</Navigation>;

Dropdown Navigation Usage

import React from 'react';
import {
  Dropdown,
  DropdownUl,
  DropdownLi,
} from '@bbc/psammead-navigation/dropdown';
import { latin } from '@bbc/gel-foundations/scripts';

<CanonicalDropdown isOpen={isOpen}>
  <DropdownUl>
    <DropdownLi
      script={latin}
      service="news"
      key="Home"
      url="/"
      active
      currentPageText="Current page"
    >
      Home
    </DropdownLi>
    <DropdownLi script={latin} service="news" key="Sport" url="/sport">
      Sport
    </DropdownLi>
  </DropdownUl>
</CanonicalDropdown>

Canonical Menu Button Usage

import React from 'react';
import { CanonicalMenuButton } from '@bbc/psammead-navigation/dropdown';
import { latin } from '@bbc/gel-foundations/scripts';

<CanonicalMenuButton
  announcedText="Menu"
  isOpen
  dir={dir}
  onClick={() => {
    console.log('Handle onClick action');
  }}
  script={latin}
/>

Amp Menu Button Usage

import React from 'react';
import { AmpMenuButton } from '@bbc/psammead-navigation/dropdown';
import { latin } from '@bbc/gel-foundations/scripts';

<AmpMenuButton
  announcedText="Menu"
  onToggle="menu.toggleVisibility"
  script={latin}
  dir={dir}
/>

Note that in order for the AmpMenuButton toggling to work correctly, an id should be added to the Navigation component. This id can be passed in as a prop to the component. Similarly, ScrollableNavigation also requires an id to be added to it.

When to use this component

The Navigation is designed to show a navigation bar on all pages, which will show all sections on a site. If there are too many items to fit on one line, the items will wrap to the next lines.

On the other hand, with ScrollableNavigation we can make the list to remain on one line and to be horizontally scrollable to allow access to further links, under 600px.

Accessibility notes

The Navigation has a navigation landmark to provide a way to identify links that are intended to be used for navigation.

We have added the role list and listitem to the NavigationUl and NavigationList respectively, due to a VoiceOver bug to reinstate the list semantics.

We have also added visually hidden text to let the user know which item in both regular and dropdown Navigation is the current page. Note the use of visually hidden text here is due to lack of support at this time for the aria-current page attribute. Also note the use of role="text" to stop text splitting in VoiceOver.

We have added an aria-expanded attribute to the menu button to indicate whether the menu is collapsed or expanded.
