In combination with the database support, this will be needed.
It would be cool to add support for models that can implement a method to return menu details/options. This is useful in instances where you have e.g. a pages table and want to build a menu of pages based on their ID, so that if the name or slug updates, it will automatically be updated on the menu.
I'm thinking something along the lines of:
Adding the model menu item for Page ID 4
Menu::create('main', function($menu) {
$menu->model('App\Page\Page', [
'id' => 4
]);
});Syntax
$menu->model(object|string $model, array $options)
Menus will call getMenuOptions with the page and should return details about the menu item.
class Page extends Eloquent {
protected $table = 'pages';
protected $fillable = [
'name',
'slug',
];
/**
* Get menu options.
*
* @param MenuItem $item
* @return array
*/
public static function getMenuOptions(Page $page)
{
return [
'url' => url($page->slug),
'text' => $page->name,
];
}
}The class/method that gets called could default to the above but be customised like:
Menu::create('main', function($menu) {
$menu->model('App\Page\Page', [
'id' => 4,
'handler' => 'App\MenuComposers\Page@getOptions'
]);
});
