Foundation Header

foundation-header is a micro front-end consisting of a navigation bar and a flyout menu, with routing, account-logout capabilities, and the ability to change the current language.

Adding a header component to the template

Here is an example of a simple navigation bar with two navigation items. This header does not show additional control buttons but displays the default ones, allowing for showing submenus, the logged-in user's name, and the connection status.

Genesis

  <foundation-header></foundation-header>

Usage:

@customElement({
  name: 'header-example',

  `,
})
export class HeaderExample extends GenesisElement {
  const navItems = [{
    title: "Home",
    icon: {
      name: "home",
      variant: "solid",
    },
    navId: "header",
    placementIndex: 0,
    routePath: "home",
    routeName: "home",
