README
The hoangphison/menu package provides a fluent interface to build menus of any size in your php application. If you're building your app with Laravel, the hoangphison/laravel-menu provides some extra treats.
Documentation is available at https://docs.spatie.be/menu.
Upgrading from version 1? There's a guide for that!
Human Readable, Fluent Interface
All classes provide a human readable, fluent interface (no array configuration). Additionally, you can opt for a more verbose and flexible syntax, or for convenience methods that cover most use cases.
Menu::newMenu() ->add(Link::to('/', 'Home')) ->add(Link::to('/about', 'About')) ->add(Link::to('/contact', 'Contact')) ->add(Html::empty()) ->render(); // Or just... Menu::newMenu() ->link('/', 'Home') ->link('/about', 'About') ->link('/contact', 'Contact') ->empty()
<ul> <li><a href="/">Home</a></li> <li><a href="/about">About</a></li> <li><a href="/contact">Contact</a></li> <li></li> </ul>
Or a More Programmatic Approach
Menus can also be created through a reduce-like callable.
$pages = [ '/' => 'Home', '/about' => 'About', '/contact' => 'Contact', ]; Menu::build($pages, function ($menu, $label, $url) { $menu->add($url, $label); })->render();
<ul> <li><a href="/">Home</a></li> <li><a href="/about">About</a></li> <li><a href="/contact">Contact</a></li> </ul>
Strong Control Over the Html Output
You can programatically add html classes and attributes to any item in the menu, or to the menu itself.
Menu::newMenu() ->addClass('navigation') ->add(Link::to('/', 'Home')->addClass('home-link')) ->add(Link::to('/about', 'About')) ->add(Link::to('/contact', 'Contact')->addParentClass('float-right')) ->wrap('div.wrapper')
<div class="wrapper"> <ul class="navigation"> <li><a href="/" class="home-link">Home</a></li> <li><a href="/about">About</a></li> <li class="float-right"><a href="/contact">Contact</a></li> </ul> </div
Not Afraid of Depths
The menu supports submenus, which in turn can be nested infinitely.
Menu::newMenu() ->link('/', 'Home') ->submenu('More', Menu::newMenu() ->addClass('submenu') ->link('/about', 'About')) ->link('/contact', 'Contact')) );
<ul> <li><a href="/">Home</a></li> <li> More <ul class="submenu"> <li><a href="/about">About</a></li> <li><a href="/contact">Contact</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul>
Some Extra Treats for Laravel Apps
The Laravel version of the menu package adds some extras like convenience methods for generating URLs and macros.
Menu::macro('main', function () { return Menu::new() ->action('HomeController@index', 'Home') ->action('AboutController@index', 'About') ->action('ContactController@index', 'Contact') ->setActiveFromRequest(); });
<nav class="navigation"> {{ Menu::main() }} </nav>

Usage
Documentation is available at https://docs.spatie.be/menu.
Upgrading to 2.0
Upgrading to 2.0 should be pretty painless for most use cases.
If you're just building menus...
- The
voidandvoidIfhave been removed. These can be replaced byhtmlandhtmlIf, with empty strings as their first arguments - The
prefixLinksandprefixUrlsmethods have been removed because they were too unpredictable in some case. There currently isn't an alternative for these, besides writing your own logic and applying it withapplyToAll.
If you're using custom Item implementations...
- The
HtmlAttributesandParentAttributestraits have been renamed toHasHtmlAttributesandHasParentAttributes. - The
HasUrlinterface and trait has been removed. Url-related methods now also are part of theActivatableinterface and trait.
New features...
- Added the static
Menu::buildand non-staticMenu::fillmethods to create menu's from arrays. - The
setActivemethod onActivatablenow also accepts a non-strict boolean or callable parameter to set$activeto true or false. Menu::htmlandMenu::htmlIfnow accept a$parentAttributesarray as their second arguments.
