How to install

Install the library in your project:

$ npm i -D vue-stripe-menu

// $ yarn add -D vue-stripe-menu
// $ pnpm add -D vue-stripe-menu

Import components:

// >>> Install globally - .js file <<<

import { createApp } from 'vue'
import VueStripeMenu from 'vue-stripe-menu'

createApp({}).use(VueStripeMenu)

// >>> Install locally - .vue file <<<

import { VsmMenu, VsmMob } from 'vue-stripe-menu'

export default {
  components: {
    VsmMenu, VsmMob
  }
}

// Optionally if you don't want to use @import in your
// <style> section (because its scoped for example):
// import 'vue-stripe-menu/css'

Add the component:

<template>
  <vsm-menu :menu="menu">
    <template #default="{ item }">
      <div style="width: 300px; padding: 30px">
        Dropdown content - {{ item.title }}
      </div>
    </template>
    <template #before-nav>
      <li class="vsm-mob-full">
        Left side
      </li>
    </template>
    <template #after-nav>
      <li class="vsm-mob-hide">
        Right side
      </li>
      <vsm-mob>
        <div style="min-height: 200px; padding: 30px">
          Mobile Content
        </div>
      </vsm-mob>
    </template>
  </vsm-menu>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  data() {
    return {
      menu: [
        { title: 'Item1', dropdown: 'dropdown-1' },
        { title: 'Item2', dropdown: 'dropdown-2' },
        { title: 'Just link', attributes: { href: '#clicked' } },
      ]
    }
  }
}
</script>

Add css/scss styles:

// >>> SCSS style (required sass-loader, node-sass) <<<
// https://github.com/oleksiikhr/vue-stripe-menu/blob/main/src/scss/_variables.scss
// $vsm-transition: .5s;

@import "~vue-stripe-menu/scss";

// >>> CSS style <<<
// @import 'vue-stripe-menu/css';

.vsm-menu {
  max-width: 1024px;
  width: 100%;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

.vsm-nav {
  margin: 0 10px;
}

.vsm-link-container {
  display: flex;
  flex: 1 1 auto;
  justify-content: center;
}

@media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
  .vsm-mob-show {
    display: block;
  }
  .vsm-mob-hide {
    display: none;
  }
  .vsm-mob-full {
    flex-grow: 1;
  }
}
