Define all items in global data file

[silveltman]

Define all items in global data file. Like so:

_data/navigation.yaml

items:
  - key: home
    title: Home
    url: /
    children:
      - key: Second
        title: Second
        url: /
        children:
  - key: contact
    title: Contact
    url: /contact

This could be very useful for pages that use i18n

fwiw you can do this today, as long as each node passed to the plugin matches the expected data format:

{ data: { eleventyNavigation: { parent?, key, url?, pinned? } } }

key and parent relationships are automatically resolved by the plugin internally.

I do see the benefit in a simpler data format though, I’ll leave this one open to gather upvotes
