How do I make the shadcn ui NavigationMenuContent stay open so I can style the damn thing without losing my mind? Ideally in the browser's inspector/react devtools. I can't seem to find anything in the documentation. https://ui.shadcn.com/docs/components/navigation-menu.

give it's
value prop the value open. As the value does not change during styling, the menu will stay open and you can style that damn thing however you like@B33fb0n3 give it's value prop the value open.

Thanks for the response; but where exactly? I added value="open" in React Devtools and to code itself in various spots without any luck.

Thanks! For future reference you can get that value string using React DevTools from NavigationMenuItemProvider. In my case, it was ""radix-:R6dilt7:". Adding that string to a new "value" prop on NavigationMenu worked like a charm.
