allow for nested menues, feature request about hugo-theme-diary

[AmazingRise]

Thanks for your issue. The COVID-19 really influenced a lot. I'm very honored that my theme would help you to help those people. :)
Let's back to our main topic.

First, let's introduce some terms:

1. recipies is a section of Hugo blog.
2. categories and ingredients are taxonomies of a blog.

So this feature request can be described as: to implement a taxonomy under each section.
(The original behaviour of taxonomy page is to show all the things, whichever the section they belong to.)

Furst, I found a solution to do this on Hugo forum (see madipse's reply). And this solution needs some modifications to single.html. An annoying point is: if you have some other contents before, they needs to be modified, too.

I think there is a better practice.

GitHub pages enables you to set up a site under every project repositories. (if you have a repo named recipes, and add a branch gh-pages. Then upload some webpages, you will get a sub-site: https://your-github-name.github.io/recipes)

You can establish a seperate site for these recipes. In this way, you need to:

• Set up a sub-site.(For details, you can see this link.)
• Rename the default "contents/posts" folder to "contents/recipes"
• Add two taxonomies in config.toml: categories and ingredients.
• To classify these contents, you can declare in the frontmatter of each post, for example:

---
title: "An example recipe"
date: 2018-03-18T12:13:32+05:30
description: "This is an example recipe."
ingredients: ["tomato","potato","cheese"]
categories: "simple foods"
---

This solution may also need some small modifications to single.html.(To replace tags with ingredients) It's easier to do, comparing with the first solution.
If you'd like this solution, tell me and i will open a branch to do these small modifications.

Welcome other ideas on this. I'm very glad to help.

hi, thanks for the fast reply.

it wouldnt even have to be that complex. menu is generated via [[menu.main]] entries in config.toml. hugo has support for nesting menues, but the theme does not render it, or has css/js to style it.

just to clarify: i understand the internals of hugo and know how to use them. i am a backend/devops-dude. i just suck hard at frontend work because i never work on js/css.

all i care about is proper rendering, especially on mobile devices because i expect people to bring them into the kitchen - not the laptop ;-)

that would be more than enough
thx

hugo has support for nesting menues, but the theme does not render it, or has css/js to style it.

If you are meaning to render something like this,

[[menu.main]]
url = "/recipes/categories"
parent = "recipes"
name = "Categories"
weight = 2

...and there is only submenu not working in this theme:
I've added support for rendering submenu in the lastest commit.
Also adapted for mobile view.
Now, the menu with children items is expandable on sidebar. When click on it, the list will expand, you will see items in it.

And please reply to me if any further things needs to be added. (It's the first time for me to use this feature, not familiar to me.)
Thanks. :)
