Composable menu builder and renderer for CakePHP applications.

This branch is for **CakePHP 5.3+**. See the [version map](https://github.com/dereuromark/cakephp-menu/wiki#cakephp-version-map) for details.

Features:

- nested menu trees with string and Cake-style array URLs
- active-state matching with alternate routes, named routes, and fuzzy matching
- helper-managed named menus and breadcrumb integration
- extensible resolvers and renderers for app-specific rules

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require dereuromark/cakephp-menu
```

Load the plugin:

```
bin/cake plugin load Menu
```

Load the helper in your `AppView`:

```
use Cake\View\View;

class AppView extends View
{
    public function initialize(): void
    {
        parent::initialize();

        $this->loadHelper('Menu.Menu');
    }
}
```

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

```
use Menu\Menu;

$menu = Menu::create(['class' => 'nav']);
$menu->addItem('Dashboard', ['controller' => 'Dashboard', 'action' => 'index']);

$account = $menu->addItem('Account', '#', [
    'attributes' => ['class' => 'nav-item'],
]);
$account->getSubMenu()->setAttributes(['class' => 'submenu']);
$account->add($menu->newItem('Profile', ['controller' => 'Users', 'action' => 'profile']));
$account->add($menu->newItem('Logout', ['controller' => 'Users', 'action' => 'logout']));

echo $this->Menu->render($menu);
```
