```

### Menu Usage Example (a)

A basic two-level menu can be displayed in your blade template

##### Using Model Class

[](#using-model-class)

```
/* get menu by id*/
$menu = Menus::find(1);
/* or by name */
$menu = Menus::where('name','Your Menu name')->first();

/* or get menu by name and the items with EAGER LOADING (RECOMENDED for better performance and less query call)*/
$menu = Menus::where('name','Your Menu name')->with('items')->first();
/*or by id */
$menu = Menus::where('id', 1)->with('items')->first();

//you can access by model result
$primary_menu = $menu->items;

//or you can convert it to array
$primary_menu = $menu->items->toArray();
```

##### or Using helper

[](#or-using-helper)

```
// Using Helper
$primary_menu = LaravelMenu::getByName('Primary'); //return array
```

### Menu Usage Example (b)

[](#menu-usage-example-b)

Now inside your blade template file place the menu using this simple example

```

            @if ($primary_menu)
                @foreach ($primary_menu as $menu)

                        {{ $menu['label'] }}
                        @if ($menu['child'])

                                @foreach ($menu['child'] as $child)
                                    {{ $child['label'] }}

                                @endforeach

                        @endif

                @endforeach
            @endif

```
