Emphasis by colorblock

Hightlighted font
From the visualization aspect, hightlighted font is stronger than colorblock, this pattern is often used for the parent level of the current item.

Header-Content-Footer

The most basic "header-content-footer" layout.

Generally, the mainnav is placed at the top of the page, and includes the logo, the first level navigation, and the secondary menu (users, settings, notifications) from left to right in it. We always put contents in a fixed size navigation (eg: 1200px), the layout of the whole page is stable, it's not affected by viewing area.

Top-bottom structure is conform with the top-bottom viewing habit, it's a classical navigation pattern of websites. This pattern demonstrates efficiency in the main workarea, while using some vertical space. And because the horizontal space of the navigation is limited, this pattern is not suitable for cases when the first level navigation contains many elements or links

import { Layout, Menu, Breadcrumb } from 'antd';
const { Header, Content, Footer } = Layout;

ReactDOM.render(
  <Layout className="layout">
    <Header>
      <div className="logo" />
      <Menu
        theme="dark"

Sider

Two-columns layout. The sider menu can be collapsed when horizontal space is limited.

Generally, the mainnav is placed on the left side of the page, and the secondary menu is placed on the top of the working area. Contents will adapt the layout to the viewing area to improve the horizontal space usage, while the layout of the whole page is not stable.

The level of the aisde navigation is scalable. The first, second, and third level navigations could be present more fluently and relevantly, and aside navigation can be fixed, allowing the user to quickly switch and spot the current position, improving the user experience. However, this navigation occupies some horizontal space of the contents

Responsive

Layout.Sider supports responsive layout.

Note: You can get a responsive layout by setting breakpoint, the Sider will collapse to the width of collapsedWidth when window width is below the breakpoint. And a special trigger will appear if the collapsedWidth is set to 0.

import { Layout, Menu, Icon } from 'antd';
const { Header, Content, Footer, Sider } = Layout;

ReactDOM.render(<Layout>
  <Sider
    breakpoint="lg"
    collapsedWidth="0"
    onCollapse={(collapsed, type) => { console.log(collapsed, type); }}
  >
    <div className="logo" />
    <Menu theme="dark" mode="inline" defaultSelectedKeys={['4']}>
      <Menu.Item key="1">
        <Icon type="user" />
        <span className="nav-text">nav 1</span>
      </Menu.Item>
      <Menu.Item key="2">
        <Icon type="video-camera" />
        <span className="nav-text">nav 2</span>
      </Menu.Item>
      <Menu.Item key="3">
        <Icon type="upload" />
        <span className="nav-text">nav 3</span>
      </Menu.Item>
      <Menu.Item key="4">
        <Icon type="user" />
        <span className="nav-text">nav 4</span>
      </Menu.Item>
    </Menu>

Fixed Header

Fixed Header is generally used to fix the top navigation to facilitate page switching.

import { Layout, Menu, Breadcrumb } from 'antd';
const { Header, Content, Footer } = Layout;

ReactDOM.render(
  <Layout>
    <Header style={{ position: 'fixed', width: '100%' }}>
      <div className="logo" />
      <Menu
        theme="dark"
        mode="horizontal"
        defaultSelectedKeys={['2']}
        style={{ lineHeight: '64px' }}
      >
        <Menu.Item key="1">nav 1</Menu.Item>
        <Menu.Item key="2">nav 2</Menu.Item>
        <Menu.Item key="3">nav 3</Menu.Item>
      </Menu>
    </Header>
    <Content style={{ padding: '0 50px', marginTop: 64 }}>
      <Breadcrumb style={{ margin: '12px 0' }}>
        <Breadcrumb.Item>Home</Breadcrumb.Item>
        <Breadcrumb.Item>List</Breadcrumb.Item>
        <Breadcrumb.Item>App</Breadcrumb.Item>
      </Breadcrumb>
      <div style={{ background: '#fff', padding: 24, minHeight: 380 }}>Content</div>
    </Content>
    <Footer style={{ textAlign: 'center' }}>

  </Layout>
, mountNode);
#components-layout-demo-fixed .logo {

  background: #333;
  border-radius: 6px;
  margin: 16px 24px 16px 0;
  float: left;
}

Fixed Sider

When dealing with long content, a fixed sider can provide a better user experience.

import { Layout, Menu, Icon } from 'antd';
const { Header, Content, Footer, Sider } = Layout;

ReactDOM.render(
  <Layout>
    <Sider style={{ overflow: 'auto', height: '100vh', position: 'fixed', left: 0 }}>
      <div className="logo" />
      <Menu theme="dark" mode="inline" defaultSelectedKeys={['4']}>
        <Menu.Item key="1">
          <Icon type="user" />
          <span className="nav-text">nav 1</span>
        </Menu.Item>
