Photo Mega Navbar

Navbar80: Photo Mega Navbar

A sticky frosted navbar whose first item opens a full-width panel: a ruled list of serif services on the left brightens and slides an arrow in on hover while the photograph on the right blurs to the matching room, plus plain links, a pill and a light mobile menu.

Installation

Swap YOUR_EMAIL and YOUR_KEY for the email and license key on your account. Find your license key on your account page.

Radix flavor

npx shadcn add "https://ui.beste.co/r/navbar80?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"

Base UI flavor

npx shadcn add "https://ui.beste.co/r-base/navbar80?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"

This installs the block to components/beste/block/navbar80.tsx plus the button22 sliding-marker pill it uses.

Quick start

The installed file exports navbar80Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working navbar in one line.

import { Navbar80, navbar80Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/navbar80";

export default function Page() {
  return <Navbar80 {...navbar80Demo} />;
}

Then replace the demo with your own props. Written out, a trimmed setup looks like this:

import { Navbar80 } from "@/components/beste/block/navbar80";

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Navbar80
      brand="Altair"
      mega={{
        label: "Ways we work",
        href: "/work",
        entries: [
          {
            title: "Individual therapy",
            description: "Weekly, with one steady person.",
            meta: "60 or 75 minutes",
            href: "/therapy",
            image: { src: "/rooms/bench.jpg", alt: "A sunlit room with a low timber bench" },
          },
        ],
      }}
      items={[{ label: "Fees", href: "/pricing" }]}
      button={{ label: "First call", href: "/call" }}
      labels={{ open: "Open menu", close: "Close menu" }}
    />
  );
}

Props

type Mega = {
  label: string;
  href: string;
  entries: MegaEntry[];
};

type MegaEntry = {
  title: string;
  description: string;
  meta: string;
  href: string;
  image: { src: string; alt: string };
};

type NavItem = {
  label: string;
  href: string;
};

type ActionButton = {
  label: string;
  href: string;
  tone?: "primary" | "light" | "dark" | "outline";
};

Behavior notes

• The panel is always in the markup and shown with CSS (visible/invisible plus opacity and a small translate), never mounted on open, so every service link is in the server-rendered HTML for crawlers and for a reader whose JavaScript has not arrived.
• The preview swaps on onMouseEnter and onFocus together, so tabbing through the list changes the photograph exactly as hovering does.
• That photograph is keyed on the active index inside AnimatePresence, so the outgoing image blurs out under the incoming one rather than snapping.
• The arrow at the end of each row animates on opacity and translate rather than being mounted and unmounted, so the row's width does not change as the selection moves.
• Escape closes both the panel and the mobile menu, and moving the pointer off the whole header closes the panel, so it never stays open behind the page.
• Hovering any plain link closes the panel, so moving along the bar past the mega item does not leave it hanging open.
• Only the panel is md:block; on a phone the same entries appear as serif links in the mobile menu, with the descriptions and previews dropped.
