README

dynamic menu builder is a quick and easy way to create your menu. I'v always wanted a way to generate a menu without recreating everything from the Base.

note, vue.js ver2 will needed for this project.

Usage

Step 1: install it through composer

composer require mkdesignn/menubuilder

Step 2: Add the Service Provider

Mkdesignn\MenuBuilder\MenuProvider::class

Step 2: Add Facade class

'Menu'      => Mkdesignn\MenuBuilder\Facade::class

Step 3: publish the vendor files

PHP artisan vendor: publish

above command will publish menu folder which contains two files, index.js and style.css which both of them should be included and also this command will publish menu.php config file.

Examples

Create simple menu

echo Menu::render('vertical', new \App\Tag(), "vertical-menu");

this way we can build simple menu, as you can see render method takes 3 arguments which I describe each of them in the below.

first argument

the first argument Is the type of the menu which wants to be created. it could be vertical or horizontal.

second argument

the second argument is the table which we need to use it as a source.

The class that pass to the render method should be extended model abstract class

the table tag that has been passed to the render method has the below structure

as you can see in the above grid there are a bunch of fields but there are some that are not necessary to use like the bg_color, bg_hover_color, text_color, text_hover_color, but you can use each of them. this way the menu look likes much more dynamically. the field parent_id should remain parent_id .

third argument

The third argument passed to the render method, it's a class selector which we can use it to add some CSS style to the menu. If no class passed then mk_menu will be using as the default class.

fourth argument

we have the fourth argument which we can use it as configuration, the fourth argument should be an array and it'll be using for the configuration.

some of the examples

echo Menu::render('vertical', new \App\Tag(), "test");
