Related navigation

The related navigation component is a GOV.UK Publishing specific component.

This component may be useful if you are prototyping guidance pages that could be published on GOV.UK, or if your service needs to show related navigation.

Example usage

{{ xGovukRelatedNavigation({
  sections: [{
    items: [{
      text: "Find and compare schools in England",
      href: "/school-performance-tables"
    }, {
      text: "Types of school",
      href: "/types-of-school"
    }],
    subsections: [{
      title: "Explore the topic",
      items: [{
        text: "Schools and curriculum",
        href: "/browse/education/school-life"
      }]
    }]
  }]
}) }}

Component options

Use options to customise the appearance, content and behaviour of a component when using a macro, for example, changing the text.

Some options are required for the macro to work; these are marked as “Required” in the option description.

If you’re using Nunjucks macros in production with html options, or ones ending with html, you must sanitise the HTML to protect against cross-site scripting exploits.
