Horizontal Navigation

The most common navigation pattern for websites and applications.

  searchEnabled: true,
  themeToggle: true,
  githubUrl: 'https://github.com/your-org/amphibious',
  githubStars: '1.2k',
  currentPath: '/docs/'
});

Navigation Styles

Style 1: Gradient Navigation

Style 2: Minimal with Accent

Style 3: Dark Navigation

Vertical Navigation

Ideal for sidebars, admin panels, and documentation sites.

Main Content Area

The vertical navigation works great for admin interfaces and documentation sites where you need to display many navigation items in a hierarchical structure.

<nav>
  <ul class="vertical">
    <li><a href="#" class="aiab-active">Dashboard</a></li>
    <li>
      <a href="#">Products</a>
      <ul>
        <li><a href="#">All Products</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Add New</a></li>
      </ul>
    </li>
  </ul>
</nav>

Help users understand their location within the site hierarchy.

Default Breadcrumbs

Alternative Separators

<nav>
  <ul class="aiab-breadcrumb">
    <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Products</a></li>
    <li><a href="#" class="aiab-active">Current Page</a></li>
  </ul>
</nav>

<!-- Alternative separators -->
<ul class="aiab-breadcrumb breadcrumb-slash">...</ul>
<ul class="aiab-breadcrumb breadcrumb-arrow">...</ul>
<ul class="aiab-breadcrumb breadcrumb-dot">...</ul>

Mobile Navigation

Responsive navigation patterns optimized for mobile devices.

Mobile Menu Demo

Mobile Device Preview

Mobile navigation collapses into a hamburger menu on small screens. Tap the menu icon to toggle.

Responsive Behavior: The navigation automatically adapts to screen size. Horizontal menus become vertical, dropdowns become accordions, and complex navigation collapses into a mobile-friendly hamburger menu.

Mega Menu

Large dropdown menus for complex site structures.

Mega Menu Navigation

Navigation that stays visible when scrolling.

The navigation above will stick to the top when you scroll.
