Drag and Drop menu generator for Laravel
========================================

[](#drag-and-drop-menu-generator-for-laravel)

An admin interface for [Laravel](https://laravel.com) to easily add, edit or remove Menus.

-------

[](#install)

1. In your terminal:

```

***Step 2 & 3 are optional if you are using laravel 5.5***

2. If your Laravel version does not have package autodiscovery then add the service provider to your config/app.php file:

```
SmartyStudio\LaravelMenu\MenuServiceProvider::class,
```

3. Add facade in the file config/app.php (optional on laravel 5.5):

```
'Menu' => SmartyStudio\LaravelMenu\Facades\Menu::class,
```

4. Publish the config file & run the migrations.

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="SmartyStudio\LaravelMenu\MenuServiceProvider"
```

5. Configure (optional) in `config/laravelmenu.php`:

- ***CUSTOM MIDDLEWARE:*** You can add you own middleware
- ***TABLE PREFIX:*** By default this package will create 2 new tables named "menus" and "menu\_items" but you can still add your own table prefix avoiding conflict with existing table
- ***TABLE NAMES*** If you want use specific name of tables you have to modify that and the migrations
- ***Custom routes*** If you want to edit the route path you can edit the field
- ***Role Access*** If you want to enable roles (permissions) on menu items

6. Run the database migrations:

```
php artisan migrate
```

Menu Builder Usage Example - displays the builder
-------------------------------------------------

[](#menu-builder-usage-example---displays-the-builder)

On your view blade file

```
@extends('app')

@section('contents')
    {!! Menu::render() !!}
@endsection
```

**You must have jQuery loaded before menu scripts**

```
@push('scripts')
    {!! Menu::scripts() !!}
@endpush
```

Using the Model
---------------

[](#using-the-model)

Call the model class:

```
use SmartyStudio\LaravelMenu\Models\Menu;
use SmartyStudio\LaravelMenu\Models\MenuItem;
```

Menu Usage Example (a)
----------------------

[](#menu-usage-example-a)

A basic two-level menu can be displayed in your blade template.

### Using Model class

[](#using-model-class)

```
// Get menu by ID
$menu = Menu::find(1);

// Get menu by Name
$menu = Menu::where('name','Test Menu')->first();

/**
 * Get menu by Name and the Items with eager loading.
 * This is RECOMENDED for better performance and less query calls.
 */
$menu = Menu::where('name','Test Menu')->with('items')->first();

// Get menu by ID
$menu = Menu::where('id', 1)->with('items')->first();

// Access by Model result
$public_menu = $menu->items;

// Convert it to Array
$public_menu = $menu->items->toArray();
```

### Using Helper class

[](#using-helper-class)

```
// Using Helper
$public_menu = Menu::getByName('Public'); // return array
```

Menu Usage Example (b)
----------------------

[](#menu-usage-example-b)

Now inside your blade template file, place the menu using this simple example:

```

        @if($public_menu)

                @foreach($public_menu as $menu)

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

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

                        @endif

                @endforeach

        @endif

```

### HELPERS

[](#helpers)

### Get Menu Items By Menu ID

[](#get-menu-items-by-menu-id)

```
use SmartyStudio\LaravelMenu\Facades\Menu;
...
/**
 * Parameter: Menu ID
 * Return:    Array
 */
$menuList = Menu::get(1);
```

### Get Menu Items By Menu Name

[](#get-menu-items-by-menu-name)

In this example, you must have a menu named *Admin*

```
use SmartyStudio\LaravelMenu\Facades\Menu;
...
/**
 * Parameter: Menu ID
 * Return:    Array
 */
$menuList = Menu::getByName('Admin');
```
