Documentation

After installing the module, you have to implement the navigation-middleware into your pipeline, so you basically add this line above the RouteMiddleware:

     $app->pipe(depa\NavigationMiddleware\Middleware\NavigationMiddleware::class);

To create a navigation, use the navigation.global.php (it's inside the config folder) as your basic (put it into config\autoload)

The basic structure of a menu-item must look like this:

'{navigation_Name}' => [
    'route' => '{route_name}', //route-name which is set in routes.php
]

if you want to add attributes to a menu-item (to the ul element), do this:

'{navigation_Name}' => [
    'attributes' => [...], //possibilitys in attributes-table described (at the bottom of the doc)
]

if you want to add link-attributes to a menu-item (to the a element), do this:

'{navigation_Name}' => [
    'linkAttributes' => [...], //possibilitys in link-attributes-table described (at the bottom of the doc)
]

if you want to add child-items to a menu-item, do this (you can use as many as you want):

'{navigation_Name}' => [
    'childs' => [...], //build the same as a normal menu-item
]

if you want to force a link-direction to an item then add this:

'{navigation_Name}' => [
    'uri' => '{https://www.designpark.de}',
]

a menu-item which contains any of the given examples could look like this:

'{navigation_Name}' => [
    'route' => '{route_name}',
    'uri' => '{https://www.designpark.de}',
    'attributes' => [
        'id' => '{some_id}',
        'class' => ['{class1} {class2}'],
    ],
    'linkAttributes' => [
        'id' => '{some_id}',
        'class' => '{class_1} {class2}',
    ],
    'childs' => [
        '{childNavigation_Name}' => [
            'route' => '{route_name}',
            'uri' => '{https://www.designpark.de}',
            'attributes' => [],
            'linkAttributes' => [],
            'childs' => [],
        ]
    ]
]

The example provided above would output the following HTML:

<ul>
    <li id="{some_id} class="{class1 class2} first last">
        <a href="{https://www.designpark.de}">{navigationName}</a>
        <ul class="menu_level_1">
            <li class="first last">
                <a href="{https://www.designpark.de}">{childNavigationName}</a>
            </li>
        </ul>
    </li>
</ul>

which would look like this:

• {navigationName}
  • {childNavigationName}
