Facilitating List as a References of Navigation in Master Page

Question

Hello.
I  plan to modify the default master page in Sharepoint 2013 and one of the changes that I'll apply is to create some navigation that can be changed by the user anytime. I need this navigation to lookup its Label and URL in a List and possibly its corresponding
icons in the Library. Can someone help me on how to make this work. Thanks in advance

Hi,
Per my understanding, you might want to create a custom Navigation with the functionalities you want when customizing the default master page.
As there is no such OOTB feature can meet your requirement, custom code using JavaScript and Client Object Model would be required.
As you may need to get the data for the Navigation bar from a list or library, the link below about how to work with list items using JavaScript Client Object Model would be helpful:
