**Create breadcrumbs and menus for your Laravel projects.**

🗻 Maestriam/Hiker
=================

[](#-maestriamhiker)

**Maestriam/Hiker** is a package for creating menus and breadcrumbs using [Laravel Routes](https://laravel.com/docs/6.x/routing).
**Under construction!**

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- Laravel 6.\*^

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

[](#installation)

**Install via composer**

```
composer require maestriam/hiker
```

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

**Preparing routes**

Let's start creating some routes normally using Laravel Routes.
You must declaring `as` and `uses` params.

```
    Route::get('/test/edit/{id}', [
        'as'    => 'test.edit',
        'uses'  => 'TestController@edit'
    ]);
```

**Optional attributes**

Optionally, you can add others params into yout route

```
    Route::get('/test', [
        'as'    => 'test.index',
        'uses'  => 'TestController@index'
        'icon'  => 'flag',
        'label' => 'My Route Index',
        'desc'  => 'A common index route'
    ]);
```

Menu
----

[](#menu)

**Create a new menu**

```
    $menu = Hiker::menu('test-menu');
```

Now, let's add some routes in it

```
    $menu = Hiker::menu('test-menu')
                 ->push('test.index')
                 ->push('test.view')
                 ->push('test.edit);
```

Into your php class, we can dump our menu this way

```
    $menu = Hiker::menu('test-menu');

    foreach($menu->collection as $route) {
        dump($route->url);
    }
```

The above example will output (if is localhost with `php artisan serve`):

```
    http://localhost:8000/test
    http://localhost:8000/view/1
    http://localhost:8000/edit/1
```

We can render into blade file

```
    @foreach($menu->collection as $route)
        {{ $route->url }}
    @endforeach
```

Breadcrumb
----------

[](#breadcrumb)

**Creating breadcrumb**

Create a new middleware and put into your function.

```
    Hiker::breadcrumb('my-breadcrumb')
```

**Creating namesake breadcrumb**

You can create namesake breadcrumbs. Just name it breadcrumb with same name that you route.
Automatically, the last item of breadcrumb will be the route that your name given

```
    Hiker::breadcrumb('my-route')
```

**Adding routes**

To add routes into breadcrumb, just call function `push` passing route name as parameter;
You can pass others parameters for construction of route

```
    Hiker::breadcrumb('my-breadcrumb')
         ->push('test.index')
         ->push('test.index', ['id' => 1]);
```

**Get routes**

To get added routes, just access `collection` attribute:

```
    $breadcrumb = Hiker::breadcrumb('my-breadcrumb');

    $breadcrumb->collection;
```
