel-index sets the z-index of the Nifty Nav panel.
$mask-color sets the color and opacity of the mask.
$mask-index sets the z-index of the mask.
$hamburger-color sets the hamburger color.
$hamburger-color-active sets the color of the hamburger when the panel is open.
$hamburger-position-top sets the distance from the top of the containing element.
$hamburger-position-x sets the distance from the left/right of the containing element.
$hamburger-position-left - default is true. If false, the hamburger floats to the right.

Initializing Nifty Nav

To use Nifty Nav, initialize it at the bottom of your page before the closing </body> or in an external JavaScript file (recommended).

// Nifty Nav with default settings
$(document).ready(function(){
	$('#nifty-nav-toggle').niftyNav();
});

// Nifty Nav without the mask and with sub-menu toggles
$(document).ready(function(){
  niftyNav({
    mask: false,
    subMenus: true
  });
});
