## Anatomy

Import the component and assemble its parts:

```jsx title="Anatomy"
import { NavigationMenu } from '@base-ui/react/navigation-menu';

<NavigationMenu.Root>
  <NavigationMenu.List>
    <NavigationMenu.Item>
      <NavigationMenu.Trigger>
        <NavigationMenu.Icon />
      </NavigationMenu.Trigger>
      <NavigationMenu.Content>
        <NavigationMenu.Link />
      </NavigationMenu.Content>
    </NavigationMenu.Item>
  </NavigationMenu.List>

  <NavigationMenu.Portal>
    <NavigationMenu.Backdrop />
    <NavigationMenu.Positioner>
      <NavigationMenu.Popup>
        <NavigationMenu.Arrow />
        <NavigationMenu.Viewport />
      </NavigationMenu.Popup>
    </NavigationMenu.Positioner>
  </NavigationMenu.Portal>
</NavigationMenu.Root>;
```

## Examples

### Nested submenus

`<NavigationMenu.Root>` component can be nested within a higher-level `<NavigationMenu.Content>` part to create a multi-level navigation menu.

## Demo

### Tailwind

This example shows how to implement the component using Tailwind CSS.

```tsx
/* index.tsx */
import * as React from 'react';
import { NavigationMenu } from '@base-ui/react/navigation-menu';

### Nested inline submenus

For second-level navigation that should stay in the same panel, omit the nested `<NavigationMenu.Portal>` and render only `List` + `Viewport` with a `defaultValue`.

## Demo

### Tailwind

This example shows how to implement the component using Tailwind CSS.

```tsx

### Custom links

The `<NavigationMenu.Link>` part can be customized to render the link from your framework using the `render` prop to enable client-side routing.

```jsx title="Next.js example"
// @highlight
import NextLink from 'next/link';
import { NavigationMenu } from '@base-ui/react/navigation-menu';

function Link(props: NavigationMenu.Link.Props) {
  return (
    <NavigationMenu.Link
      {/* @highlight */}
      render={<NextLink href={props.href} />}
      {...props}
    />
  );
}
```

### Large menus

When you have large menu content that doesn't fit in the viewport in some cases, you usually have two choices:

1. Compress the navigation menu content

You can change the layout of the navigation menu to render less content or be more compact by reducing the space it takes up.
If your content is flexible, you can use the `max-height` property on `.Popup` to limit the height of the navigation menu to let it compress itself while preventing overflow.

```css title="Compact layout"
.Content,
.Popup {
  max-height: var(--available-height);
}
```

2. Make the navigation menu scrollable

```css title="Scrollable layout"
.Content,
.Popup {
  max-height: var(--available-height);
}

.Content {
  overflow-y: auto;
}
```

Native scrollbars are visible while transitioning content, so we recommend using the [Scroll Area](/react/components/scroll-area.md) component instead of native scrollbars to keep them hidden, which also allows the `Arrow` to be centered correctly.

## API reference

### Root

Groups all parts of the navigation menu.
Renders a `<nav>` element at the root, or `<div>` element when nested.

**Root Props:**
