Laravel Menus

Usage Example

To create menus in your Laravel application, you should create a file at app/Support/menus.php. This file will be automatically loaded by the package's service provider.

Basic Menu Creation

<?php

use KyleMassacre\Menus\Facades\Menu;
use KyleMassacre\Menus\MenuBuilder;

// Create a menu
Menu::create('main-menu', function (MenuBuilder $menu) {
    // Add items to the menu
    $menu->add([
        'route' => 'home',
        'title' => 'Home',
        'icon' => 'fa fa-home fa-fw me-2',
    ]);
    
    // Add a menu item with a URL instead of a route
    $menu->add([
        'url' => '/about',
        'title' => 'About',
        'icon' => 'fa fa-info fa-fw me-2',
    ]);
    
    // Add a dropdown menu
    $menu->dropdown('User', function ($sub) {
        $sub->add([
            'route' => 'profile',
            'title' => 'Profile',
            'icon' => 'fa fa-user fa-fw me-2',
        ]);
        $sub->add([
            'route' => 'logout',
            'title' => 'Logout',
            'icon' => 'fa fa-sign-out fa-fw me-2',
        ]);
    });
});

Rendering Menus

To render a menu in your blade templates:

{!! Menu::render('main-menu') !!}

Or with a specific presenter:

{!! Menu::render('main-menu', 'App\\Http\\Presenters\\MainMenuPresenter') !!}

Important Notes

1. Ensure your routes are defined before creating menus that reference them
2. For route-based menu items, use 'route' => 'route.name' or 'route' => ['route.name', ['param' => 'value']] for routes with parameters
3. For URL-based menu items, use 'url' => '/path/to/page'

Laravel Menus

kylemassacre/laravel-menus is a laravel package which created to manage menus. It has a feature called presenters which enables easy styling and custom structure of menu rendering.

This package is a re-published, re-organised and maintained version of nwidart/laravel-menus, which isn't maintained anymore. This package is used in AsgardCMS.

With one big added bonus that the original package didn't have: tests.
