Menu Manager

In ScandiPWA, the default Magento navigation is replaced with the Scandiweb Menu Manager. Menu Manager is a necessary tool that gives additional options for creating a navigation tree.

As a site visitor, you will get convenient navigation. There can be different navigation blocks on the site, if necessary. As a store owner, you are able to create an unlimited number of navigation blocks per website or store, add menu items, set URLs for them, enable/disable, set CSS class, set the order of display.

By default, if nothing is selected under the Menu to Display setting, ScnadiPWA will use the menu with the "new-main-menu" identifier.

Caching Note

The menu will be updated on the Front-End immediately after save as they are part of the ScandiPWA caching solution that will invalidate caching entries for the updated content. No cache flush or any other manual operations are necessary. Content will be visible after page refresh and new cache entry will be stored.

Available CSS classes

In the menu manager, you can set a specific CSS class to any of your menu items. When a CSS class is applied, the menu items are rendered on the front-end based on the specific style rules that are specified in the code.

Out of the box, you can use the following CSS classes with the ScandiPWA theme:

CSS class	Description
Menu_HideOnDesktop	When applied to the menu item, the menu item gets hidden on the desktop and is rendered on the mobile menu only. HINT! Use this class for the "SHOP ALL CATEGORY" option on mobile.
