Easily create dynamic menus from within your Laravel 5 application. Originally developed for [FusionCMS](https://github.com/fusioncms/fusioncms), an open source content management system.

Caffeinated Menus was based off of Lavary's [Laravel Menu](https://github.com/lavary/laravel-menu) package with support for the Caffeinated Shinobi package.

The package follows the FIG standards PSR-1, PSR-2, and PSR-4 to ensure a high level of interoperability between shared PHP code. At the moment the package is not unit tested, but is planned to be covered later down the road.

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

You will find user friendly and updated documentation in the wiki here: [Caffeinated Menus Wiki](https://github.com/caffeinated/menus/wiki)

Quick Installation
------------------

[](#quick-installation)

Begin by installing the package through Composer.

```
composer require caffeinated/menus

```

Once this operation is complete, simply add the service provider class and facade alias to your project's `config/app.php` file:

#### Service Provider

[](#service-provider)

```
Caffeinated\Menus\MenusServiceProvider::class,
```

#### Facade

[](#facade)

```
'Menu' => Caffeinated\Menus\Facades\Menu::class,
```

And that's it! With your coffee in reach, start building out some awesome menus!
