How to write YAML components to customize your navbar menu?
When you enable the navbar menu builder, there are pre-write YAML components that you can use to customize your navbar. Here is a brief explanation of how to use each item.
The first item is "title," which is the text shown on the first button of your navbar menu. The default text of this button is "First Item," which you can change and rewrite.
The second item is "URL." This is the URL that the first button will be linked to. The default URL of this section is https://sonat.com, which you can change and link to any page you want.
The third item is "target," which is set to "new tab" by default. By choosing "newTab" as the target, when a user clicks on this item, it will open in a new tab.
The following two items are related to the first and second child of the first button. You can set their title, URL, target, and … as is explained above.
When satisfied with your first button, you can create your second one just like the first button. Here the default text of the second button is "Second Item," and it is linked to https://sonat.com. You can change and rewrite both title and URL.
