Usage Patterns

Basic

import { navigationMenuTriggerStyle, NavigationMenu, NavigationMenuList, NavigationMenuItem, NavigationMenuContent, NavigationMenuTrigger, NavigationMenuLink, NavigationMenuIndicator, NavigationMenuViewport } from "@tesseract-nexus/tesserix-ui" export function Example() { return <navigationMenuTriggerStyle /> }

Do / Don’t

Do

// Compose with domain wrappers in product code <navigationMenuTriggerStyle className="w-full" />

Don’t

// Avoid one-off hardcoded values that bypass tokens <navigationMenuTriggerStyle className="bg-[#123456] text-[#fafafa] px-[13px]" />

Token / Theming Mapping

  • Color tokens: —primary, —secondary, —muted, —destructive, —foreground, —background
  • Shape tokens: —radius
  • Border/input tokens: —border, —input, —ring
  • Spacing and typography: Tailwind scale via design-system preset

Interaction Test Checklist

  1. Interaction: click/keyboard activation for primary paths.
  2. Focus: visible focus styles and logical tab order.
  3. Variants: core variants and sizes render correctly.
  4. Disabled/error states: behavior and ARIA attributes are correct.
  5. Regression: Storybook visual check for primary states.

Accessibility

  • Verify keyboard behavior for all interactive states.
  • Ensure labels and semantic roles are present in consuming screens.
  • Validate focus treatment and screen-reader output during QA.
