The menu bar widget shows a configured menu in the form of a horizontal bar with items. Items can have subitems in which case the main item can be expanded. Subitems cannot have subitems again. In the end a Menu Item points to either the page or the microflow that will opened or started when the item is clicked.
Common Properties
Name
The internal name of the widget. You can use this to give sensible names to widgets. The name property also appears in the generated HTML: the widget DOM element automatically includes the class ‘mx-name-{NAME}’, which can be useful for Selenium testing.
Class
The class property allows you to specify a cascading style sheet (CSS) class for the widget. This class will be applied to the widget in the browser and the widget will get the corresponding styling. You can use more than one class, separated by a space. The classes should be classes from the theme that is used in the project. Using the class property overrules the default styling of the widget.
1. Default styling defined by the theme the project uses.
2. The 'Class' property of the widget.
3. The 'Style' property of the widget.
Style
The style property allows you to specify additional CSS styling. If a class is also specified, this styling is applied after the class.
