## Usage
Follow below steps to add multi level list in your project

#### 1. Import NgMaterialMultilevelMenuModule

You need to import the ```NgMaterialMultilevelMenuModule``` in the module of your app where you want to use it.

```typescript        
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

/* Import the module*/
import { NgMaterialMultilevelMenuModule } from 'ng-material-multilevel-menu';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

@NgModule({
    declarations: [
    AppComponent
    ],
    imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    NgMaterialMultilevelMenuModule // Import here
    ],
    providers: [],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
```

#### 2. Use <ng-material-multilevel-menu> in your HTML

In your HTML: Use the ```<ng-material-multilevel-menu>``` wherever you like in your project.

```html        
<ng-material-multilevel-menu  
    [configuration]='config' 
    [items]='appitems'
    (selectedItem)="selectedItem($event)" 
    (menuIsReady)="menuIsReady($event)" 
    (selectedLabel)="selectedLabel($event)">
</ng-material-multilevel-menu>
```
        
#### 3. Structure of array to display the list

```typescript
appitems = [
    {
        label: 'NPM',
        imageIcon: '/assets/batman.jpg',
        link: 'https://www.npmjs.com/package/ng-material-multilevel-menu',
        externalRedirect: true,
        hrefTargetType: '_blank' // _blank|_self|_parent|_top|framename
    },
    {
        label: 'Item 1 (with Font awesome icon)',
        faIcon: 'fab fa-500px',
        items: [
            {
                label: 'Item 1.1',
                link: '/item-1-1',
                faIcon: 'fab fa-accusoft'
            },
            {
                label: 'Item 1.2',
                faIcon: 'fab fa-accessible-icon',
                disabled: true,
                items: [
                    {
                        label: 'Item 1.2.1',
                        link: '/item-1-2-1',
                        faIcon: 'fa-allergies' // Font awesome default prefix is fas
                    },
                    {
                        label: 'Item 1.2.2',
                        faIcon: 'fas fa-ambulance',
                        items: [
                            {
                                label: 'Item 1.2.2.1',
                                faIcon: 'fas fa-anchor',  // Still you can specify if you want to
                                onSelected: function() {
                                    console.log('Item 1.2.2.1');
                                }
                            }
                        ]
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    },
    {
        label: 'Item 2',
        icon: 'alarm',
        items: [
        {
            label: 'Item 2.1',
            link: '/item-2-1',
            icon: 'favorite_border',
            activeIcon: 'favorite',
            disabled: true,
        },
        {
            label: 'Item 2.2',
            link: '/item-2-2',
            icon: 'favorite_border',
            activeIcon: 'favorite',
            navigationExtras: {
                queryParams: { order: 'popular', filter: 'new' },
            }
        }
        ]
    },
    {
        label: 'Item 3',
        icon: 'offline_pin',
        onSelected: function() {
            console.log('Item 3');
        }
    },
    {
        label: 'Item 4',
        link: '/item-4',
        icon: 'star_rate',
        hidden: true
    }
];
```

## API
- Using ```configuration```, You can customise the appearance of the list.
    * ```paddingAtStart: boolean``` => *[optional]* If you don't want padding at the start of the list item, then you can give ```false```. The default value will be ```true```.
    * ```interfaceWithRoute: boolean``` => *[required]* only if you want to use Angular Routing with this menu.
    * ```highlightOnSelect: boolean``` => *[optional]* If you want to highlight the clicked item in the list, then you can do that by making it ```true```. The default value will be ```false```.
    * ```useDividers: boolean``` => *[optional]* If you want to the list to have dividers. The default value will be ```true```.
    * ```collapseOnSelect: boolean;``` => *[optional]* You have the option to collapse another parent when clicked on the current parent. The default value will be ```false```. 
    * ```rtlLayout: boolean;``` => *[optional]* whether display is Right To Left. The default value will be ```false```. 
    * ```classname: string;``` => *[optional]* You can give your own custom class name in order to modify the list appearance. 
    * ```listBackgroundColor: string;``` => *[optional]* You can apply custom color to the background of the list.
    * ```fontColor: string;``` => *[optional]* Changes the color of Text and icons inside the list.
    * ```backgroundColor: string;``` => *[optional]* This will change the background color list container.
    * ```selectedListFontColor: string;``` => *[optional]* This will change the font color of selected list item.

Below is example how you can apply different background and Font colors,
```typescript
config = {
    paddingAtStart: true,
    interfaceWithRoute: true,
    classname: 'my-custom-class',
    listBackgroundColor: `rgb(208, 241, 239)`,
    fontColor: `rgb(8, 54, 71)`,
    backgroundColor: `rgb(208, 241, 239)`,
    selectedListFontColor: `red`,
    highlightOnSelect: true,
    collapseOnSelect: true,
    useDividers: false,
    rtlLayout: false
};

```

## Misc

### 1. Exapand/ Collapse all Menu
You can expand all the menu and Collapse all the menus. Below is example how you can do that,
```typescript
import { MultilevelMenuService, ExpandCollapseStatusEnum } from 'ng-material-multilevel-menu';

export class AppComponent {
    constructor(
        private multilevelMenuService: MultilevelMenuService
    ) {}

setExpandCollapseStatus(type: ExpandCollapseStatusEnum) {
        this.multilevelMenuService.setMenuExapandCollpaseStatus(type);
    }
}
```
### 2. Select Menu By ID
You can expand all the menu and Collapse all the menus. Below is example how you can do that,
```typescript
import { MultilevelMenuService, MultilevelNodes } from 'ng-material-multilevel-menu';

export class AppComponent {
    menuWithID: MultilevelNodes[] = null

constructor(
        private multilevelMenuService: MultilevelMenuService
    ) {}

menuIsReady(menus: MultilevelNodes[]) {
        this.menuWithID = menus;
    }

selectMenuID(MenuID){
        this.multilevelMenuService.selectMenuByID(MenuID);
    }

}
```

### 3. Building Custom Templates
In this section, you will find useful information if you are planning to write your own templates.

1. First and very important is `MultilevelNodes` interface, every menu item implements this interface. Make sure you look into each property of this interface when building custom menu templates. For example properties like `isSelected`, `hasChilden`, `expanded`, `disabled`, `items`, `label`, and so on are extremely helpful, have look into some demos [here](https://multilevel-menu-demo.web.app/pages/layout-variations/demo-six/version-one).
2. You actually don't have to write *Slide-In*/ *Slide-Out*, *Arrow Rotation* animation. The module exports these animations out of the box, so you can import them and use it as shown below.

**demo.component.ts:**
```typescript
import {SlideInOut, ExpandedRTL, ExpandedLTR } from 'ng-material-multilevel-menu';

@Component({
    selector: 'app-demo',
    templateUrl: './demo.component.html',
    styleUrls: ['./demo.component.css'],
    animations: [
      SlideInOut,
      ExpandedLTR,
      ExpandedRTL,
    ]
})
```
3. You have decided to write a custom template, then you have to write the corresponding CSS for the same.
4. Below is a very simple example of the custom menu templates,

**demo.component.html:**
```html
 <ng-material-multilevel-menu [items]='appitems' [configuration]='config' (selectedItem)="selectedItem($event)">
    <ng-template #listTemplate let-item="item" let-configuration="configuration">
        <div class="my-cool-menu-item" [dir]="configuration.rtlLayout  ? 'rtl' : 'ltr'">
            <div class="title-and-image">
                <div class="icon-container">
                    <span [ngClass]="getClass(item)"></span>
                </div>
                <div class="label-container">
                    <span>{{item.label}}</span>
                </div>
            </div>
            <div class="icon-arrow-container" *ngIf='item.hasChilden'>
                <mat-icon *ngIf="!configuration.rtlLayout" [@ExpandedLTR]="item.expanded ? 'yes' : 'no'">
                    keyboard_arrow_down
                </mat-icon>
                <mat-icon *ngIf="configuration.rtlLayout" [@ExpandedRTL]="item.expanded ? 'yes' : 'no'">
                    keyboard_arrow_down
                </mat-icon>
            </div>
        </div>
    </ng-template>
</ng-material-multilevel-menu>
```

**demo.component.ts:**
```typescript
import { Component } from '@angular/core';

import { MultilevelNodes, Configuration, ExpandedRTL, ExpandedLTR } from 'ng-material-multilevel-menu';

@Component({
    selector: 'app-demo',
    templateUrl: './demo.component.html',
    styleUrls: ['./demo.component.css'],
    animations: [ExpandedRTL, ExpandedLTR]
})
export class DemoComponent  {
    appitems: MultilevelNodes[] = [
        ...
        {
        label: 'Item 3',
        faIcon: 'fas fa-anchor',
        }
        ...
    ];

config: Configuration = {
        rtlLayout: true,
        customTemplate: true,
    }

constructor() { }

getClass(item) {
        return {
            [item.faIcon]: true
        }
    }

selectedItem($event) {
        console.log($event);
    }
}
```

**demo.component.css:**
```css

.my-cool-menu-item {
    display: flex;
    padding-left: 10px;
    padding-right: 10px;
    border-bottom: solid 1px rgba(0,0,0,.12);
    height: 48px;
}

.my-cool-menu-item .title-and-image {
    width: 100%;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: flex-start;
}

.my-cool-menu-item .title-and-image .icon-container {
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    justify-content: center;
}

div[dir=rtl] .icon-container {
    padding-left: 5px;
}

div[dir=ltr] .icon-container {
    padding-right: 5px;
}

.my-cool-menu-item .title-and-image .label-container {
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    justify-content: center;
}

.my-cool-menu-item .icon-arrow-container {
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
}
```
