+# Primary navigation
+
+Implements the primary navigation component used on the GOV.UK Design System website.
+
+## Example usage
+
+```njk
+{{ xGovukPrimaryNavigation({
+  visuallyHiddenTitle: 'Navigation',
+  items: [{
+    text: "About this project",
+    href: "/about"
+  }, {
+    text: "Contact us",
+    href: "/contact"
+  }]
+}) }}
+```
+
+## Component options
+
+Use options to customise the appearance, content and behaviour of a component when using a macro, for example, changing the text.
+
+Some options are required for the macro to work; these are marked as “Required” in the option description.
+
+If you’re using Nunjucks macros in production with `html` options, or ones ending with `html`, you must sanitise the HTML to protect against [cross-site scripting exploits](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Cross-site_scripting).
+
+| Name | Type | Description |
+| :--- | :--- | :---------- |
+| **items** | array | **Required**. An array of navigation links within the side navigation. See [items](#options-for-items). |
+| **classes** | string | Classes to add to the primary navigation container. |
+| **attributes** | object | HTML attributes (for example data attributes) to add to the primary navigation container. |
+| **visuallyHiddenTitle** | string | A hidden title for the side navigation. |
+
+### Options for items
+
+| Name | Type | Description |
+| :--- | :--- | :---------- |
+| **text** | string | **Required**. Text of the navigation link. |
+| **href** | array | **Required**. The value of the navigation link’s `href` attribute. |
+| **current** | boolean | Indicate that the item is the current page. |
+| **classes** | string | Classes to add to the navigation item. |
