::
::note
You can also pass an array of arrays to the `items` prop to display groups of items.
::
::tip
Each item can take a `children` array of objects with the following properties to create submenus:
- `label: string`
- `description?: string`
- `icon?: string`
- `onSelect?(e: Event): void`
- `class?: any`
::
### Orientation
Use the `orientation` prop to change the orientation of the NavigationMenu.
::note
When orientation is `vertical`, an [Accordion](/components/accordion) component is used to display each group. You can control the open state of each item using the `open` and `defaultOpen` properties and change the behavior using the [`collapsible`](/components/accordion#collapsible) and [`type`](/components/accordion#multiple) props.

::
::note
Groups will be spaced when orientation is `horizontal` and separated when orientation is `vertical`.
::
### Collapsed
In `vertical` orientation, use the `collapsed` prop to collapse the NavigationMenu, this can be useful in a sidebar for example.
::note
You can use the [`tooltip`](#with-tooltip-in-items) and [`popover`](#with-popover-in-items) props to display more information on the collapsed items.

::
::note
In this example, the `border-b` class is applied to display a border in `horizontal` orientation, this is not done by default to let you have a clean slate to work with.

In `vertical` orientation, the `highlight` prop only highlights the border of active children.

## Examples
### With tooltip in items
When orientation is `vertical` and the menu is `collapsed`, you can set the `tooltip` prop to `true` to display a [Tooltip](/components/tooltip) around items with their label but you can also use the `tooltip` property on each item to override the default tooltip.
You can pass any property from the [Tooltip](/components/tooltip) component globally or on each item.

### With popover in items
When orientation is `vertical` and the menu is `collapsed`, you can set the `popover` prop to `true` to display a [Popover](/components/popover) around items with their children but you can also use the `popover` property on each item to override the default popover.
You can pass any property from the [Popover](/components/popover) component globally or on each item.

::tip{to="#with-content-slot"}
You can use the `#content` slot to customize the content of the popover in the `vertical` orientation.
::
### Control active item
You can control the active item by using the `default-value` prop or the `v-model` directive with the index of the item.
::component-example
---
collapse: true
name: 'navigation-menu-model-value-example'
---
::
::note
In this example, leveraging [`defineShortcuts`](/composables/define-shortcuts), you can switch the active item by pressing :kbd{value="1"}, :kbd{value="2"}, or :kbd{value="3"}.
::
::tip
You can also pass the `value` of one of the items if provided.
::
### With custom slot
Use the `slot` property to customize a specific item.
You will have access to the following slots:
- `#{{ item.slot }}`{lang="ts-type"}
- `#{{ item.slot }}-leading`{lang="ts-type"}
- `#{{ item.slot }}-label`{lang="ts-type"}
- `#{{ item.slot }}-trailing`{lang="ts-type"}
- `#{{ item.slot }}-content`{lang="ts-type"}
::component-example
---
name: 'navigation-menu-custom-slot-example'
---
::
::tip{to="#slots"}
You can also use the `#item`, `#item-leading`, `#item-label`, `#item-trailing` and `#item-content` slots to customize all items.
::
### With content slot
Use the `#item-content` slot or the `slot` property (`#{{ item.slot }}-content`) to customize the content of a specific item.
::component-example
---
collapse: true
name: 'navigation-menu-content-slot-example'
---
::
::note
In this example, we add the `sm:w-(--reka-navigation-menu-viewport-width)` class on the `viewport` to have a dynamic width. This requires to set a width on the content's first child.
