**This package is currently under development. Use at your own risk!**

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Via Composer

```
$ composer require atthakasem/laravel-json-menu
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

1. Create a menu file in `resouces/menus/main.json` containing an array of pages. **A page can be represented by a string or an object.**

    ```
    [
        "News",
        "About us",
        {
            "name": "Home",
            "url": "/"
        },
        {
            "name": "Career",
            "children": ["Our perks", "Vacancies"]
        },
        {
            "name": "Our partner",
            "url": "https://www.google.com",
            "external": true
        },
        "Contact us",
        {
            "name": "Data protection",
            "class": "my-css-class another-one"
        }
    ]
    ```
2. Use the menu in your blade file via `@menu()` or `@menu('main')`. The resulting output will be:

    ```

        News
        About us
        Home

            Career

                Our perks
                Vacancies

        Our partner
        Contact us
        Data protection

    ```
