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)

User Story

As a user, I want professional navigation and footer styling, So that I can easily navigate the site and find information.

Acceptance Criteria

Navigation Bar

  • Fixed top position with z-50
  • Navy blue background (bg-navy)
  • Logo left (desktop), centered (mobile)
  • Gold text for links (text-gold)
  • Active link indicator (gold underline or background)
  • Language toggle styled consistently
  • Responsive mobile menu

Mobile Menu

  • Full-width dropdown/slide from left
  • Navy background (bg-navy)
  • Clear touch targets (44px+ minimum)
  • Smooth animation (200-300ms)
  • Close button visible

Footer

  • Navy blue background (bg-navy)
  • Logo and firm info (using <x-logo variant="reversed">)
  • Contact details section
  • Links to Terms/Privacy pages

        </div>
    </div>
</footer>

Sticky Footer CSS (if needed)

/* 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

// 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',
];

Definition of Done

  • Navigation styled with navy background and gold links
  • Mobile menu works with smooth animation
  • Footer styled and positioned correctly
  • Sticky footer works on short-content pages
  • All navigation links functional
  • RTL layout mirrors correctly (logo right, reversed order)
  • Guest vs authenticated nav items display correctly
  • Language toggle integrated and styled
  • Touch targets meet 44px minimum on mobile
  • Tests pass

Testing Requirements

Feature Tests

// 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'));
});

test('authenticated user sees dashboard link', function () {
    $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)

// 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

QA Results

Review Date: 2026-01-03

Reviewed By: Quinn (Test Architect)

Risk Assessment

Risk Level: LOW

This story is classified as low risk because:

  • No authentication/payment/security-critical files are touched
  • Primarily UI/styling components with existing test coverage
  • 31 tests already exist with 80 assertions
  • Story has clear, bounded scope (navigation and footer styling)
  • Changes follow established patterns in the codebase

Code Quality Assessment

Overall: EXCELLENT

The implementation demonstrates high-quality code with excellent attention to detail:

  1. Navigation Component (navigation.blade.php):

    • 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):

    • Clean toggle UI with active state indicator
    • Proper accessibility with visible labels

  • Sticky footer via flexbox pattern
  • All translations present for EN and AR
  • 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)
  • Fonts loaded via Google Fonts with display=swap

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
