Basic Usage

Add Menu Items

Make a new instance of the Navigation menu builder

<?php
$navigation = new Menu\Navigation();

Add some menu items

// Add links individually
$navigation->addLink('Home', '/', array('link_order' => -1000));
$navigation->addLink('About Me', '/about-me', array('link_order' => 2));

// Add an array of links
$navArray = [
    [
        'title' => 'My Link',
        'uri' => '/my-link-page',
        'link_order' => 3
    ],
    [
        'title' => 'Has Children',
        'uri' => '/child/',
        'link_order' => 4
        'children' => [
            [
                'title' => 'Second Child',
                'uri' => '/child/second',
                'link_order' => 2
            ],
            [
                'title' => 'First Child',
                'uri' => '/child/first',
                'link_order' => 1
            ],
            [
                'title' => 'Last Child',
                'uri' => '/child/last',
                'link_order' => 3
            ],
        ]
    ]
];

$navigation->addLinks($navArray);

The addLink method allows the following:

$navigation->addLink($title, $uri [, $options = []]);

• $title Is a string that should contain the test to display on the link
• $uri Is a string that should contain the link URI
• $options Is an array that can contain any of the following array elements ['label', 'uri', 'fragment', 'title', 'target', 'rel', 'class', 'id', 'link_order', 'active', 'li_class', 'li_id', 'ul_class', 'ul_id', 'children']

Set Current URI

Set the active link for the menu

 $navigation->setCurrentURI('/about-me'); // Makes the about me page the current select item in the menu

Render Menu

Output the menu to the screen

echo($navigation->render());

Render Breadcrumb Menu

Output a breadcrumb menu to the screen

echo($navigation->renderBreadcrumb());
