A Lava-Lamp menu contains an indicator that moves to the selected position when we select an option.

We can see this type of navigation, (for example) in the AppleTV interface.

Still not clear? Take a look at this demo:
https://react-llamp-menu-demo.netlify.app/

How to create it?
1.-Install the dependency
npm i react-llamp-menu

2.-Import
import {LavalampMenu} from 'react-llamp-menu';

3.-Add a menu structure like this

<LavalampMenu>
  <ul>
    <li><button onClick={()=>console.log('option 1')}>First option</button></li>
    <li><button onClick={()=>console.log('option 2')}>Second option</button></li>
    <li><button onClick={()=>console.log('option 3')}>Third option</button></li>
  </ul>
</LavalampMenu>

4.-customize using CSS
