Filament Menu Builder

This Filament package allows you to create and manage menus in your Filament application.

[!NOTE] I created this for my personal project, so some features and extensibility are still lacking. Pull requests are welcome.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

You need to publish the migrations and run them:

You can publish the config file with:

Optionally, if you want to customize the views, you can publish them with:

This is the contents of the published config file:

Add the plugin to AdminPanelProvider:

Usage

Adding locations

Locations are the places where you can display menus in the frontend. You can add locations in the AdminPanelProvider:

The first argument is the key of the location, and the second argument is the title of the location.

Alternatively, you may add locations using an array:

Setting up Menu Panels

Menu panels are the panels that contain the menu items which you can add to the menus.

Custom Menu Panel

By default, the package provides a Custom Link menu panel that allows you to add custom links to the menus.

Static Menu Panel

The static menu panel allows you to add menu items manually.

Similarily to locations, you may also add static menu items using an array:

Model Menu Panel

The model menu panel allows you to add menu items from a model.

To create a model menu panel, your model must implement the \Datlechin\FilamentMenuBuilder\Contracts\MenuPanelable interface and \Datlechin\FilamentMenuBuilder\Concerns\HasMenuPanel trait.

Then you will need to implement the following methods:

Then you can add the model menu panel to the plugin:

Additional Menu Panel Options

When registering a menu panel, multiple methods are available allowing you to configure the panel's behavior such as collapse state and pagination.

Custom Fields

In some cases, you may want to extend menu and menu items with custom fields. To do this, start by passing an array of form components to the addMenuFields and addMenuItemFields methods when registering the plugin:

Next, create a migration adding the additional columns to the appropriate tables:

Once done, simply run php artisan migrate.

Customizing the Resource

Out of the box, a default Menu Resource is registered with Filament when registering the plugin in the admin provider. This resource can be extended and overridden allowing for more fine-grained control.

Start by extending the Datlechin\FilamentMenuBuilder\Resources\MenuResource class in your application. Below is an example:

Now pass the custom resource to usingResource while registering the plugin with the panel:

Customizing the Models

The default models used by the plugin can be configured and overridden similarly to the plugin resource as seen above.

Simply extend the default models and then pass the classes when registering the plugin in the panel:

Using Menus

Getting the assigned menu for a registered location can be done using the Menu model. Below we will call the menu assigned to the primary location:

Menu items can be iterated from the menuItems relationship:

When a menu item is a parent, a collection of the child menu items will be available on the children property:
