Header

This component renders a responsive, Canvas-style header.

Usage

import * as React from 'react';
import {Header} from '@workday/canvas-kit-labs-react-header';
import {IconButton} from '@workday/canvas-kit-react-button';
import {Avatar} from '@workday/canvas-kit-react-avatar';
import {notificationsIcon} from '@workday/canvas-system-icons-web';
import {Button} from '@workday/canvas-kit-react-button';

<Header title="Header" brandUrl="#">
  <nav>
    <ul>
      <li className="current">
        <a href="#">Discover</a>
      </li>
      <li>
        <a href="#">Library</a>
      </li>
      <li>
        <a href="#">Create</a>
      </li>
      <li>
        <a href="#">Manage</a>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </nav>
  <IconButton
    icon={notificationsIcon}
    variant={IconButton.Variant.Circle}
    title="Notifications"
    aria-label="Notifications"
  />
  <Avatar
    onClick={() => {
      alert('clicked avatar');
    }}
    altText="Profile"
  />
  <Button variant={Button.Variant.Primary}>Sign Up</Button>
</Header>;

Special Children

nav, ul, li

For a semantic navigation menu, this component will style a child <nav> element with an un-ordered list inside (<ul>). This list can contain any number of <li> elements with <a> elements. You can visually distinguish the link that your page is currently on by adding the class name: "current" to the <li> element containing the current page link.

SystemIcon

Deprecated (but supported) - please use IconButton instead.

The Header supports Canvas SystemIcon components, but will convert them into an IconButton with the correct styling for the theme you've provided.

A Note About Buttons

Please use a Primary Canvas Button for this component's call-to-action buttons (see the usage example below).
