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="">
              Chester Walton
            </a>
          </li>
          <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
            <a class="Menu-item" href="">
              Virgie Cummings
            </a>
          </li>
          <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
            <a class="Menu-item" href="">
              Jeffrey Barrett
            </a>
          </li>
          <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
            <a class="Menu-item" href="">
              Isabella Simon
            </a>
          </li>
          <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
            <a class="Menu-item" href="">
              Lee Flores
            </a>
          </li>
          <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
            <a class="Menu-item" href="">
              Vera Hunt
            </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="#">
            Darrell Wright
          </a>
        </li>
        <li class="Menu-cell">
          <a class="Menu-item"
            
            href="#">
            Mark Kelly
          </a>
        </li>
        <li class="Menu-cell">
          <a class="Menu-item"
            aria-current="page"
            href="#">
            Winifred Mullins
          </a>
        </li>
        <li class="Menu-cell">
          <a class="Menu-item"
            
            href="#">
            Clyde Perkins
          </a>
        </li>
        <li class="Menu-cell">
          <a class="Menu-item"
            
            href="#">
            Etta Payne
          </a>
        </li>
        <li class="Menu-cell">
          <a class="Menu-item"
            
            href="#">
            Cornelia Francis
          </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="">
              Lilly Hawkins
            </a>
            <ul class="Menu Menu--nested">
                <li class="Menu-cell">
                  <a class="Menu-item" href="">
                    Alma Paul
                  </a>
                </li>
                <li class="Menu-cell">
                  <a class="Menu-item" href="">
                    Jennie Soto
                  </a>
                </li>
                <li class="Menu-cell">
                  <a class="Menu-item" href="">
                    Michael Mendez
                  </a>
                </li>
            </ul>
          </li>
          <li class="Menu-cell">
            <a class="Menu-item" href="">
              Adam Doyle
            </a>
            <ul class="Menu Menu--nested">
                <li class="Menu-cell">
                  <a class="Menu-item" href="">
                    Alex Curtis
                  </a>
                </li>
                <li class="Menu-cell">
                  <a class="Menu-item" href="">
                    Celia Hughes
                  </a>
                </li>
                <li class="Menu-cell">
                  <a class="Menu-item" href="">
                    Jeffery Hubbard
                  </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="">
                Gene Huff
              </a>
            </li>
            <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
              <a class="Menu-item" href="">
                Carl Glover
              </a>
            </li>
            <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
              <a class="Menu-item" href="">
                Lou Warner
              </a>
            </li>
            <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
              <a class="Menu-item" href="">
                Corey Turner

            </li>
            <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
              <a class="Menu-item" href="">
                Owen Boyd
              </a>
            </li>
            <li class="Menu-cell u-md-size1of2">
              <a class="Menu-item" href="">
                Ricky Moran
              </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="">
