Advanced menu with Flex Layout

:sparkles: Branch: menuflex

Introduction

As we've seen in the last step, a Submenu accepts any Store Framework block as child.

With this in mind, we can improve the previous activity's Menu configuration, adding to its content by using Flex Layout.

Activity

According to what we did in the last activity and what was learned about Flex Layout, let's apply Flex Layout to the Major Appliances submenu.

1. In the menu.jsonc file, replace vtex.menu@2.x:menu#major with flex-layout.row#major in the children list pertaining to the vtex.menu@2.x:submenu#major block;
2. Create a new file menu-flex.jsonc and then define the following flex-layout.row#major block:

...
"flex-layout.row#major": {
  "children": [
    "flex-layout.col#menu",
    "flex-layout.col#img"
  ]
},

3. Now, let's declare the blocks defined in flex-layout.row#major. To start, declare the flex-layout.col#menu block, having vtex.menu@2.x:menu#major as child;
4. Do the same for the flex-layout.col#img block, declaring it as image#menu, while rich-text#header is declared as child, in addition to the following props:

...
"props":{
  "paddingRight": 4,
  "horizontalAlign": "right"
 }
...

5. Lastly, let's declare the former image#menu as child in this last step, using the code below:

...
"image#menu": {
  "props": {
    "src": "https://appliancetheme.vteximg.com.br/arquivos/menu-washer.jpg",
    "link": {
      "url": "/small-appliances/coffee-makers"
    },
    "alt": "Coffee Makers Collection",
    "maxWidth": "200px"
  }
}

:information_source: Remember to access the documentation of both Flex Layout and Menu if you have any questions during the activity.
