# Installation

Comes pre-installed in Enso.

# Features

• allow for the easy management of the main (sidebar) menus of the application
• permits the creation, update, delete, ordering of the menus

# Usage

Please note that because we want to keep the compiled size down, throughout the enso ecosystem, icons are imported selectively.

What this means for the menu editor, is that when adding/changing a menu, you should also make sure you import the required icons. The proper place to include the new icons is:

resources/js/app.js

# Under the Hood

• a menu element may have several roles attached and is rendered only for the users with the respective roles
• menu element attributes:
  • parent_id: the id of its parent menu, if he has a parent, or null
  • name: the label that is translated and visible in the UI
  • icon: the icon classes, visible in the UI
  • order_index: used for ordering the elements of the menu in the desired sequence
  • link: is the link that's going to be accessed when clicking on the menu
  • has_children: is a flag telling us if a menu element has children and is used when rendering the menu
• for the menu changes to take effect, a page refresh or a re-login is needed

# Publishes

• php artisan vendor:publish --tag=menus-factory - the factory for the Menu model
• php artisan vendor:publish --tag=enso-factories - a common alias for when wanting to update the factories, once a newer version is released, usually used with the --force flag
