{{% note "Lazy Blogger"%}}
|
|||
|
|
If all you want is a simple menu for your sections, see the ["Section Menu for Lazy Bloggers" in Menu Templates](/templates/menu-templates/#section-menu-for-lazy-bloggers).
|
|||
|
|
{{% /note %}}
|
|||
|
|
|

|
|
You can do this:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Place content in one or many menus
|
|||
|
|
* Handle nested menus with unlimited depth
|
|||
|
|
* Create menu entries without being attached to any content
|
|||
|
|
* Distinguish active element (and active branch)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## What is a Menu in Hugo?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A **menu** is a named array of menu entries accessible by name via the [`.Site.Menus` site variable][sitevars]. For example, you can access your site's `main` menu via `.Site.Menus.main`.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
{{% note "Menus on Multilingual Sites" %}}
|
|||
|
|
If you make use of the [multilingual feature](/content-management/multilingual/), you can define language-independent menus.
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
See the [Menu Entry Properties][me-props] for all the variables and functions related to a menu entry.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Add content to menus
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Hugo allows you to add content to a menu via the content's [front matter](/content-management/front-matter/).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Simple
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If all you need to do is add an entry to a menu, the simple form works well.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### A Single Menu
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
---
|
|||
|
|
menu: "main"
|
|||
|
|
---
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### Multiple Menus
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
---
|
|||
|
|
menu: ["main", "footer"]
|
|||
|
|
---
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### Advanced
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```

|

|
docs:
|
|||
|
|
parent: 'extras'
|
|||
|
|
weight: 20
|
|||
|
|
---
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Add Non-content Entries to a Menu
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can also add entries to menus that aren’t attached to a piece of content. This takes place in your Hugo project's [`config` file][config].
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Here’s an example snippet pulled from a configuration file:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
{{< code-toggle file="config" >}}
|
|||
|
|
[[menu.main]]
|
|||
|
|
name = "about hugo"
|
|||
|
|
pre = "<i class='fa fa-heart'></i>"
|
|||
|
|
weight = -110
|
|||
|
|
identifier = "about"
|
|||
|
|
url = "/about/"
|
|||
|
|
[[menu.main]]
|
|||
|
|
name = "getting started"
|
|||
|
|
pre = "<i class='fa fa-road'></i>"
|
|||
|
|
post = "<span class='alert'>New!</span>"
|
|||
|
|
weight = -100
|
|||
|
|
url = "/getting-started/"
|
|||
|
|
{{< /code-toggle >}}
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
{{% note %}}
|
|||
|
|
The URLs must be relative to the context root. If the `baseURL` is `https://example.com/mysite/`, then the URLs in the menu must not include the context root `mysite`. Using an absolute URL will override the baseURL. If the value used for `URL` in the above example is `https://subdomain.example.com/`, the output will be `https://subdomain.example.com`.
|
|||
|
|
{{% /note %}}
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Nesting
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
All nesting of content is done via the `parent` field.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The parent of an entry should be the identifier of another entry. The identifier should be unique (within a menu).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The following order is used to determine an Identifier:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
`.Name > .LinkTitle > .Title`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This means that `.Title` will be used unless `.LinkTitle` is present, etc. In practice, `.Name` and `.Identifier` are only used to structure relationships and therefore never displayed.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In this example, the top level of the menu is defined in your [site `config` file][config]. All content entries are attached to one of these entries via the `.Parent` field.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Render Menus
