Menu

Plain HTML — CSS classes

The Tailwind v4 plugin. Works in any framework or none — Rails, Django, PHP, Go, a static file. This path is complete for Menu — it needs no JavaScript, so the classes below are the whole story.

/* in your CSS */
@import "tailwindcss";
@plugin "@wizeworks/silicaui";

Root class menu, with 1 modifier:

• .menu
• .menu-title

React

Typed components over those same classes, with behavior and accessibility from Base UI.

npm i @wizeworks/silicaui-react

import { Menu } from "@wizeworks/silicaui-react";

Source of the demo above

The exact file that renders the examples above, so it can never drift from them. It imports a few of this site’s own layout helpers (../lib/…), so read it for the component calls rather than copying it whole.

import { Menu, MenuItem, MenuTitle } from "@wizeworks/silicaui-react";
import { Section } from "../lib/Section";

export function MenuDemo() {
    return (
        <Section title="Real use · sidebar navigation">
            <Menu className="max-w-xs">
                <MenuTitle>Workspace</MenuTitle>
                <MenuItem>
                    <a href="#" aria-current="page">
                        Overview
                    </a>
                </MenuItem>
                <MenuItem>
                    <a href="#">Projects</a>
                </MenuItem>
                <MenuItem>
                    <a href="#">Team</a>
                </MenuItem>
                <MenuTitle>Account</MenuTitle>
                <MenuItem>
                    <a href="#">Settings</a>
                </MenuItem>
                <MenuItem>
                    <button type="button">Sign out</button>
                </MenuItem>
            </Menu>
        </Section>
    );
}

Vanilla — node tree to HTML

Menu — a vertical <ul class="menu"> of link items (sidebars / popover bodies). Build a node tree, project it with toHtml(), and let the zero-dependency runtime hydrate it. This is the path for generated or user-authored documents — a site builder, CMS output, a static export.

npm i @wizeworks/silicaui-html @wizeworks/silicaui-behaviors

import { atom, toHtml } from "@wizeworks/silicaui-html";

const node = atom("Menu", "menu", { /* props */ });
const markup = toHtml(node);

Styling on this path is the class string in the second argument — the same classes as the Plain HTML section above. There is no color prop here; write "menu menu-primary" rather than passing a colour as a prop.

nothing — this one is static markup
