$menu = Menus::where('name','Test Menu')->with('items')->first();
/*or by id */
$menu = Menus::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();
```

        @if($public_menu)

            @foreach($public_menu as $menu)

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

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