Navigation Highlighting in Admin

Navigation highlighting in the Admin panel is a user interface feature that visually emphasizes the currently active menu item or section. It ensures users can easily identify where they are within the admin interface, enhancing orientation and user experience.

Key Features:

  • The currently selected or active page is highlighted in the navigation menu.

  • The highlight may include a different background color, bold text, a colored border, or an icon change.

  • In case of nested menus, both the active sub-item and its parent item are emphasized.

  • Highlighting dynamically updates based on navigation changes (e.g., route change, page load, or programmatic redirect).

User Benefits:

  • Improves usability by giving clear visual cues.

  • Reduces confusion when navigating through multiple admin sections.

  • Increases efficiency by keeping users aware of their current location in the app.

Implementation Notes:

  • Should support keyboard and mouse navigation.

  • Must be accessible (screen-reader friendly).

  • Should reflect real-time changes in route or state.
    Examples:

    {
"navigation": {
  "highlightActive": true,
  "activeStyle": {
    "backgroundColor": "#F0F0F0",
    "fontWeight": "bold",
    "borderLeft": "4px solid #007ACC"
  }
}

    }

{ "navigation": { "highlightActive": true, "activeStyle": { "backgroundColor": "#F0F0F0", "fontWeight": "bold", "borderLeft": "4px solid #007ACC" } }
