Navigation Structure

Active menu state

Active menu state — documentation pending.

Complete

A nav item is "active" when the user is anywhere inside that module’s URL space — not only on the landing page. The active state is computed once via a regex-tested signal in the header component, then bound via `[class.nav-link--active]`.

The 9 active-state signals

onHome()
Matches `/(en|ar|fr)/?$`. True only on Home landing.
onEditorial()
Matches `/editorial(/|$)`. Active on listing + every article detail.
onShowcase()
Matches `/(showcase|startups)(/|$)`. Active on listing + every startup detail.
onRadar()
Matches `/opportunity-radar(/|$)`. Active on listing + every opportunity detail.
onFounders()
Matches `/founders(/|$)` AND NOT onFiles() AND NOT onRadar(). The conjunction prevents false-positive activation.
onFiles()
Matches `/founder-files(/|$)`. Active on listing + details + reader.
onCoverage()
Matches `/coverage(/|$)`. Active on coverage articles.
onCalendar()
Matches `/calendar(/|$)`. Active on landing + events listing + event details.
onDocs()
Matches `/docs(/|$)`. Active on documentation home + every section + topic.

Active state visual

  • `color: var(--primary)` — purple text.
  • `font-weight: 600` (one weight heavier than default).
  • 2px purple underline `box-shadow: inset 0 -2px var(--primary)`.
  • NO background-color change — the underline is enough; a filled background reads as "selected" not "current".
