This project contains the JavaScript and styles to display a banner across the top of a page.
This banner displays a list of Canonical eco-system websites giving a user the ability to jump around the core sites easily.
Use a node package manager to install this component and then link the JS file into the head of your site, with optional settings.
The styles will automatically be injected into the page's <head>.
- Install via yarn or npm
yarn add @canonical/global-nav
...or...
npm install @canonical/global-nav --save- You can then install the library either by directly linking to it or via ES6 imports.
To consume the library directly, add a link to the JS file containing an IIFE and run the canonicalGlobalNav.createNav() function;
<script src="/node_modules/@canonical/global-nav/dist/iife.js"></script>
<script>
canonicalGlobalNav.createNav();
</script>To import it, simply call it from your site-wide JS file;
import { createNav } from '@canonical/global-nav';
createNav();The createNav function takes an object of options with the following property:
maxWidth: The max-width of the global nav element (default:68rem)
For example, to set the max-width to 80rem:
<script src="/node_modules/@canonical/global-nav/dist/index.js"></script>
<script>
canonicalGlobalNav.createNav({ maxWidth: '80rem' });
</script>hiring: A URL for a hiring page which will display a link in the header to the job page (default:false)
For example, to set the hiring to https://boards.greenhouse.io/canonical/jobs/1586585
<script src="/node_modules/@canonical/global-nav/dist/index.js"></script>
<script>
canonicalGlobalNav.createNav({
hiring: 'https://boards.greenhouse.io/canonical/jobs/1586585',
});
</script>If you're importing;
import { createNav } from '@canonical/global-nav';
createNav({ maxWidth: '80rem' });To build the JS into the /dist folder, run:
##implest way to run the site locally is to first install Docker (on Linux you may need to add your user to the docker group), and then use the ./run script:
./runOnce the containers are setup, you can visit http://127.0.0.1:8300 in your browser.
For working on Sass files and JS files , you may want to dynamically watch for changes to rebuild the dist files whenever something changes.
To setup the watcher, open a new terminal window and run:
./run watchBefore submitting your pull request, run the tests - which checks both the JS and Sass for errors.
./run test
Just because this was a bit of a pain, here is what I did.
- Shrink the svg as much as possible
- Upload it to the asset server for others - OPTIONAL
- View it in a browser and grab the source code.
- Convert the quotes from double
"to single'- CRITICAL - Encode the svg
- Add this with
data:image/svg+xml,in the right place in product-details.js
The package is versioned using semantic versioning and published to the NPM registry.
To cut a new release run;
npm version [patch|minor|major]This will trigger the prepublishonly script which will ensure requisite artefacts are built before publishing.
