#Upgrade Guide

#Upgrade from v1.0 → v2.0

If you are upgrading from v1.0, run the following commands to install the latest version and publish the updated configuration file.

#Step 1: Update the package

composer require notebrainslab/filament-menu-manager:^2.0

#Step 2: Republish the configuration

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="filament-menu-manager-config" --force

The --force flag will overwrite your existing configuration file with the latest v2.0 version.

#Configuration

Publish the config file (Optional):

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="filament-menu-manager-config"

Publish the resource files (Optional):

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="filament-menu-manager-views"

#Plugin API (Fluent)

FilamentMenuManagerPlugin::make()
    ->locations([
        'primary' => 'Primary',
        'footer' => 'Footer',
    ])
    ->modelSources([
        \App\Models\Post::class,
        \App\Models\Page::class,
    ])
    ->navigationGroup('Content')
    ->navigationIcon('heroicon-o-bars-3')
    ->navigationSort(10)
    ->navigationLabel('Menus')
    ->authentication(function () {
        return auth()->user()->can('View:MenuManagerPage');

        // Expected boolean value: true or false
        // Based on your permission matrix
    }),

#Eloquent Model Sources

To make an Eloquent model selectable in the Models panel, add the trait:

use NoteBrainsLab\FilamentMenuManager\Concerns\HasMenuItems;

class Post extends Model
{
    use HasMenuItems;

    // Optional: override the defaults

    public function getMenuLabel(): string
    {
        return $this->title;
    }

    public function getMenuUrl(): string
    {
        return route('posts.show', $this);
    }

    public function getMenuTarget(): string
    {
        return '_self';
    }

    public function getMenuIcon(): ?string
    {
        return 'heroicon-o-document';
    }
}

Then register the model in the plugin:

FilamentMenuManagerPlugin::make()
    ->modelSources([
        \App\Models\Post::class,
    ])

#Render Menus in Blade

@php
    $manager = app(\NoteBrainsLab\FilamentMenuManager\MenuManager::class);

    $menus = $manager->menusForLocation('primary');

    $menu = $menus->first();

    $tree = $menu?->getTree() ?? [];
@endphp

@foreach($tree as $item)
    <a href="{{ $item['url'] }}"
       target="{{ $item['target'] }}">
        {{ $item['title'] }}
    </a>

    @if(!empty($item['children']))
        {{-- Render child items --}}
    @endif
@endforeach
