Description

Alternative approach to #30964 in order to address #29529.

This approach uses a single NavigationToggle component. It has two states:

  1. When the panel is closed it is positioned absolutely over the top of the site icon and the "Close" icon is hidden.
  2. When the panel is open it is positioned over to the right hand side and the "Close" icon is shown.

The site icon (the W logo) is extracted to its own NavigationIcon component and now has no interactivity. It's purely a visual element. You now have to click the X icon to close the panel but that's far more intuitive and is an established pattern in the editor (eg: the List View sidebar has this).

This approach is better because

  1. There is now a single tab stop for toggling the panel (as opposed to x2 in the other PR).
  2. The code duplication has been removed making for easier maintenance.
  3. It is more intuitive and consistent UX to have the X icon as the way to toggle the panel.

See that PR for all details.

How has this been tested?

Noting that we could also pursue @jameskoster's approach

A more traditional hamburger icon which transforms into a close icon when clicked would be a less noisy solution. But then we'd have to think about how the site icon interacts, and the consequences of losing the (W) branding. I don't know if y'all think that is worth trying in a separate branch as a comparison?

In this approach, the W icon would simply transform into a Close icon when clicked. But we've have to be ok with losing the W when the panel is open.

Thanks so much for exploring these. Out of the two, I have a preference for the existing toggle, even if we add an extra close button affordance to it. Mostly because that lets focus on the W menu "stay in place" rather than shift around when opening closing.

If we do go with this alternate approach, we need to consider sites that have a logo defined:

You're welcome 👍

I understand this to mean you'd like to retain the toggle interaction in and around the site icon and avoid having a 2nd X off to the right?

I see the logic because that would allow the interaction to remain "under" the cursor whether toggling open/closed.

In that case we're heading towards simply replacing the site icon with an X when the panel is open.

Shall I do one final exploration of that route?
