Question 1

How to customize styles in vue-tree-navigation?

Accepted Answer

Use the semantic CSS classes provided, such as 'NavigationItem--active' or 'NavigationLevel--closed', to target elements in your own CSS. The README emphasizes minimal core styles, so you'll need to write custom CSS for full visual control, including hover states or animations.

Question 2

vue-tree-navigation vs other Vue tree menu libraries

Accepted Answer

vue-tree-navigation stands out for its deep vue-router integration and automatic route generation, while libraries like Vuejs Treeview might offer more UI features out-of-the-box. Choose vue-tree-navigation if router sync is critical, but opt for others if you need pre-styled components or advanced interactions like drag-and-drop.

Question 3

Can vue-tree-navigation work without vue-router?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can define items manually without vue-router, as shown in the README's manual configuration example. However, features like auto-opening levels based on URLs require vue-router to function, limiting its utility in router-less setups.

Question 4

How to add external links to vue-tree-navigation?

Accepted Answer

In manual item definitions, use the 'external' property with a URL, as demonstrated in the README with the Github example. This creates links that open in new tabs or windows, but note that router-specific features won't apply to these external items.

Question 5

Does vue-tree-navigation support dynamic menu updates?

Accepted Answer

It can update based on vue-router route changes or reactive data in Vue, but for non-route dynamic updates, you'll need to manually manage the items array. The README doesn't detail real-time data binding beyond router integration, so complex updates may require extra logic.
