Megamenu

A megamenu is a large horizontal menu. Each item opens a popover that shows a large group of navigation links. Use one megamenu at the top of the page. Each popover can contain a daisyUI menu or custom content. Use a megamenu on large screens. On small screens, hide it and show its content in a dropdown or drawer.

Rules

• {MODIFIER} is optional. It can include one modifier class name and one size class name.
• You must include the megamenu-active span. It is the indicator that moves below the active item.
• Each button must have a related popover. Its ID must be the same as the popovertarget value. Do not use an HTML ID more than once.
• {CONTENT} can include a daisyUI menu, such as <ul class="menu"><li><a>List item 1</a></li></ul>. It can also include custom content.
• You can put a horizontal menu in the popover. For example, use <ul class="menu menu-horizontal"><li><a>List item 1</a></li></ul>. You can also use a different daisyUI menu variation.
• On small screens, use max-sm:megamenu-vertical to hide the megamenu. When it is visible, it has a vertical layout. The button with popovertarget="my-megamenu-1" opens the megamenu with id="my-megamenu-1" popover.
• On large screens, use sm:hidden to hide the button. The megamenu has a horizontal layout. Each button in the megamenu opens its related popover.
• A megamenu can contain a maximum of 10 popovers.
• To hide the arrow on each button, add after:content-none to the buttons.
