## Usage

1. Include metismenu StyleSheet

  ```html
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/metismenu/dist/metisMenu.min.css">
  <!-- OR -->  
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/metismenu/dist/metisMenu.min.css">
  ```

1. Include jQuery

  ```html
  <script src="https://unpkg.com/jquery"></script>
  <!-- OR -->
  <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/jquery"></script>
  ```

1. Include metisMenu plugin's code

  ```html
  <script src="https://unpkg.com/metismenu"></script>
  <!-- OR -->
  <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/metismenu"></script>
  ```

1. Add id attribute to unordered list

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

  </ul>
  ```

1. Make expand/collapse controls accessible

> Be sure to add `aria-expanded` to the element `a`. This attribute explicitly defines the current state of the collapsible element to screen readers and similar assistive technologies. If the collapsible element is closed by default, it should have a value of `aria-expanded="false"`. If you've set the collapsible element's parent `li` element to be open by default using the `mm-active` class, set `aria-expanded="true"` on the control instead. The plugin will automatically toggle this attribute based on whether or not the collapsible element has been opened or closed.

  ```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>
  ```

1. Arrow Options

> add `has-arrow` class to `a` element

  ```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>
    <ul>
    ...
    </ul>
  </li>
  ...
  </ul>
  ```

1. Call the plugin:

  ```javascript
    $("#metismenu").metisMenu();
  ```

### Stopping list opening on certain elements

Setting aria-disabled="true" in the `<a>` element as shown will stop metisMenu opening the menu for that particular list. This can be changed dynamically and will be obeyed correctly:

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

#### toggle

Type: `Boolean`
Default: `true`

For auto collapse support.

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

#### dispose

Type: `String`
Default: `null`

For stop and destroy metisMenu.

```javascript
 $("#metismenu").metisMenu('dispose');
```

#### preventDefault

Type: `Boolean`
Default: `true`

> Prevents or allows dropdowns' onclick events after expanding/collapsing.

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

_since from version 2.7.0_

#### triggerElement

Type: `jQuery selector`
Default: `a`

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

#### parentTrigger

Type: `jQuery selector`
Default: `li`

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

#### subMenu

Type: `jQuery selector`
Default: `ul`

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

## Events

|**Event Type**      |**Description**|
|--------------|--------------|
|show.metisMenu    |This event fires immediately when the `_show` instance method is called.|
|shown.metisMenu   |This event is fired when a collapse `ul` element has been made visible to the user (will wait for CSS transitions to complete).|
|hide.metisMenu    |This event is fired immediately when the `_hide` method has been called. |
|hidden.metisMenu  |This event is fired when a collapse `ul` element has been hidden from the user (will wait for CSS transitions to complete).|
