Using Navie with Twig

    ulClass: 'class',
    ulAttributes: {
        'style': 'margin-top: 10;'
    },
    ulChildClass: 'class',
    ulChildAttributes: {
        'style': 'margin-top: 10;'
    },
    listClass: 'class',
    listAttributes: {
        'style': 'margin-top: 10;'
    },
    linkClass: 'class',
    linkAttributes: {
        'style': 'margin-top: 10;'
    },
    linkActiveClass: 'active'
}

Examples

Render a navie list:

{{ 
    craft.navie.render('main', {
        ulChildAttributes: {
            'style': 'margin-top: 0.25rem;',
            'data-option': 'custom data option',
        }
    }) 
}}

Get navie list items raw

craft.navie.items(criteria) is used to get a list items. This allows you Check Craft Element queries for more info. Each item

Examples

Get all items

{% 
    set items = craft.navie.items()
        .list('main')
        .all()
%}

Get items limited by level

{% 
    set items = craft.navie.items()
        .list('main')
        .level(1)
%}

Get all items Eager loaded

{%
    set items = craft.navie.items()
        .list('main')
        .with(['entry', 'category', 'asset'])
        .all() 
%}

Now you are able to use items.getElement().title without extra queries. This is also posible without eager loading but at a peformance cost.

    target,
    children {
      id,
      url,
      title,
      target,
      ... on main_List { # Main is list handle
        classes
      }
    }
  }
}
