# BolTopMenu default view

Default view of `BolTopMenuViewComponent`. It renders the horizontal menu with the items that match the application's menu category.

## Purpose
- Filter the menu items by `AppMenuCategory` from `BasicAppMap` and render them through `_BolMenuItemPartial`.

## Context
- Namespace: `BolMiddleware.Pages.Components`
- Assembly/package: `BolMiddleware`

## Public members
| Member | Signature | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| View | `Pages/Components/BolTopMenu/default.cshtml` with model `BolMenuViewModel` | Renders the top navigation items for the configured menu category. |

## Behavioral notes
- An empty or wrong category yields an empty bar.

## Constraints and usage notes
- Depends on the `BasicAppMap` configuration section ([Configuration](../../configuration.md)).
