Documentation

Rendering a menu:

{!! Menu::render($items, $attributes) !!}

Where $attributes is optional array of html attributes for ul element.

Rendering a list of menu items:

<ul>{!! Menu::items($items) !!}</ul>

Rendering a single menu item:

{!! Menu::item($label, $url) !!}
{!! Menu::item($label, $options) !!}
{!! Menu::item($options) !!}

See a list of available options below.

Basic example:

Menu::render([
    'Link to url' => 'bar',
    'Link to external url' => 'http://bar',
    [ 'label' => 'Link to url', 'url' => 'bar' ],
    'Link to route' => [ 'route' => [ 'route.name', 'foo' => 'bar' ] ],
]);

Rendering an item with a drop down menu:

{!! Menu::item([
    'label' => 'Settings',
    'icon' => 'wrench',
    'items' => [
        'Foo' => 'bar',
        '-', // divider
        'Logout' => [ 'route' => 'logout_path' ],
    ],
]) !!}

Controlling whether the item is visible:

{!! Menu::item([
    'label' => 'Foo',
    'url' => 'bar',
    'visible' => function () { return Config::get('app.debug'); },
] !!}

Item options

You can specify an array of following options:

  • label is a label of the item, automatically translated, so you can specify lang string id
  • url is the url which can be a full URI or local path
  • route to specify a route, possibly with parameters
  • secure; specify true to make url be secure (doesn't affect route option)
  • items is an array of items for drop down menu
  • linkOptions is an array of additional link attributes

Changing the state of the item:

  • visible is a boolean value or closure to specify whether the item is visible
  • active is a boolean value or closure to specify whether to add active class to item; if not specified, determined automatically based on current url
  • disabled is a boolean value or closure to specify whether the menu item is disabled

Presentation options:

  • icon is a glyphicon id, i.e. pencil
  • badge is a value for badge (scalar or closure)
  • and any other parameter that will be rendered as an attribute for <li> element.

Customization

Though this menu builder intended to be used together with bootstrap markup, you can customize it however you like by extending Illuminate\Html\MenuBuilder class and overriding base methods.
