Features with Badges Navigation Menu for React

Each feature has a badge label and a variant in the data: the default fill for New, secondary for Beta, outline for Preview and Pro.

Yes, as part of the link's text, after the name, such as AI Assistant New. Keep them to one short word.

Each item's icon is a Lucide component stored in the data, rendered inside the link and hidden from assistive tech, since the label beside it names the link.

Each link is your router's link rendered through NavigationMenuLink, so it keeps the menu's styles and focus handling. NavigationMenuLink takes the Next.js Link through render, as in render={<Link href="#" />}.

Tab moves between the triggers and the links, Enter or Space opens a trigger's panel, and Escape closes it and returns focus to the trigger. The root is a nav, so screen readers list it as a navigation landmark.

Set aria-current="page" on the NavigationMenuLink that matches the route, and style it with the aria-[current=page]: variant. active on NavigationMenuLink sets it for you.
