ElmDash Menu
------------

[](#elmdash-menu)

Menus are but a simple tree structure. You can implement them a million ways, but this is a clean and minimal menu structure that handles the basic chores of setting active states and toggling menu items depending on a user's authorization within Laravel apps.

In your provider's boot method add something like:

```
$m = new \ElmDash\Menu\Menu('top');

// a login route, only visible to guests
$m->add('access')->guests();

// menu items for users with proper permissions
$m->add('books.edit', function (Menu $books) {
	$books->can('edit-books');

	// It's optional to edit within callbacks.
	// However, this will be called once the menu is rendered
	// (instead of immediately)
});

// an adit route, active for any account routes
$m->add('account.edit')->match('account.*');

// you can also nest items
$c = $m->add('event.create');

// you may add route parameters that are
// included when determining active states
$c->add('event.create')->params(['type' => 'basic']);
$c->add('event.create')->params(['type' => 'special']);

// more menu items
$m->add('logout');

$this->app->instance('menu-top', $m);
```

Then in your view:

```
{% set menu = app.make('menu-top') %}

            {% for item in menu.children %}
               {% set activeClass = item.isActive ? 'active' : '' %}

                        {{ item.label }}

                    {% for subitem in item.children %}
                        {% set activeClass = subitem.isActive ? 'active': '' %}

                                {{ subitem.label }}

                    {% endfor %}

            {% endfor %}

```

Labels are set in `lang/menu.php`:
