# Story 9.7: Navigation & Footer Styling
> **Note:** The color values in this story were implemented with the original Navy+Gold palette.
> These colors were updated in Epic 10 (Brand Color Refresh) to the new Charcoal+Warm Gray palette.
> See `docs/brand.md` for current color specifications.
## Epic Reference
**Epic 9:** Design & Branding Implementation
## Story Dependencies
- **Story 9.1:** Color System Implementation (provides `bg-navy`, `text-gold`, `text-cream` classes)
- **Story 9.3:** Logo Integration (provides `<x-logo>` component with variants)
- **Story 1.3:** Bilingual Infrastructure (provides language toggle mechanism)
- **Story 1.4:** Base UI Navigation (provides existing header structure)

### Nav Link Component
```blade
<!-- resources/views/components/nav-link.blade.php -->
@props(['active' => false, 'mobile' => false])
@php
$baseClasses = $mobile
? 'block px-4 py-3 min-h-[44px] text-base font-medium transition-colors duration-150'
: 'text-sm font-medium transition-colors duration-150';
$activeClasses = $active
? 'text-gold-light'
: 'text-gold hover:text-gold-light';
@endphp
<a {{ $attributes->merge(['class' => "$baseClasses $activeClasses"]) }} wire:navigate>
{{ $slot }}
</a>
```
### Footer Component
```blade
<!-- resources/views/components/footer.blade.php -->
<footer class="bg-navy text-cream mt-auto">
<div class="container mx-auto px-4 py-12">
<div class="grid md:grid-cols-3 gap-8">
<!-- Logo & Description -->
<div>
<x-logo variant="reversed" />
<p class="mt-4 text-sm opacity-80">
{{ __('footer.description') }}
</p>
</div>
<!-- Quick Links -->
<div>
<h4 class="font-semibold text-gold mb-4">{{ __('footer.links') }}</h4>
<ul class="space-y-2 text-sm">
<li>
<a href="{{ route('page.show', 'terms') }}" class="hover:text-gold transition-colors duration-150" wire:navigate>
{{ __('footer.terms') }}
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="{{ route('page.show', 'privacy') }}" class="hover:text-gold transition-colors duration-150" wire:navigate>
{{ __('footer.privacy') }}
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<!-- Contact Info -->
<div>
<h4 class="font-semibold text-gold mb-4">{{ __('footer.contact') }}</h4>
<ul class="space-y-2 text-sm opacity-80">
<li class="flex items-center gap-2 rtl:flex-row-reverse">
<flux:icon name="envelope" class="w-4 h-4 text-gold" />
<span>{{ config('libra.contact.email', 'info@libra.ps') }}</span>
</li>
<li class="flex items-center gap-2 rtl:flex-row-reverse">
<flux:icon name="phone" class="w-4 h-4 text-gold" />
<span dir="ltr">{{ config('libra.contact.phone', '+970 2 123 4567') }}</span>
</li>
<li class="flex items-start gap-2 rtl:flex-row-reverse">
<flux:icon name="map-pin" class="w-4 h-4 text-gold mt-0.5" />
<span>{{ config('libra.contact.address', 'Ramallah, Palestine') }}</span>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Copyright -->
<div class="border-t border-cream/20 mt-8 pt-8 text-sm text-center opacity-60">
&copy; {{ date('Y') }} {{ __('footer.copyright', ['name' => config('app.name')]) }}
</div>
</div>
</footer>
```
### Sticky Footer CSS (if needed)
```css
/* resources/css/app.css - add if flex approach insufficient */
body {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
min-height: 100vh;
}
main {
flex: 1;
}
```
## RTL Considerations
1. **Logo Position:** Use `rtl:order-last` if logo should move to right in RTL
2. **Menu Items:** Flex containers with `rtl:flex-row-reverse` or use logical properties
3. **Icons:** Some icons (arrows, chevrons) may need flipping with `rtl:scale-x-[-1]`
4. **Spacing:** Use `ms-*`/`me-*` (margin-start/end) instead of `ml-*`/`mr-*`
5. **Text Alignment:** Use `text-start`/`text-end` instead of `text-left`/`text-right`
## Translation Keys Required
```php
// resources/lang/en/nav.php
return [
'home' => 'Home',
'posts' => 'Posts',
'login' => 'Login',
'register' => 'Register',
'dashboard' => 'Dashboard',
];
// resources/lang/en/footer.php
return [
'description' => 'Professional legal services in Palestine.',
'links' => 'Quick Links',
'terms' => 'Terms of Service',
'privacy' => 'Privacy Policy',
'contact' => 'Contact Us',
'copyright' => 'All rights reserved. :name',
];
```

## Testing Requirements
### Feature Tests
```php
// tests/Feature/NavigationTest.php
test('navigation displays home link', function () {
$this->get('/')
->assertSee(__('nav.home'));
});
test('guest sees login link in navigation', function () {
$this->get('/')
->assertSee(__('nav.login'));
});

$user = User::factory()->create();
$this->actingAs($user)
->get('/')
->assertSee(__('nav.dashboard'))
->assertDontSee(__('nav.login'));
});
test('footer displays on all pages', function () {
$this->get('/')
->assertSee(__('footer.copyright'));
});
test('footer links to terms and privacy', function () {
$this->get('/')
->assertSee(__('footer.terms'))
->assertSee(__('footer.privacy'));
});
```
### Browser Tests (Pest v4)
```php
// tests/Browser/NavigationTest.php
it('mobile menu toggles correctly', function () {
visit('/')
->resize(375, 812) // iPhone viewport
->assertNotVisible('[x-show="mobileMenu"]')
->click('[aria-label="Toggle menu"]')
->assertVisible('[x-show="mobileMenu"]')
->click('[aria-label="Toggle menu"]')
->assertNotVisible('[x-show="mobileMenu"]');
});
it('navigation renders correctly in RTL', function () {
visit('/?lang=ar')
->assertAttribute('html', 'dir', 'rtl');
});
```
### Manual Testing Checklist
- [ ] Desktop: Nav links visible, hover states work
- [ ] Mobile: Menu toggle works, touch targets adequate
- [ ] RTL (Arabic): Layout mirrors correctly
- [ ] LTR (English): Standard layout
- [ ] Short page: Footer at viewport bottom
- [ ] Long page: Footer at content bottom
- [ ] Guest user: Login/Register visible
- [ ] Logged in: Dashboard/user menu visible
## Estimation
**Complexity:** Medium | **Effort:** 4 hours

- Well-structured Alpine.js integration for mobile menu toggle
- Proper use of `x-transition` with 200ms enter/150ms leave animations
- Clean conditional rendering with `@auth/@endauth` and `@else` blocks
- Good use of `@class` directive for conditional styling
2. **Footer Component** (`footer.blade.php`):
- Semantic HTML with proper `<footer>`, `<address>` elements
- Responsive grid layout (1→3 columns)
- Dynamic copyright year with `date('Y')`
- Clean separation of concerns
3. **Layout Component** (`public.blade.php`):
- Sticky footer implementation via flexbox (`min-h-screen flex flex-col` + `flex-1`)
- Skip-to-content link for accessibility
- Proper RTL support via `dir` attribute
4. **Language Toggle** (`language-toggle.blade.php`):

### Improvements Checklist
All items were verified as implemented correctly:
- [x] Navigation uses `fixed top-0` with `z-50`
- [x] Mobile menu has `min-h-[44px]` touch targets
- [x] Animations use appropriate durations (200ms/150ms)
- [x] Skip-to-content link present for accessibility

- [x] RTL support via `dir` attribute on `<html>`
- [x] Sticky footer via flexbox pattern
- [x] All translations present for EN and AR
- [x] Brand colors defined in CSS theme
**Advisory (Nice-to-have, not blocking):**
- [ ] Consider adding `wire:navigate` to footer terms/privacy links for SPA-like navigation
- [ ] Mobile menu could benefit from `x-trap.inert.noscroll` (already implemented!)
### Security Review
**Status: PASS**
- No user input handling in these components
- CSRF token properly included in logout form
- No JavaScript injection vectors
- Routes use proper Laravel route helpers
### Performance Considerations
**Status: PASS**
- Minimal JavaScript (Alpine.js only)
- No external API calls in components
- CSS uses Tailwind utilities (tree-shaken)

### Accessibility Review
**Status: EXCELLENT**
The implementation exceeds WCAG 2.1 AA requirements:
1. **Skip-to-content link** - Present and functional
2. **Focus management** - Mobile menu uses `x-trap.inert.noscroll`
3. **ARIA attributes** - `role="dialog"`, `aria-modal="true"`, `aria-expanded`
4. **Touch targets** - 44px minimum on all interactive elements
5. **Keyboard navigation** - Escape closes mobile menu, click-away support
6. **Color contrast** - Gold on Navy meets AA contrast ratio
