Simple Navigation for Bootstrap

This gem adds a renderer for Simple Navigation to output markup compatible with materialize.

Getting Started

For Rails >= 3, simply add this gem to your Gemfile:

gem 'simple-navigation-materialize'

and run

bundle install

Follow the configuration instructions on the Simple Navigation wiki for initial configuration.

To use the Materialize renderer, specify it in your view:

render_navigation :renderer => :materialize

See below for a more complete example.

Additional Functionality

Icons

In addition you may specify an :icon attribute on your navigation items, either as an array or string, containing materialize icon names, to add an icon to the item.

Dropdowns

If you wish to use dropdowns in your navbar, don't forget to set expand_all: true on your render_navigation.

Examples

To create a navigation menu, you might do something like this:

SimpleNavigation::Configuration.run do |navigation|  
  navigation.items do |primary|
    primary.item :music, 'Music', musics_path
    primary.item :dvds, 'Dvds', dvds_path, :split => true do |dvds|
      dvds.item :action, 'Action', dvds_action_path
      dvds.item :drama, 'Drama', dvds_drama_path
    end
    primary.item :books, 'Books', :icon => 'book' do |books|
      books.item :fiction, 'Fiction', books_fiction_path
      books.item :history, 'History', books_history_path
    end
  end
end
