A quick and easy way to create menus in Laravel 5
composer require noob/simple_menu_laravel
Now, append Laravel Menu service provider to providers
array in config/app.php
.
<?php
'providers' => [
/*
* Laravel Framework Service Providers...
*/
...
'noob\simple_menu_laravel\SimpleMenuServiceProvider::class',
...
],
?>
At the end of config/app.php
add 'SimpleMenu' => 'noob\simple_menu_laravel\SimpleMenuFacade'
to the $aliases
array:
<?php
'aliases' => [
...
'SimpleMenu' => 'noob\simple_menu_laravel\SimpleMenuFacade',
],
?>
This registers the package with Laravel and creates an alias called SimpleMenu
.
Now publish the config files and view files to the appropriate directory
php artisan vendor:publish
Once published two new files are created at config/menu.php
<?php
'dash_board' => [
'title' => 'dashboard',
'url' => '/',
'order' => 2,
'children' => []
],
?>
and another one in the views folder at resources/views/Layouts/menu.blade.php
