About

simple-navigation is a ruby library for creating navigations (with multiple levels) for your Ruby on Rails application.

Some of the key features include:

• define your navigation in a config file, not inside the views
• create as many navigation levels as you like
• render all your navigation levels as a nested tree or render each level separately.
• automatic highlighting of the active navigation item

How does it work?

simple-navigation basically works like this: You define your navigation with all its levels in the config-file (config/navigation.rb by default). In the view you render your configured navigation using the helper-method render_navigation. By default the navigation is rendered as an Html list. You can style the list according to your needs using CSS (or Sass, of course).
