Class NavBarController

java.lang.Object
com.example.cab302project.NavBarController
public class NavBarController extends Object
Controller for the shared bottom navigation bar (nav-bar.fxml). This controller is embedded in all main screens via <fx:include>. It provides three navigation buttons — Map, Reports, and Profile — each routing to the appropriate screen based on whether the logged-in user is a regular user or a police officer. Call setActiveTab(String) from the host screen's initialize() method to highlight the current tab.
