##### Using Model Class

[](#using-model-class)

```
/* get menu by id*/

$menu = Menu::find(1);
/* or by name */
$menu = Menu::where('name','Test Menu')->first();

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

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

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

##### or Using helper

[](#or-using-helper)

```
// Using Helper
$public_menu = Menu::getByName('Public'); //return array
```

### Menu Usage Example (b)

```

        @if($public_menu)

            @foreach($public_menu as $menu)

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

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

                @endif

            @endforeach
