GiMeSpace Bootstrapped Menu

Introduction

The standard Joomla menu does not add the specific bootstrap code to style the menu in Bootstrap style.
This module will add the required code making a menu show correctly with bootstrap dropdowns. Also menu seperators between menu items are shown correctly.
To keep it light weight it only uses the standard Bootstrap 5 javascript and because of that it supports only one level dropdowns. This is probably the most lightweight menu you can find for Joomla 4&5.
Most bootstrap templates have build in support for the mobile hamburger menu if you publish this menu in the "menu" module position.

It works flawlessly, like it should. Does exactly what it says. It's a bootstrap menu and it works.

Ease of use

Very simpel, just install and put module in right position. And then write your CSS to style it like you want to.

Documentation

It is what it is. Simple and good. But if you have experience with CSS and Bootstrap it's very self-explanatory.

I used this to: I use it for several clients that need a drop down menu. This should be available standard in Joomla.

Does what it says on the tin

Perfect. (more text to fill out the JED's insistent demands for content)

Ease of use

Didn't need to do much with it. Some very minor overrides to suit my own needs, but that doesn't detract from the module's value.

I used this to: Building a Quickstart for [redacted by reviewer]. I needed a main menu that would theme with my application and this does the job perfectly. Thanks GiMeSpace

It seems this is the only light weight menu available for Joomla 4 at the moment

I was looking for a simple and fast drop-down menu that keeps my site fast and small in html code. This was the only one available for J4

Ease of use

Like I already said, it is simple, meaning easy, there is not much to learn, it just works

Documentation

I used this to: Keeping my site fast by keeping the html code small, which is exactly what this module does.

Good simple but very flexible

I used this to: I have a website with Joomla default menu module , the problem was that when I add sub-menu items , every time any page is loaded all of sub-menus drops down and all are visible,looks like even it take longer for a page to be loaded but this awesome extension solved the problem.

Wondering why this is not Joomla core
