ResponsiveNavigation

in namespace DotVVM.Framework.Controls.Bootstrap

Renders a responsive meta component that serves as navigation header.

Usage & Scenarios

Renders a Bootstrap Navbar widget.

https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/components/#navbar

Sample 1: Basic Usage

Each menu item in the ResponsiveNavigation control is represented by the NavigationItem control.

The HeaderText property specifies the text that will be placed in the logo section of the navbar. If the HeaderLinkUrl property is set, the header will be rendered as a hyperlink for that URL.

page.dothtml

<bs:ResponsiveNavigation HeaderText="Header" HeaderLinkUrl="http://www.dotvvm.com">
  <bs:NavigationItem NavigateUrl="https://www.google.com/" 
                     Text="Google"
                     IsSelected="true" />
  <bs:NavigationItem NavigateUrl="http://www.w3schools.com/html/"
                     Text="W3 Schools"
                     IsDisabled="true" />
</bs:ResponsiveNavigation>

Sample 2: Advanced ResponsiveNavigation

If the HeaderImageUrl is set, the header section will render the image and the value of the HeaderText property will be used for the alternate text of the image.

The IsInverted property can switch the navbar to the inverse colors.

The IsStaticTop property controls whether the ResponsiveNavigation is full-width navbar that scrolls away with the page. It also removes the left, right and top border to make it look better at the top of the page.

page.dothtml

<bs:ResponsiveNavigation 
        HeaderImageUrl="~/Images/person.png" 
        HeaderText="Alt text for image" 
        HeaderLinkUrl="http://www.dotvvm.com" 
        IsInverted="true" 
        IsStaticTop="true">
    <bs:NavigationItem NavigateUrl="https://www.google.com/" Text="Google" />
    <bs:NavigationItem NavigateUrl="http://www.w3schools.com/html/" Text="W3 Schools" />
</bs:ResponsiveNavigation>

Sample 3: Fixed ResponsiveNavigation and Alignment

The ResponsiveNavigation has also the FixedTo property which controls whether the navbar is fixed to Top or Bottom of the screen, or fixed to Nothing (which is the default value).

The items inside the ResponsiveNavigation can also be aligned to the left or right side by placing the items into the LeftAlignedItemsTemplate and RightAlignedItemsTemplate properties.
If you need to use other items than NavigationItem (e.g. the DropDownButton, you have to place them in the LeftAlignedItemsTemplate or RightAlignedItemsTemplate element.

page.dothtml

<bs:ResponsiveNavigation HeaderText="Fixed to top" FixedTo="Top">
  <RightAlignedItemsTemplate>
    <bs:NavigationItem NavigateUrl="https://www.google.com/" Text="Google" />
  </RightAlignedItemsTemplate>
  <LeftAlignedItemsTemplate>
    <bs:NavigationItem NavigateUrl="http://www.w3schools.com/html/" Text="W3 Schools" />
  </LeftAlignedItemsTemplate>
</bs:ResponsiveNavigation>

Sample 4: DropDownButton and Form Controls in ResponsiveNavigation

You can also use other control inside the ResponsiveNavigation control. You have to place them in the LeftAlignedItemsTemplate or RightAlignedItemsTemplate elements.

There are some limitations of the Bootstrap navbar. For example, we don't recommend to use the Label properties on the <bs:Form> because it won't render correctly.

page.dothtml

<bs:ResponsiveNavigation>
  <LeftAlignedItemsTemplate>
    <bs:NavigationItem NavigateUrl="https://www.google.com/" Text="Google" IsSelected="true" />
    <bs:NavigationItem NavigateUrl="http://www.w3schools.com/html/" Text="W3 Schools" IsDisabled="true" />
    <bs:DropDownButton Text="DropDownButton">
      <Items>
        <bs:DropDownButtonItem NavigateUrl="https://www.google.com/">
          Google
        </bs:DropDownButtonItem>
        <bs:DropDownButtonItem NavigateUrl="https://github.com/riganti/dotvvm">
          DotVVM
        </bs:DropDownButtonItem>
      </Items>
    </bs:DropDownButton>
  </LeftAlignedItemsTemplate>
  <RightAlignedItemsTemplate>
    <bs:Form>
      <bs:FormGroup>
        <dot:TextBox Text="TEST" />
      </bs:FormGroup>
    </bs:Form>
  </RightAlignedItemsTemplate>
</bs:ResponsiveNavigation>

Sample 5: Responsiveness

It's possible to collapse the ResponsiveNavigation into a single button when the content cannot fit the screen.

To do so, you have to the change the value of the AllowCollapsingToButton property to true.

Optionally, you can set your own content of the collapsed button by placing in into the CollapsedButtonTemplate template. If the CollapsedButtonTemplate is not set, the standard button with three stripes will be rendered.

page.dothtml

<bs:ResponsiveNavigation 
    HeaderText="If this menu cannot fit screen it will collapse to button." 
    IsResponsivelyCollapsing="true">
  <CollapseButtonTemplate>
    <bs:GlyphIcon Icon="Arrow_down" />
  </CollapseButtonTemplate>
  <bs:NavigationItem NavigateUrl="https://www.google.cz/" Text="Google" />
  <bs:NavigationItem NavigateUrl="http://www.w3schools.com/html/" Text="W3 Schools" />
</bs:ResponsiveNavigation>

Sample 6: ResponsiveNavigation Data-Binding

The ResponsiveNavigation can be also used with the DataSource property to generate the menu items from the collection.

The TextBinding property specifies which property of the collection items will be used as the text of the menu item.

The NavigateUrlBinding property specifies which property will be used as the URL of the hyperlink.

You can also use the IsDisabledBinding to specify which property controls whether the menu item is disabled or enabled.

Also, there is the IsSelectedBinding property which controls whether the menu item is selected.

page.dothtml
ViewModel.cs

<bs:ResponsiveNavigation DataSource="{value: LinksDataSet}" IsDisabledBinding="{value: IsDisabled}" IsSelectedBinding="{value: IsSelected}"
					  TextBinding="{value: Text}" NavigateUrlBinding="{value:  NavigateUrl}">
</bs:ResponsiveNavigation>

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;

namespace DotvvmWeb.Views.Docs.Controls.bootstrap.ResponsiveNavigation.sample6
{
    public class ViewModel
    {
        public List<NavigationItem> LinksDataSet { get; set; }

        private static IQueryable<NavigationItem> GetData()
        {
            return new[]
            {
                new NavigationItem() {  IsDisabled = false, IsSelected = false, NavigateUrl = "https://www.google.com/", Text = "Google"},
                new NavigationItem() {  IsDisabled = true, IsSelected = false, NavigateUrl = "http://www.w3schools.com/html/", Text = "W3Schools"},
                new NavigationItem() {  IsDisabled = false, IsSelected = true, NavigateUrl = "https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/", Text = "Microsoft"},
                new NavigationItem() {  IsDisabled = false, IsSelected = false, NavigateUrl = "https://github.com/riganti/dotvvm", Text = "DotVVM Github"}
            }.AsQueryable();
        }

        public ViewModel()
        {
            LinksDataSet = new List<NavigationItem>();
            foreach (NavigationItem l in GetData())
            {
                LinksDataSet.Add(l);
            }
        }
    }

    public class NavigationItem
    {
        public string Text { get; set; }
        public string NavigateUrl { get; set; }
        public bool IsSelected { get; set; }
        public bool IsDisabled { get; set; }
    }
}
