Menu

Simple

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="">
              Mamie Mathis
            </a>
          </li>
          <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
            <a class="Menu-item" href="">
              Travis Bowen
            </a>
          </li>
          <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
            <a class="Menu-item" href="">
              Daisy Rivera
            </a>
          </li>
          <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
            <a class="Menu-item" href="">
              Christopher Collins
            </a>
          </li>
          <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
            <a class="Menu-item" href="">
              Caleb Zimmerman
            </a>
          </li>
          <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
            <a class="Menu-item" href="">
              Tyler Underwood
            </a>
          </li>
      </ul>

Current Item

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="#">
            Austin Hawkins
          </a>
        </li>
        <li class="Menu-cell">
          <a class="Menu-item"
            
            href="#">
            Ian McDaniel
          </a>
        </li>
        <li class="Menu-cell">
          <a class="Menu-item"
            aria-current="page"
            href="#">
            Derek Vasquez
          </a>
        </li>
        <li class="Menu-cell">
          <a class="Menu-item"
            
            href="#">
            Lester Cortez
          </a>
        </li>
        <li class="Menu-cell">
          <a class="Menu-item"
            
            href="#">
            Brandon West
          </a>
        </li>
        <li class="Menu-cell">
          <a class="Menu-item"
            
            href="#">
            Ian Blake
          </a>
        </li>
      </ul>

Nested

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="">
              Samuel Bennett
            </a>
            <ul class="Menu Menu--nested">
                <li class="Menu-cell">
                  <a class="Menu-item" href="">
                    Micheal Pena
                  </a>
                </li>
                <li class="Menu-cell">
                  <a class="Menu-item" href="">
                    Lena Cannon
                  </a>
                </li>
                <li class="Menu-cell">
                  <a class="Menu-item" href="">
                    Glen Terry
                  </a>
                </li>
            </ul>
          </li>
          <li class="Menu-cell">
            <a class="Menu-item" href="">
              Minnie Walters
            </a>
            <ul class="Menu Menu--nested">
                <li class="Menu-cell">
                  <a class="Menu-item" href="">
                    Linnie Walker
                  </a>
                </li>
                <li class="Menu-cell">
                  <a class="Menu-item" href="">
                    Adeline Nelson
                  </a>
                </li>
                <li class="Menu-cell">
                  <a class="Menu-item" href="">
                    Joel Brock
                  </a>
                </li>
            </ul>
          </li>
      </ul>

Flush

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.

Flush Menu

<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="">
                Sarah Lane
              </a>
            </li>
            <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
              <a class="Menu-item" href="">
                Beulah Holt
              </a>
            </li>
            <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
              <a class="Menu-item" href="">
                Emma Bradley
              </a>
            </li>
            <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
              <a class="Menu-item" href="">
                Harold Castro

                Stephen Ford

            </li>
            <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
              <a class="Menu-item" href="">
                Viola Gilbert
              </a>
            </li>
        </ul>
      </div>

Advanced

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="">
