FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Menu Manager lets you define Laravel navigation menus in one config file and

route parameters, HTML tags, CSS classes, Font Awesome icons, dropdowns, and
Spatie permission checks from config/menu-manager.php.
Features
- Config-driven Laravel sidebar and top navigation menus.
- One reusable Blade renderer for multiple menu locations.
- Permission-aware links using Laravel authorization and Spatie permissions.
- Dropdown menu support with configurable wrapper, toggle, and child classes.
- Route parameters, icons, custom attributes, active classes, and raw HTML items.
- Publishable config and views for Laravel admin panels and dashboards.

Releases
Releases are documented automatically by GitHub Actions when a semantic version tag is pushed:
The release workflow validates Composer, installs dependencies, runs PHPUnit, and creates a GitHub release with generated release notes.
Update CHANGELOG.md before tagging.
MCP Compatibility
This package is a Laravel Composer package, not a Model Context Protocol server.
It includes MCP.md and llms.txt for AI/agent-friendly project metadata, but
it does not publish an MCP server.json because it does not expose MCP tools,
resources, prompts, or transport.
