It is true that many Frontend Developers loathe the chore of creating a site’s menu, but I personally enjoy building them. I always thought of a website’s menu system as the perfect example of “the evolution of code”.

Most menus start with a simple nested list of menu links; at most, all you need is the text and URL for the menu item. But over time, as the complexities of the menu and site evolve, you begin to watch as a complete custom menu system develops by adding parameters and logic. It’s a beautiful thing to observe.
