Primary Navigation Menu

<cw-primary-navigation-menu> | CwPrimaryNavigationMenu

Since 1.3

experimental

A simple flat list of links shown in a <cw-primary-navigation-item>’s dropdown. Deliberately minimal — no headings, grouping, multi-column layout, or promo slot; styles plain <a> elements only.

Slot plain <a> elements in — this component only provides positioning and styling, deliberately with no headings, grouping, or multi-column layout.

Properties

Name	Description	Reflects	Type	Default
`mobile`	Set automatically by the parent `<cw-primary-navigation-item>` when its own dropdown is rendered inline for a mobile hamburger menu rather than as a floating panel — swaps the card-like floating appearance (border, shadow, fixed minimum width) for a full-width, unbordered look that matches the rest of the mobile menu. Not intended to be set directly.		`boolean`	`false`
`updateComplete`	A read-only promise that resolves when the component has finished updating.
