auroLabs - Menu

<auro-menu> is an experimental HTML custom element only available as a PRE RELEASE. Users of this element understand the risks of using a pre-released version of this element.

It exists for the purpose of letting a user select one option from a list of pre-defined options. Example, auro-menu can be used with auro-dropdown.

Installing as a direct, dev or peer dependency is up to the user installing the package. If you are unsure as to what type of dependency you should use, consider reading this stack overflow answer.

Design Token CSS Custom Property dependency

The use of any Auro custom element has a dependency on the Auro Design Tokens.

CSS Custom Property fallbacks

CSS custom properties are not supported in older browsers. For this, fallback properties are pre-generated and included with the npm.

Any update to the Auro Design Tokens will be immediately reflected with browsers that support CSS custom properties, legacy browsers will require updated components with pre-generated fallback properties.

Define dependency in project component

Install bundled assets from CDN

In cases where the project is not able to process JS assets, there are pre-processed assets available for use. Two bundles are available -- auro-menu__bundled.js for modern browsers and auro-menu__bundled.es5.js for legacy browsers (including IE11).

Since the legacy bundle includes many polyfills that are not needed by modern browsers, we recommend you load these bundles using differential serving so that the browser only loads the bundle it needs. To accomplish this, the script tag for the modern bundle should have type="module" and the script tag for the legacy bundle should have the nomodule attribute. See the example below.

Bundle example code

NOTE: Be sure to replace @latest in the URL with the version of the asset you want. @latest is NOT aware of any MAJOR releases, use at your own risk.
