laravel-navigator
=================

[](#laravel-navigator)

I just got tired of writing foreach in foreach in foreach :) So I build simple package for Laravel 4.\* to create any depth menu lists breadcrumbs etc.

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

[](#installation)

Require this package in your composer.json and run composer update:

```
"luknei/navigator": "dev-master"

```

After updating composer, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in app/config/app.php

```
'Luknei\Navigator\NavigatorServiceProvider',

```

Add this to your facades in app.php:

```
 'Nav' => 'Luknei\Navigator\NavigatorFacade',

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Adding items to navigator:

[](#adding-items-to-navigator)

```
//First level/depth items:
//menu group - "menu", menu item - "auth", and variables of the template
Nav::group('menu')->add('auth',[
    'title' => trans('auth::base.auth'),
    'href'  => '#',
    'icon'  => 'icon-key',
]);

//Second level/depth items:
//menu group - "menu", menu item - "auth.groups", and variables of the template
Nav::group('menu')->add('auth.groups', [
    'title' => trans('auth::base.groups'),
    'href'  => URL::action('Auth\GroupsController@getAll'),
]);

```

### Setting a template

[](#setting-a-template)

Template for the first level/depth items Templates have few elements:

- @depth() ... @stop
- @foreach ... @endforeach
- @subgroup
- variables you passed when adding element to the group $title, $icon etc

These parameters must be in every template, even though you don't need @subgroup you should use it anyway @subgroup should be placed there where you would have nested @foreach() ... @endforeach

```
    @depth(1)

            @foreach

                     {{ $title }}

                @subgroup

            @endforeach

    @stop

```

You can Set the default template for any level/depth item

```
@depth(default)

        @foreach

                {{ $title }}

            @subgroup

        @endforeach

@stop

```

There are also options for even and odd depth/levels @depth(even) @depth(odd)

### Rendering the menu

[](#rendering-the-menu)

To render your navigation menu simply set the group and use render method The first parameter of render method is your template, usage is the same as you use View::make();

```
Nav::group('admin.menu')->render('partials.sidemenu');

```

If you want to cache your rendered menu for more performance, pass a second parameter - minutes to keep the cache.

```
Nav::group('admin.menu')->render('partials.sidemenu', 20); //cached for 20min

```
