maig81/backpack-menu
====================

[](#maig81backpack-menu)

An multiple menu manager for Laravel Backpack. Created out of the need to make multiple menus and to include multiple models in the menu. It also has a bootstrap menu frontend blade files.

Install
-------

[](#install)

1. Run in your terminal: ```
    composer require maig81/backpack-menu

    ```
2. Edit `/config/app.php` and add to `providers` array ```
    Maig81\BackpackMenu\MenuServiceProvider::class,

    ```
3. Publish the views, config and migrations: ```
    php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Maig81\BackpackMenu\MenuServiceProvider"

    ```
4. Run the migration to have the database table we need: ```
    php artisan migrate

    ```
5. \[optional\] Add a menu item for it in resources/views/vendor/backpack/base/inc/sidebar.blade.php or menu.blade.php: ```
    php artisan backpack:add-sidebar-content " Menus"

    ```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

1. Edit `config/backpackmenu.php` and add models you need to be in the Menu system. The Model should have `title` as it will be in the list.
2. Edit files in `views/vendor/backpack_menu` if you need to alter the views. As the names suggest, `menu_template.php` is the outer template for the menu, and the `menu_item.blade.php` is a single link that calls itself recursively if there are children.
3. BackpackMenu model has `getMenuView()` that will generate a menu from `views/vendor/backpack_menu` views.

Example
-------

[](#example)

This is a crude example... You can make a field in your template to get the menu you need.

Add this to your view controller:

```
$menu = \Maig81\BackpackMenu\App\Models\BackpackMenu::find(1);
return view('your_view', ["menu" => $menu]);

```

Then, in your view you can add to get the bootstrap menu generated:

```
$menu->getMenuView();

```

To Do
-----

[](#to-do)

1. Add `Menuable` Trait that you can add to the model. It will add `getLink()` and `getTitle()` function.
