Laravel Menu Usage Example - displays the UI

On your view blade file

@extends('app')

@section('contents')
    {!! LaravelMenu::render() !!}
@endsection

// Recommended to Add Font Awesome CDN In Your Backend Header

//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/6.1.1/css/font-awesome.min.css

//YOU MUST HAVE JQUERY LOADED BEFORE menu scripts
@push('scripts')
    {!! LaravelMenu::scripts() !!}
@endpush

Using The Model

Call the model class

use Bdhabib\LaravelMenu\Models\Menus;
use Bdhabib\LaravelMenu\Models\MenuItems;

Menu Usage Example (a)

A basic two-level menu can be displayed in your blade template

Using Model Class

/* get menu by id*/
$menu = Menus::find(1);
/* or by name */
$menu = Menus::where('name','Your Menu name')->first();

/* or get menu by name and the items with EAGER LOADING (RECOMENDED for better performance and less query call)*/
$menu = Menus::where('name','Your Menu name')->with('items')->first();
/*or by id */
$menu = Menus::where('id', 1)->with('items')->first();

//you can access by model result
$primary_menu = $menu->items;

//or you can convert it to array
$primary_menu = $menu->items->toArray();

or Using helper

// Using Helper
$primary_menu = LaravelMenu::getByName('Primary'); //return array

Menu Usage Example (b)

Now inside your blade template file place the menu using this simple example

<nav class="" id="navbar">
    <div class="navbar__menu container">
        <ul>
            @if ($primary_menu)
                @foreach ($primary_menu as $menu)
                    <li>
                        <a href="{{ $menu['link'] }}" title="{{ $menu['label'] }}">{{ $menu['label'] }}</a>
                        @if ($menu['child'])
                            <ul class="sub-menu">
                                @foreach ($menu['child'] as $child)
                                    <li class=""><a href="{{ $child['link'] }}"
                                            title="">{{ $child['label'] }}</a>
                                    </li>
                                @endforeach
                            </ul><!-- /.sub-menu -->
                        @endif
                    </li>
                @endforeach
