Custom classes or ids for navigation items?

[cpolzer]

Hi!

Is it possible to setup custom classes and/or ids for the genreated list items?

I found this with simple.navigation: https://github.com/codeplant/simple-navigation/wiki/FAQ#q4

That's not currently possible, but it wouldn't be hard to add. This line https://github.com/michaek/middleman-navigation/blob/master/lib/middleman-navigation/tree.rb#L46 is where we're calling .item as in the simple-navigation example, and I'd suggest we'd allow class and id as keys of the navigation configuration in the YAML frontmatter, and that class or id would be applied to the navigation item. Does that sound like it would achieve what you're looking for?

Awesome - let me know if you need any help. I can probably get to it too - I'll post an update here if I have a chance.
