import $ from 'jquery';
                      import MetisMenu from 'metismenu';
                      // OR
                      import { MetisMenu } from 'metismenu';

    triggerElement: '.faq-link',
    parentTrigger: '.faq-item',
    subMenu: '.faq-answer'
  });

});


```

--------------------------------

### Load Menu Items with Ajax

Source: https://onokumus.github.io/metismenu/mm-ajax.html

Initializes MetisMenu and then uses an Ajax call to load menu items from 'demo-ajax.html'. After loading, it disposes of the old menu, appends the new content, and reinitializes MetisMenu. The button is disabled after the first click.

```javascript
$('#menu').metisMenu();

$("#ajaxButton").one('click', function() {
  var $this = $(this);
  $.ajax({
    url: "demo-ajax.html",
    success: function(result) {

      $('#menu').metisMenu('dispose');
      $("#menu").append(result);

      $('#menu').metisMenu();
      $this.attr('disabled', 'disabled');
    }
  });
});
```

--------------------------------

### Initialize Folder View with MetisMenu

Source: https://onokumus.github.io/metismenu/mm-folder.html

Use this JavaScript snippet to initialize the MetisMenu plugin for a folder view. The `toggle: false` option prevents automatic opening of the first item on load.

```javascript
<script>
  $(function () {

    $('.metisFolder').metisMenu({
      toggle: false
    });

  });
</script>
```

--------------------------------

### Initialize MetisMenu with RTL Support

Source: https://onokumus.github.io/metismenu/mm-dispose.html

This snippet demonstrates removing a specific menu item and then disposing of the MetisMenu instance. It also shows re-initializing the menu after element removal. Use 'one' for click events to ensure it only runs once.

```javascript
$('#menu1').metisMenu();

$('#deleteElem').one('click', function (event) {

  $(this).removeClass('btn-danger')
    .addClass('btn-success')
    .html('Menu 1 removed')
    .attr('disabled', 'disabled');

  $('#menu1').metisMenu('dispose');

  $('#menu1 #removable').remove();

  $('#menu1').metisMenu();
});
```

--------------------------------

```

--------------------------------

### Load Submenu Items with Ajax

Source: https://onokumus.github.io/metismenu/mm-ajax.html

Initializes MetisMenu for '#menu2' and then iterates through elements with a 'data-url' attribute. On click, it prevents the default action, fetches content via Ajax using the 'data-url', disposes of the current menu, appends the loaded content to the parent list item, and reinitializes MetisMenu.

```javascript
$('#menu2').metisMenu();

$('[data-url]').each(function(){
    $(this).one('click', function(event){
      event.preventDefault();
      var $this = $(this);
      var url = $this.attr('data-url');
      console.log(url);

      $.ajax({
        url: url,
        success: function(result) {

          $('#menu2').metisMenu('dispose');
          $this.parent('li').append(result);

          $('#menu2').metisMenu();

        }
      });

    });
});

```

--------------------------------

### Include jQuery

Source: https://onokumus.github.io/metismenu/mm-docs.html

Source: https://onokumus.github.io/metismenu/index.html

Set the `toggle` option to `false` to disable the auto-collapse behavior, allowing multiple submenus to be open simultaneously.

```javascript
$("#metismenu").metisMenu({
               toggle: false
             });
```

--------------------------------

Apply the `has-arrow` class to anchor elements within your menu to display expand/collapse arrows.

```html
<ul id="metismenu">
                      <li class="mm-active">
                       <a class="has-arrow" href="#" aria-expanded="true">Menu 1</a>
                       <ul>
                       ...
                       </ul>
                      </li>
                      <li>
                       <a class="has-arrow" href="#" aria-expanded="false">Menu 2</a>

```

--------------------------------

### Add Arrow Indicators

Source: https://onokumus.github.io/metismenu/index.html

Apply the `has-arrow` class to anchor (`<a>`) elements to display an arrow indicator, commonly used for indicating expandable submenus.

```html
<ul id="metismenu">
            <li class="mm-active">
             <a class="has-arrow" href="#" aria-expanded="true">Menu 1</a>

               <a href="#" aria-expanded="false">Menu 2</a>
               <ul>
               ...
               </ul>
             </li>

             </ul>
```

--------------------------------

### MetisMenu Option: preventDefault

Source: https://onokumus.github.io/metismenu/index.html

Set `preventDefault` to `false` to allow the default click event behavior for dropdowns after expanding/collapsing. This option is available since version 2.7.0.

```javascript
$"#menu".metisMenu({
                 preventDefault: false
               });
```

--------------------------------

### Disable Menu Opening with aria-disabled

Source: https://onokumus.github.io/metismenu/index.html

Set `aria-disabled="true"` on an anchor (`<a>`) element to prevent MetisMenu from expanding or collapsing its submenu. This can be controlled dynamically.

```html
<a href="#" aria-expanded="false" aria-disabled="true">List 1</a>
```

--------------------------------

### Accessible Expand/Collapse Controls with aria-expanded

Source: https://onokumus.github.io/metismenu/mm-docs.html

Ensure accessibility by adding the `aria-expanded` attribute to your menu links. The plugin automatically toggles this attribute based on the collapsible element's state.

```html
<ul id="metismenu">
                       <li class="mm-active">
                         <a href="#" aria-expanded="true">Menu 1</a>
                         <ul>
                         ...
                         </ul>
                       </li>
                       <li>
                         <a href="#" aria-expanded="false">Menu 2</a>
                         <ul>
                         ...
                         </ul>
                       </li>
                       ...
                       </ul>
```

--------------------------------

### MetisMenu Option: parentTrigger

Source: https://onokumus.github.io/metismenu/index.html

Use the `parentTrigger` option to define a jQuery selector for parent elements that should trigger submenu expansion/collapse. This is helpful for custom structures like Bootstrap's nav components.

```javascript
$("#metismenu").metisMenu({
               parentTrigger: '.nav-item' // bootstrap 4
             });
```

--------------------------------

### MetisMenu Option: subMenu

Source: https://onokumus.github.io/metismenu/index.html

Specify a jQuery selector for the `subMenu` option to target the elements that contain submenu items. This allows customization for different menu structures, such as Bootstrap's flex-column navs.

```javascript
$("#metismenu").metisMenu({
               subMenu: '.nav.flex-column' // bootstrap 4
             });
```

--------------------------------

### Add ID to Unordered List

Source: https://onokumus.github.io/metismenu/index.html

```html
<ul id="metismenu">

</ul>
```

--------------------------------

### Add ID to Unordered List for MetisMenu

Source: https://onokumus.github.io/metismenu/mm-docs.html
