Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require rspeekenbrink/laravel-menu ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) A default menu will already be registered and bound to the `Menu` facade. You can add items to the menu like this: ``` Menu::add('itemName', '/'); // Menu::toArray() Output: [ [ 'name' => 'itemName', 'route' => '/', 'active' => true, ] ] ``` **The itemName should be unique within the menu since this is the identifier of the item in the Menu.** ### Route attribute and Active state [](#route-attribute-and-active-state) The route can be an absolute route like `'/dashboard/profile'` or a name of a route like `'dashboard.index'` for the automatic active state checking to work properly. If you want to use route names we recommend you to use [Ziggy](https://github.com/tightenco/ziggy) to convert the names to URLs in your front-end. The active attribute is a boolean that will be true if the route matches the route of the current request (path or name wise). ### Nested Routes [](#nested-routes) To create nested items you could use the following: ``` Menu::add('dashboard', '/')->addChildren(function () { Menu::add('stats', '/stats'); Menu::add('profile', '/profile'); }); // Menu::toArray() Output: [ [ 'name' => 'dashboard', 'route' => '/', 'active' => true, 'children' => [ [ 'name' => 'dashboard.stats', 'route' => '/stats', 'active' => false, ], [ 'name' => 'dashboard.profile', 'route' => '/profile', 'active' => false, ] ] ] ] ``` ### Attributes [](#attributes) You can pass attributes to the MenuItem to define values like Title or anything else you desire; ``` Menu::add('itemName', '/', ['title' => 'Dashboard', 'someAttribute' => 231, 'another' => 'value2']); // Menu::toArray() Output: [ [ 'name' => 'itemName', 'route' => '/', 'active' => true, 'title' => 'Dashboard', 'someAttribute' => 231, 'another' => 'value2, ] ] ``` ### Adding items condition wise or via Auth Guards [](#adding-items-condition-wise-or-via-auth-guards) If you would like to add menu items conditionwise, for example only add a menu item if a user is logged in, you can do it like this: ``` Menu::addIf($conditionOrClosure, 'itemName', $route, $attributes); ``` Or pass a Auth Guard: ``` Menu::addIfCan('MyAuthGuard', 'itemName', $route, $attributes); ``` ### Usage with InertiaJS [](#usage-with-inertiajs) The main purpose of this package is to create Menu objects that can be adopted easily by the Front-End. One of the easiest ways to transfer the objects from the back to the front is by using [InertiaJS](https://inertiajs.com/). ``` Inertia::share([ 'menu' => function () { return Menu::toArray(); } ]); ``` Then for example in your inertia-vue layout template; ``` {{ item.title }} {{ child.title }} ``` Testing ------- [](#testing) ``` composer test ``` Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) Please see [CONTRIBUTING](CONTRIBUTING.md) for details.
