Module features and usage

Provides a new menu block that includes markup for
disclosure buttons, that make it easier for users on
assistive devices to navigate drop-down menus

Activating the button will toggle the visibility of
nested menu items

Also includes ARIA labels to provide clarity around what
the buttons do

Worth mentioning that Drupal’s Olivero theme also
includes disclosure buttons in its mWe’ll also cover
Disclosure Menu as our module of the week.

Guest Introenus, but there isn’t a straightforward way to
pull the menus implemented there into your custom theme
