Styling API Details Left Menu¶
The API details left menu can be customized to match with your design needs by configuring the defaultTheme.js
file.
The defaultTheme.js
file has all the parameters defining the look and feel of the developer portal. To learn more about defaultTheme.js
refer here.
You can change the themes.light.custom.leftMenu
attributes to change the left menu styling. Note that, these changes will effect the same way to application details left menu as well.
-
Open the
<API-M_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/devportal/site/public/theme/defaultTheme.js
file in a text editor and update thethemes.light.custom.leftMenu
attributes. -
Refresh the Developer Portal to view the changes.
The following attributes are available for the leftMenu¶
const Configurations = {
custom: {
leftMenu: {
position: 'vertical-left',
style: 'icon left',
iconSize: 24,
leftMenuTextStyle: 'uppercase',
width: 180,
background: '#012534',
backgroundImage: '/site/public/images/leftMenuBack.png',
leftMenuActive: '#00597f',
leftMenuActiveSubmenu: '#0d1723',
activeBackground: '#191e46',
rootIconVisible: true,
rootIconSize: 42,
rootIconTextVisible: false,
rootBackground: '#000',
},
},
};
The above JSON defines the default look and feel.
We can change the menu to take different positions. For an example, the following configuration sets the menu as a toolbar by just changing the values of the above JSON as follows.
const Configurations = {
custom: {
leftMenu: {
position: 'horizontal',
rootIconVisible: false,
},
},
};
The following will set the menu to the right hand side and will disable the icons.
const Configurations = {
custom: {
leftMenu: {
position: 'vertical-right',
style: 'no icon',
},
},
};

With these configurations, we tried to handle most of the use cases for rebranding. But if someone wants to do a change that is not supported, for an example change the icons or make the menu collapsible, then they need to override the relevant React component.
