     To select your navs programmatically, you have to give your nav items unique ids, so you could know and set
     which one is currently active either using the <code>[(activeId)]="..."</code> binding or the imperative API
-    with<code>.select(id)</code>. If you don't provide any ids, they will be generated automatically.
