📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The layout now selects navigation from hydrated orientation and breakpoint state. Navigation items use Material Symbols. Users can customize mobile bottom-navigation items. Landscape mode uses a side rail. Portrait mode uses an overflow drawer and fixed bottom navigation.

Changes

Responsive navigation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Navigation data and icon system
resources/js/lib/navigation.ts, resources/js/components/ui/MaterialIcon.vue, resources/css/app.css
Navigation items use Material Symbols names. MaterialIcon renders configurable Material Symbols Rounded glyphs. The stylesheet loads and configures the icon font.
Bottom navigation customization
resources/js/lib/useBottomNavCustomization.ts, resources/js/components/navigation/BottomNav.vue, resources/js/components/navigation/BottomNavCustomizer.vue, resources/js/pages/Profile.vue
The composable validates persisted items and supports adding, removing, reordering, and resetting middle items. The bottom bar uses customized items with pinned Home and Account entries. Profile renders the customization controls.
Responsive layout integration
resources/js/lib/useOrientation.ts, resources/js/lib/useBreakpoint.ts, resources/js/components/navigation/ResponsiveNavigation.vue, resources/js/layouts/AppLayout.vue
Orientation and breakpoint state control navigation rendering after hydration. Rail collapse state persists in localStorage. Layout spacing and footer rendering follow bottom-navigation visibility.
Desktop and portrait navigation surfaces
resources/js/components/navigation/SideRail.vue, resources/js/components/navigation/OverflowDrawer.vue
The rail and drawer use MaterialIcon and customized navigation items. Search modal flows were removed. Account, installation, theme, scrolling, and styling behavior was updated.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9e072

This PR adds orientation-aware navigation but currently leaves collapsed rail controls without accessible names and includes stylesheet rules that violate configured lint checks, which can impair screen-reader use and prevent validation from passing. Merge readiness is moderate until these issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Add accessible names to collapsed icon-only controls.

When collapsed is true, these buttons hide their text and have no aria-label. Screen-reader users cannot identify the install, search, or theme controls. Add a stable accessible name to each button.

Proposed fix
 <button
   type="button"
+  aria-label="Install app"
   `@click`="handleInstallApp"
 >
 
 <button
   type="button"
+  aria-label="Search"
   `@click`="triggerSearch"
 >
 
 <button
   type="button"
+  :aria-label="`Change theme. Current setting: ${theme}`"
   `@click`="toggle"
 >

In `@resources/css/app.css`:
- Line 1: Update the Material Symbols `@import` declaration to use the
configured quoted URL notation instead of wrapping the URL in url(...), while
preserving the existing font query parameters.
- Line 162: Replace the deprecated word-wrap declaration with overflow-wrap
while preserving its normal value in the affected CSS rule.

In `@resources/js/components/navigation/BottomNavCustomizer.vue`:
- Around line 150-154: Update the navigation item controls in
BottomNavCustomizer to add focusable “Move earlier” and “Move later” buttons
that invoke reorder with the item’s current index and target position, disabling
the earlier control for the first item and the later control for the last item.

In `@resources/js/layouts/AppLayout.vue`:
- Line 90: Add sufficient bottom padding, including the safe-area inset, to the
Chat/Index content or its layout when BottomNav is shown so the final message
and composer remain above the fixed navigation; preserve the existing AppLayout
behavior for other pages.

In `@resources/js/lib/useBottomNavCustomization.ts`:
- Around line 71-73: Make middleHrefs shared across all
useBottomNavCustomization() consumers by moving its ref to a client-side
module-level singleton or shared store instead of creating it per composable
call. Update the persistence logic so the shared state has exactly one
localStorage watcher, while preserving loadStored() initialization and existing
consumer behavior.

…ith hamburger overflow

Replace NavBar with orientation-aware navigation per spec:

- Desktop/landscape: collapsible side rail (72px rail ↔ 256px expanded, persisted) with all nav items, search, theme, PWA install, auth

- Mobile/portrait: bottom nav with 4 core items (Home, Forum, Chat, AI) + top-left hamburger for overflow (Blogs, Support, About, Join, Donate) + Search + Notifications

- Auth-aware: guest Login vs authed Profile/Admin, admin link, etc.

- Frees footer space: Footer hidden on portrait (bottom nav occupies), visible on landscape; reduces top bar clutter

- TypeScript: navigation.ts (NavItem types), useOrientation.ts (matchMedia orientation), Vue SFC <script setup lang=ts> + lucide-vue-next icons

- Bridging: ResponsiveNavigation.vue orchestrates orientation switch, AppLayout now uses new shell
…av customization

Switch icons from lucide-vue-next to Material Symbols Rounded SVGs (filled, weight 300, rounded) via MaterialIcon component and Google Fonts import in app.css.

Add mobile bottom nav customization (3-5 items, Home pinned first, Account pinned last) with drag-drop reorder, localStorage persistence (hscstack:bottom-nav:v1), available pool move to hamburger drawer. Profile settings UI via BottomNavCustomizer.

Fix siderail styling: polished desktop rail (280px expanded, 72px collapsed, shadow, active states) and YT-style bottom nav (YT/YT Music). No footer on mobile (free space) — AppLayout now uses useBreakpoint(1024) + orientation (mobile OR portrait → bottom nav, desktop+landscape → side rail).
- Desktop rail now bg-white/dark slate-900 with subtle shadow, border-slate-200/60. Active uses indigo-50/ring-indigo-100 (light) and indigo-500/10 (dark) with dot indicator instead of harsh slate-900.

- Hover: consistent hover:bg-slate-100 / dark hover:bg-slate-800 with 150ms ease, group hover for icons, shadow-sm on hover.

- Header toggle, PWA button, search/theme, auth card all refined for better contrast and polish.
… things

SideRail: tighter nav py, tracking-tight, ring, dot indicator, header shadow polish. BottomNav: backdrop-blur, gap, scale active, antialiased. OverflowDrawer: 56px top bar, rounded drawer, cubic-bezier slide, YT-style hamburger.
Filled + wght 400 (was 300), bump sizes: SideRail 19->22, 18->20; BottomNav 22->26; OverflowDrawer 20->22, menu 22->24; app.css import wght 400. More prominent, YT-style weight.
…bottom nav, move search, footer on mobile

- SideRail collapsed now uses favicon.svg icon-only (not H), bg white/70 dark slate-900/60 backdrop-blur-xl (darker translucent modern)

- BottomNav thicker: py-2 (was py-1) for more height, as requested for mobile

- Move search bars from navbars/rails: remove Search from SideRail footer and OverflowDrawer top bar (search now via Home page or Cmd+K, not cluttering nav)

- Footer on mobile: always visible (was hidden when bottom nav) with pb for bottom nav safe area — compact minimal footer on non-home, full on home, properly spaced above bottom nav

- Also unify Dark/Install/Login sizes (same py-2.5, border, rounded-xl) as noted
useBottomNavCustomization: move middleHrefs to module-level singleton (sharedMiddleHrefs) with single ensurePersistWatcher — fixes per-consumer ref/watcher duplication (was creating new ref+watcher per call around lines 71-73). Preserve loadStored() init and consumer behavior.

SideRail: fix collapsed 72px header overflow — stack logo + toggle vertically (flex-col gap-3 py-3) instead of side-by-side justify-center, so logo icon-only and chevron fit without overlap (fixes screenshot arrow).
Both now h-11 w-full gap-2.5 rounded-xl border px-3 text-[13px] font-bold — Theme also unified to same h-11/px-3/border to fix height mismatch seen in screenshot.
OverflowDrawer: capture previous document.body.style.overflow, restore on close and onBeforeUnmount (fixes leftover hidden when unmounted while open).

SideRail: add stable aria-label/title to Theme (Theme: \) and Install App when collapsed (icon-only), keep visible text when expanded. Search button already removed per earlier move-search request — skip.

SideRail account nav already includes /profile link in both states and renders /admin icon-only when collapsed (fixed in b4cbd21) — verified, no change needed.
…file.vue

Fixes CI import/order error (was BottomNavCustomizer after imageCompression, should be before alphabetically). Verified lint:check and format:check pass. SSR crash already fixed in main (app.ts no longer has top-level localStorage), vendor Socialite now resolved via composer.json:16 and successful composer install on CI, path with spaces only floods logs not failing.
