While building the interface, identify components and describe the desired behavior to the project AI.

Does this method fit your project, and how can you check?
When would you use this method?
When the user action is known and an interface is needed.
How should you choose for your situation?
Choose by task first: tabs for content switching, buttons for actions, forms for input; compare style afterward. Map entry and return for complex flows.
What is easy to misunderstand?
Do not copy sample labels, counts or business fields. Small content sets may not need pagination/search; essential actions must not rely only on hover, color or icons.
How can you check that this works for your project?
Check layout with real long text and empty data, then test keyboard/touch, focus, errors and return paths.

Frontend & UI / Navigation Menu

MENU

Navigation Menu

Use a navigation menu with section dropdowns..

Navigation Menu · Nav dropdown

Check the purpose before choosing

When is this component useful?Group actions or secondary commands for one object.

When should you avoid copying it directly?Do not hide core actions; touch use cannot depend solely on right-click or hover.

Names, counts and fields below are examples. Replace them with project content; a demo does not prove production integration.

Try it before choosing

How should you try this example?Open and choose an option; use the context area for a context menu.

What should you watch for while trying it?Actions fit the task; essential actions need touch and keyboard entry points.

Local exercise · restarting clears sample state without changing project data. Some preserved sample labels are in Chinese.

Recreation prompt · replace the context

Edit the template with actual material, confirm, then copy into the current project conversation. Mark unknowns as undecided and replace examples as needed.

Plain text · Add actual material before sending to AI
Read the preserved source specification

Use a navigation menu with section dropdowns.

What should you check if the result looks different?

Appearance only → give AI the missing click, keyboard, or state changes. Interaction exists but behaves differently → provide steps, expected behavior, and actual results and request a focused correction. Verify with sample data before integration.
