## NavMenu

Menu that provides navigation for your website.

### Top bar

Top bar NavMenu can be used in a variety of scenarios.

:::demo By default Menu is vertical, but you can change it to horizontal by setting the mode prop to 'horizontal'. In addition, you can use the submenu component to create a second level menu. Menu provides `background-color`, `text-color` and `active-text-color` to customize the colors.
```html
<el-menu :default-active="activeIndex" class="el-menu-demo" mode="horizontal" @select="handleSelect">
  <el-menu-item index="1">Processing Center</el-menu-item>
  <el-submenu index="2">
    <template slot="title">Workspace</template>
    <el-menu-item index="2-1">item one</el-menu-item>
    <el-menu-item index="2-2">item two</el-menu-item>
    <el-menu-item index="2-3">item three</el-menu-item>
    <el-submenu index="2-4">
      <template slot="title">item four</template>
      <el-menu-item index="2-4-1">item one</el-menu-item>
      <el-menu-item index="2-4-2">item two</el-menu-item>
      <el-menu-item index="2-4-3">item three</el-menu-item>
    </el-submenu>
  </el-submenu>
  <el-menu-item index="3" disabled>Info</el-menu-item>
  <el-menu-item index="4"><a href="https://www.ele.me" target="_blank">Orders</a></el-menu-item>

      };
    },
