Scripts

Megadropdoen script I located in components/navigation/navigation-mega-dropdown

It is initialized on HTML element [data-category-identifier="all-categories"]

if (
    navigationElement.querySelector(
        '[data-category-identifier="all-categories"]'
    )
) {
    NavigationClass = NavigationMegaDropdown;
}

class NavigationMegaDropdown extends Navigation It modifies the Navigation flyout behavior: skips adjusting column count for "All categories" root list, adjusts the number of submenu columns: the goal is to have as few columns as possible when keeping flyout's height bellow the given max height.

Styling

Html classes are the same as in the standard navigation flyout and styling is provided in navigation.scss file. there is an additional class: cs-navigation__flyout--all-categories that allows styling customizations in a child project.
