AWESOME! :) You rock @skjnldsv!

See the comments inline. I’d also like us to resolve the Mail app indent (as seen in navigation-menu.png) and maybe we should also add icons to the contacts app sidebar so the navigation-counter.png looks proper too.

+Introduction
+=============
+
+The main navigation menu represent the most important part of your app.


But also, I wouldn’t say »most important part of your app« since really the most important part is the content. ;) Maybe more something like »It is the main navigation of your app, so it needs to be simple, organized and responsive.«?

jancborchardt · 2017-10-05T17:51:41Z

developer_manual/design/navigation.rst

+* Simple
+* Responsive
+
+Nextcloud provide a very organized way of building menus.

+Utils
+======
+
+Each entry is allowed to have a counter and/or a button for user interraction.

+Menu
+^^^^^
+
+If you need to add a few interractions for your entry, you can put everything in a popover menu.


interactions again, one r ;)

developer_manual/design/popovermenu.rst

+What is a popover menu
+=======================
+
+This is a quick menu that open on click. We're usually using the three dots icons on nextcloud.


opens

»For menus, we use the three-dot-icon.« (also »Nextcloud needs to have a capital N ;)

jancborchardt · 2017-10-05T17:54:52Z

developer_manual/design/popovermenu.rst

+* The only allowed menu items elements are **a** and **button**.
+* You can mix between a and button on the same menu (in case of form or direct link) like the example above
+* You need to put the entire menu just after the three dot icon ``<div><span class="icon-more"></span><div class="popovermenu">...</div></div>``
+* You do not need js, css only is ok for positioning. Js is **still** required to handle the hide/show.


Let’s always capitalize JS and CSS as it is done, also so it stands out in the text.

jancborchardt · 2017-10-05T17:55:36Z

developer_manual/design/popovermenu.rst

+* Only **one** ul is allowed.
+* Only **one level** of menu is allowed.
+* Every entry **needs** to have its own icon. This greatly improves the UX.
+* The required **right** distance to the border (or padding, whatever you want to use) of the three-dot icon should be 14px (5 for menu margin and 6 for arrow position)


We should do that automatically though, right? We shouldn’t need to manually mention any px values here?

It is done automatically. This information is for the menu button. Not everyone will use a standard button. For example again, the federationscope menu, the button is not 44px width. :)

developer_manual/design/popovermenu.rst

+
+Alignment
+==========
+If you want to align your menu, you can add the class to the main popovermenu div.


Why do we want to make this customizable? It seems to be unnecessary, will make apps work differently, and also will be a problem on mobile if the menu is too far right outside of the viewport.

@jancborchardt this has been implemented and used for the last 8 months... The federationscope menus uses the center class for example.

And the issue of overlapping outside the browser is the same about the height of the menu. It can also overlap on the bottom. :)

@jancborchardt What do you think of floating figures to illustrate the different parts?
I don't like having them in the middle of the text. I'd like to align them on the right like this:

jancborchardt · 2017-10-06T11:14:34Z

@skjnldsv maybe it's even better to put it to the right of the code it corresponds to, so a bit lower down? :) But both is fine, yep.

jancborchardt · 2017-10-06T11:16:02Z

Oh and an additional comment where you say icons in the menus are important for better UX, let's be more specific and say "Icons are important for quick recognition and to support the text."

pixelipo · 2017-10-06T12:08:26Z

developer_manual/design/navigation.rst

+* The ``app-navigation-entry-utils`` snippet need to be placed right next to the main link of your entry.
+* Maximum **two** items are allowed into the utils section. You can have:
+	* Two buttons
+	* One button and one counter


could you like counter with the Counter section?

Yes! Thx! There is still a lot to do :)

jancborchardt · 2017-10-10T17:11:08Z

@skjnldsv that works, yes! If it's possible the code section could be narrower and the image right next to it (without grey container), that would look even better.

@skjnldsv Is this ready to merge?

skjnldsv · 2017-10-24T12:09:49Z

I still need some stuff to make!
Not much though!

skjnldsv · 2017-10-24T13:04:39Z

What's left to add:

Main content:
- Breadcrumbs?
- ~~app-content-list?~~ (@jancborchardt )
Overall layout
- Some explanation of our basic rules for a good app content layout? (@nextcloud/designers)
Global rules/guidelines? Like what we tend to do, what we usually do, what is not possible, and various rules (like button = 44x44px)?

Do anyone see something else?
Should we include stuff like how to create a placeholder (colored bg + white big letter, like avatar), or stuff like that?

jancborchardt · 2017-10-24T13:16:48Z

You mean app-content-list (not app-navigation-list) and app-content-detail? Yes that would be good to document. :) From the Contacts app and Mail app ideally.

Breadcrumbs I'm not sure as we don't really use/encourage them anywhere except Files. Would leave out for now tbh.

Explanation of basic rules yes. Includes min click target size 44*44px.

And yes, how to include avatars would be great.

The rest we can do in further pull requests and step by step. :)

skjnldsv · 2017-10-24T13:19:51Z

I could use some help on the rules 😄
I have bigger plans for the app-content-list, so I'll see that in the hackweek I think 😉

In which categorie should we put the avatar code stuff?

jancborchardt · 2017-10-24T13:23:06Z

Yeah, let's best work on it during the hackweek?

Avatars might need a separate section, also cause we have guidelines that every username should have an avatar next to it, and that clicking avatar/name should invoke the person's menu.

MorrisJobke · 2017-10-24T14:35:31Z

Avatars might need a separate section, also cause we have guidelines that every username should have an avatar next to it, and that clicking avatar/name should invoke the person's menu.

I would say, that we should do this in a followup PR.

jancborchardt · 2017-10-24T21:09:18Z

Yep, absolutely. Imo we can do everything additional in a follow-up - I asked long ago if we can merge this already. ;)

MorrisJobke · 2017-10-24T22:28:46Z

Let's merge this and then we can continue in a separate PR. I also will also backport this to stable12 already and we then can also backport the followups. ;)

MorrisJobke · 2017-10-24T22:32:05Z

skjnldsv · 2017-10-25T03:58:15Z

Hum, I need to create my patch for stable 12 compatibility then!! :)

Thanks for merging, this is a big step forward!!

jancborchardt · 2017-10-25T10:06:13Z

Aaaaaawesome! @skjnldsv such a magnificent job! :)

jancborchardt · 2017-10-30T17:34:55Z

By the way @skjnldsv, if you like you can also announce the new doc pages in our forum in the dev category: https://help.nextcloud.com/c/dev

Or maybe even a design blog post is in order? :) cc @jospoortvliet @NinaNC
