A quick and easy way to build menus in Laravel
composer require rc1021/laravel-menu-architect
If you are in Laravel 5.5 you won't need to edit your config/app.php
, if you are in a previous version of Laravel, please do the following:
Append Laravel Menu service provider to providers
array in config/app.php
.
'providers' => [
/*
* Laravel Framework Service Providers...
*/
Illuminate\Foundation\Providers\ArtisanServiceProvider::class,
Illuminate\Auth\AuthServiceProvider::class,
Illuminate\Broadcasting\BroadcastServiceProvider::class,
...
Rc1021\LaravelMenuArchitect\LaravelMenuArchitectServiceProvider::class,
...
],
At the end of config/app.php
add 'MenuArct' => Rc1021\LaravelMenuArchitect\Facades\MenuArct::class
to the $aliases
array:
'aliases' => [
'App' => Illuminate\Support\Facades\App::class,
'Artisan' => Illuminate\Support\Facades\Artisan::class,
...
'MenuArct' => Rc1021\LaravelMenuArchitect\Facades\MenuArct::class,
],
This registers the package with Laravel and creates an alias called MenuArct
.
To use your own settings, publish config.
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Rc1021\\LaravelMenuArchitect\\LaravelMenuArchitectServiceProvider"
Start up laravel server
php artisan serve
and open http://127.0.0.1:8000/menu_arct get start.
You can seeder the database first.
php artisan db:seed --class=MenuArchitectSeeder
Finally, open a view and add:
{!! menu_arct('admin') !!}
Your menu will be created and displayed on the page.
You can also get menu data format by 'array' or 'json', like that:
$arr_menu = menu_arct('admin', '_array');
$json_menu = menu_arct('admin', '_json');
You can customize some methods to use $menu
, $menu->items
(relation with menu_id), $items
(parent-children).
$customize_func = function ($menu)
{
// $menu: main menu modal.
// $menu->items: items by menu_id.
// $menu->buildTree(): get a hierarchical array data.(parent, children)
$collection = collect($menu->items);
$filtered = $collection->filter(function ($item, $key) {
return $item['depth'] == 2 and isset($item['children']);
});
return $filtered->all();
}
$customize_data = menu_arct('admin', 'key', ['key' => $customize_func]);
Now, you can add a view to resources/views/vendor/menu_architect/display
to render menu.
if you have a view called your_view.blade.php
// your_view.blade.php
// $menu: main menu modal
// $menu->items: items by menu_id
// $items: Hierarchical array data(parent, children)
<ul class="sidebar-menu tree" data-widget="tree">
@foreach ($items as $item)
<li class="header {{$item['class']}}" style="{{empty($item['color'])?:'color:'.$item['color']}}">{{$item['label']}}</li>
@if(isset($item['children']))
@each('menu_architect::menu.display.adminlte_list', $item['children'], 'item')
@endif
@endforeach
</ul>
and you can do menu_arct('admin', 'your_view')
to render result
