Menu

Simple grid-based list of menu items intended for subnavigation. Columns can be controlled using u-size* utilities.

<ul class="Menu">
  <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
    <a class="Menu-item" href="">
        Eleanor Carr
      </a>
  </li>
  <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
    <a class="Menu-item" href="">
        Rose Watson
      </a>
  </li>
  <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
    <a class="Menu-item" href="">
        Bruce Ward
      </a>
  </li>
  <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
    <a class="Menu-item" href="">
        Jordan Garrett
      </a>
  </li>
  <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
    <a class="Menu-item" href="">
        Roxie Curtis
      </a>
  </li>
  <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
    <a class="Menu-item" href="">
        Loretta Terry
      </a>
  </li>
</ul>

It can be helpful to highlight the currently selected item in a menu.

We recommend using the aria-current attribute for this, but if that's not possible you can achieve the same styling with the is-current state class.

<ul class="Menu">
  <li class="Menu-cell">
    <a class="Menu-item"

      href="#">
      Gilbert Rios
    </a>
  </li>
  <li class="Menu-cell">
    <a class="Menu-item"

      href="#">
      Lucy Porter
    </a>
  </li>
  <li class="Menu-cell">
    <a class="Menu-item"
      aria-current="page"
      href="#">
      Emilie McGuire
    </a>
  </li>
  <li class="Menu-cell">
    <a class="Menu-item"

      href="#">
      Ruth Mullins
    </a>
  </li>
  <li class="Menu-cell">
    <a class="Menu-item"

      href="#">
      Devin Garza
    </a>
  </li>
  <li class="Menu-cell">
    <a class="Menu-item"

      href="#">
      Jared Griffith
    </a>
  </li>
</ul>

You can nest Menus inside of other menus. When doing this you should include the Menu--nested modifier on the nested menus.

Theoretically you could create a very deeply nested menu structure, but in practice we don't recommend nesting menus more than 3 levels deep.

This pattern works best with single column menus.

<ul class="Menu">
  <li class="Menu-cell">
    <a class="Menu-item" href="">
        Sean Hayes
      </a>
    <ul class="Menu Menu--nested">
      <li class="Menu-cell">
        <a class="Menu-item" href="">
              Charles Stevens
            </a>
      </li>
      <li class="Menu-cell">
        <a class="Menu-item" href="">
              Troy Lowe
            </a>
      </li>
      <li class="Menu-cell">
        <a class="Menu-item" href="">
              Noah Tran
            </a>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li class="Menu-cell">
    <a class="Menu-item" href="">
        Ella Buchanan
      </a>
    <ul class="Menu Menu--nested">
      <li class="Menu-cell">
        <a class="Menu-item" href="">
              Agnes Henderson
            </a>
      </li>
      <li class="Menu-cell">
        <a class="Menu-item" href="">
              Howard Johnson
            </a>
      </li>
      <li class="Menu-cell">
        <a class="Menu-item" href="">
              Josie Day
            </a>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

By default the menu is horizontally aligned with other page content. If you'd prefer the menu cells to be horizontally aligned with other page content you can achieve this with the Menu--flush modifier.

Use care when using this modifier. It relies on negative margins, so may extend out of its container.

<div class="u-pad1">
  <h4>Flush Menu</h4>

  <ul class="Menu Menu--flush">
    <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
      <a class="Menu-item" href="">
          Milton Riley
        </a>
    </li>
    <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
      <a class="Menu-item" href="">
          Blake Thornton
        </a>
    </li>
    <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
      <a class="Menu-item" href="">
          Mabelle Parsons
        </a>
    </li>
    <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
      <a class="Menu-item" href="">
          Keith Paul
        </a>
    </li>
    <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
      <a class="Menu-item" href="">
          Edith Garrett
        </a>
    </li>
    <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
      <a class="Menu-item" href="">
          Alfred Pearson
        </a>
    </li>
  </ul>
</div>

A more product-like menu display can be achieved using the optional Menu-object and Menu-label descendants.

<ul class="Menu">
  <li class="Menu-cell u-size1of2 u-md-size1of3 u-lg-size1of4">
    <a class="Menu-item" href="">
        <img class="Menu-object" src="data:image/svg+xml;charset=US-ASCII,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20width%3D%22150%22%20height%3D%22150%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20150%20150%22%3E%3Crect%20fill%3D%22%23116bb1%22%20width%3D%22100%25%22%20height%3D%22100%25%22%2F%3E%3Ctext%20fill%3D%22%23c7e4fa%22%20font-family%3D%22sans-serif%22%20font-size%3D%2230%22%20dy%3D%2212%22%20font-weight%3D%22bold%22%20x%3D%2250%25%22%20y%3D%2250%25%22%20text-anchor%3D%22middle%22%3E%3C%2Ftext%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E" alt="">
