Quadrat: Navigation

[jffng]

We need a way to render the menu in a classic theme so there is a sensible upgrade path to FSE while still allowing users to edit their menu in the customizer.

We have three approaches so far:

• Change the way the nav block works to consume a classic menu by specifying a "location" attribute: (Optionally) rendering classic navigation data source in Navigation B… WordPress/gutenberg#30852
• Render using wp_nav_menu + add_theme_support( 'block-nav-menus' ) in the theme: Quadrat: use php based header template #3654
• Create a reusable block and load in the header template (no PR yet, related: https://make.wordpress.org/themes/2020/07/05/using-the-block-editor-for-theme-parts/)

We merged #3714 while we push for a solution in Gutenberg / the navigation block.

We need to think about the responsive version of the navigation in particular, if the theme launches on dotcom before WordPress/gutenberg#30047 lands

The ponyfill in BCB gets the current navigation solution (#3714) (or, the location-on-block solution) close-ish as-is for mobile. I think some adjustments either in BCB or Quadrat will get us to useable until that Gutenberg issue lands.

Oh I forgot about that! cool then, thanks Jason!

I think we can close this one since we already have an issue for the mobile menu (#3789). We can revisit this if/when the GB PR for the navigation block lands.
