README
A KnpMenu seasoned plugin that assists with creating menus for your CakePHP applications.
Requirements

- KnpMenu 3.3+

-
Use Composer to add the menu plugin to your project:
$ composer require icings/menu
-
Make sure that you are loading the plugin in your bootstrap, either run:
$ bin/cake plugin load Icings/Menu
or add the following call to your
Application
class'bootstrap()
method in thesrc/Application.php
file:$this->addPlugin('Icings/Menu');
-
Load the helper in your
AppView
class'initialize()
method, located in thesrc/View/AppView.php
file:$this->loadHelper('Icings/Menu.Menu');
Usage
Detailed usage documentation can be found in the docs folder. For those that are familiar with CakePHP and KnpMenu, here's two examples for a quick start.
Via the Menu helper
Build and render the menu via the helpers create()
and render()
methods:
$menu = $this->Menu->create('main'); $menu->addChild('Home', ['uri' => ['controller' => 'Pages', 'action' => 'display', 'home']]); $menu->addChild('About', ['uri' => ['controller' => 'Pages', 'action' => 'display', 'about']]); $menu->addChild('Services', ['uri' => '#']); $menu['Services']->addChild('Research', ['uri' => ['controller' => 'Pages', 'action' => 'display', 'research']]); $menu['Services']->addChild('Security', ['uri' => ['controller' => 'Pages', 'action' => 'display', 'security']]); $menu->addChild('Contact', ['uri' => ['controller' => 'Pages', 'action' => 'display', 'contact']]); echo $this->Menu->render();
In the default setup, this would generate the following HTML:
<ul> <li> <a href="/pages/display/home">Home</a> </li> <li> <a href="/pages/display/about">About</a> </li> <li class="has-dropdown"> <a href="#">Services</a> <ul class="dropdown"> <li> <a href="/pages/display/research">Research</a> </li> <li> <a href="/pages/display/security">Security</a> </li> </ul> </li> <li> <a href="/pages/display/contact">Contact</a> </li> </ul>
Using the library directly
Aside from using the menu helper and its various configuration possibilities, it's also possible to manually utilize the library provided by this plugin, optionally combining things with the KnpMenu library:
use Icings\Menu\Integration\PerItemVotersExtension; use Icings\Menu\Integration\RoutingExtension; use Icings\Menu\Integration\TemplaterExtension; use Icings\Menu\Matcher\Matcher; use Icings\Menu\Matcher\Voter\UrlVoter; use Icings\Menu\MenuFactory; use Icings\Menu\Renderer\StringTemplateRenderer; $factory = new MenuFactory(); $factory->addExtension(new RoutingExtension()); $factory->addExtension(new PerItemVotersExtension()); $factory->addExtension(new TemplaterExtension()); $menu = $factory->createItem('main'); $menu->addChild('Home', ['uri' => ['controller' => 'Pages', 'action' => 'display', 'home']]); $menu->addChild('About', ['uri' => ['controller' => 'Pages', 'action' => 'display', 'about']]); $menu->addChild('Services', ['uri' => '#']); $menu['Services']->addChild('Research', ['uri' => ['controller' => 'Pages', 'action' => 'display', 'research']]); $menu['Services']->addChild('Security', ['uri' => ['controller' => 'Pages', 'action' => 'display', 'security']]); $menu->addChild('Contact', ['uri' => ['controller' => 'Pages', 'action' => 'display', 'contact']]); $matcher = new Matcher(); $matcher->addVoter(new UrlVoter($this->request)); $renderer = new StringTemplateRenderer($matcher); echo $renderer->render($menu);
