Standard navigation convention(s) for Angular?

[Rich Leach]

Hi

After getting my routing code to work I realized that I wasn't seeing any docs about Navigation, or specifically anything Angular regarding automated menu development.... Some sites I've built in the past have had rather detailed and complex menus based on permissions, content, current URL, etc....

Are there any Angular conventions that the community uses to build out advanced navigation? Or is the solution to simply use manual Javascript calls to render what I need?

Thanks in advance,

Rich

Hi Rich,

I'm not aware of a broadly used convention. However, you can add auxiliary data to each route, and also, you can traverse the router using code. Knowing those 2 things enable you to create a NAV component that had the router injected, and build out the needed layout from the router itself.

For most of my projects, I found that I had to do both, a part that's generated from the router, and a 'static'  part. Other projects have a more dynamic need and use a service to add/remove things from the navigation.
