Nuxt Hatchly Navigation Module

Module to easily fetch and access navigations from the hatchly/navigation api

Installation

yarn add @hatchly/nuxt-navigation-module

Register the module in your nuxt applications config file:

module.exports = {
    // Nuxt config
    modules: {
        // Other Modules
        ['@hatchly/nuxt-navigation-module', {
            // Options
        }],
    },

    hatchly: {
        navigation: {
            // Options can also be defined here
        },
    },
};

Add the API url to your .env:

API_URL=http://my-application.localhost

Options

The options object can contain the following values:

{
    baseURL: '',
    browserBaseURL: '',
    apiPath: '',
},

Each option is described below.

baseURL

The url of your Hatchly site. If browserBaseURL is not provided this url will be used for both server side and client side fetching.

• Default: process.env.API_URL
• Type: string

browserBaseURL

The public url of your Hatchly site.

• Default: process.env.API_URL_BROWSER
• Type: string

apiPath

The path to the api modules hatchly-path value. This can be modified in the Hatchly api config file, so make sure this path corresponds to that value.

• Default: '_hatchly/api'
• Alias: hatchly.apiPath
• Type: string

Runtime config

If using nuxt runtime config to inject env variables at runtime, each of the above options can be overwritten in both publicRuntimeConfig and privateRuntimeConfig objects, for example:

module.exports = {
    publicRuntimeConfig: {
        hatchly: {
            // Inherit options for all hatchly modules
            baseURL: process.env.API_URL,
            
            navigation: {
                // Overwrite options for the navigation module
                baseURL: process.env.API_URL,
            },
        },    
    },
};

Usage

All navigations are downloaded server side on page load.

To access a navigation you can use the global $nav() method:

<ul v-if="$nav('main')">
    <li v-for="link in $nav('main')" :key="link.id">
        <component :is="link.tag" v-bind="link.attributes">
            {{ link.title }}
        </component>
        <ul>
            <li v-for="child in link.children" :key="child.id">
                <component :is="child.tag" v-bind="child.attributes">
                    {{ child.title }}
                </component>
            </li>
        </ul>
    </li>
</ul>
