Drupal Advent Calender Day 8 Features Disclosure Menu Module

Staff Reporter

Door number 8 of the Drupal Advent Calendar reveals the Disclosure Menu module, as explained by Chris Wells, addressing the imperative of creating an inclusive website navigation system within the Drupal community. The module originates from the communal realization that existing menu designs inadvertently excluded keyboard users, leading to the reconsideration of menu architecture. Drawing inspiration from the WAI Authoring Practices Guide, the team developed a Disclosure Navigation Hybrid Menu that offers a toggle button for seamless submenu access, irrespective of user devices or abilities.

Their process, utilizing Drupal’s HTML utility class and innovative JavaScript strategies, led to the creation of a highly customizable and accessible menu component. Addressing the challenges of hover navigation, the team devised various solutions to ensure a smooth and conflict-free user experience.
