Responsive Desktop/Mobile Menu

Overview


The responsive mobile/desktop menu is a drop down menu for station navigation via ords. You can modify the look and feel using a JSON config file or copying it directly into the appropriate property. The menu is responsive to screen size. When screen size is less than 1024px, the mobile click menu becomes available. Before you start, copy the .jar file to your modules directory. Restart the station and Workbench.

JSON Editing


1. To help build your menu configuration use an online JSON editor like: https://jsoneditoronline.org/

Copy and paste the above JSON and modify.

2. After you have made changes to the JSON, set the config property value of the menu: IMPORTANT. You should remove all carriage returns and line breaks from the generated configuration before pasting. You can do this by using a text editor like Notepad++. In Notepad++ do CTRL+H (make sure extended Search mode is selected) to find and replace \r and \n with blank. This will remove all carriage returns and line breaks.

3. For the hyperlinks, valid ords must be used. e.g.:
station:|slot:/Drivers/NiagaraNetwork/AHU1

File Config

You can point the menu to a file that exists on the station. Valid values are ords e.g.:
file:^responsiveMenu/config.txt
If you do not specify a file reference the config property will be used instead.

* Workbench Viewing Workaround

Niagara Px View doesn't allow the menu items to appear over other items, however, there is a workaround:
If you're running 4.3 or above, there should be a "toggle preview" button at the end of the toolbar when looking at a Px graphic. This will show you your Px page rendered in a browser.
