nav
Usage
To display a top navigation bar in your portal, you must define its contents in the nav section. Add it to the top level of the siteConfig.yaml file.
Items are displayed in the navbar in the same order as they are defined in the nav section. Every item must have a name (defined by label) and a link (either to a page in the portal project or to an external resource).

Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
external | When set to true, opens navbar items in a new browser tab or window. This is an optional property that you can use with page and href links. |
href | Defines the link to an external resource (href: 'https://example.com/docs'). Enclose the links in single quotation marks. |
icon | Defines the path to a custom icon displayed next to the navbar item name (icon: developer-portal/images/home-icon.png). This is an optional property that you can use with page and href links. |
label | Sets the name for the navbar item (label: Start page). |
page | Defines the link to a page in the developer portal project (page: developer-portal/introduction.md). |
permission | When using RBAC in the developer portal, this optional property sets the permission for displaying the navbar item. User roles with the matching permission(s) are able to see the item in the navbar when they log into the portal. |
search | When set to true, enables the search functionality in the portal and displays the search input field in the navbar. Placing the search key at the end of the nav section displays the search input field to the rightmost side of the navbar. Place it at the beginning of the nav section to display it on the left side of the navbar. If you remove the search key from the nav section or set it to false, the search functionality in the portal is disabled. |
