Is there a way to add a class to non current menu item?

The markup of the wp_nav_menu can be totally customized by using the Walker class.

Here’s the code I used:

functions.php

class Walker_Menu extends Walker {

    var $db_fields = array(
        'parent' => 'menu_item_parent', 
        'id'     => 'db_id' 
    );

    function start_el( &$output, $item, $depth = 0, $args = array(), $id = 0 ) {

        if (is_front_page()) {
            $output .= sprintf( "\n<li id='menu-item-%s'><a href="https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/217716/%s">%s</a></li>\n",
            sanitize_title($item->title),
            $item->url,
            $item->title
        );
        }
        else {
            $output .= sprintf( "\n<li id='menu-item-%s'%s><a href="https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/217716/%s">%s</a></li>\n",
            sanitize_title($item->title),
            ( $item->object_id == get_the_ID() ) ? ' class="current-menu-item"' : 'class="non-current-menu-item"',
            $item->url,
            $item->title
        );
        }
    }

}

header.php

wp_nav_menu(array(
    'menu'    => 'Main Menu',
    'walker'  => new Walker_Menu()
));

It add the class non-current-menu-item to every li element but the current menu item, and it will not do so on the front page.

Huge thanks to dingo_d for pointing out the class!
