  state: {
    theme: {
      menu: [
        ["Home", "/"],
        ["Nature", "/category/nature/"],
        ["Travel", "/category/travel/"],
        ["Japan", "/tag/japan/"],
        ["About Us", "/about-us/"]
      ],
      featured: {

API Reference

Actions

There are some actions used along the theme that you may need useful:

actions.theme.toggleMobileMenu

It changes the status of state.theme.isMobileMenuOpen , which lets you open/close the mobile menu.

actions.theme.closeMobileMenu

It changes state.theme.isMobileMenuOpen to false, so it closes the mobile menu.

Libraries

This theme doesn't have its own libraries, but it includes the image and iframe processor of @frontity/html2react, so all the <img> tags are converted into the <Image /> component and the <iframe> tags into the <Iframe /> component.
