webhandle-menus-1

Webhandle Menu loader

Loads menu definitions from a folder ('menus' by default.)

Install

It's installed when using the webhandle framework.

Usage

This operates as a page preload routine. By default, it loads the file main.json in the menus directory. The assumption is that this is the main top menu.

To load a different file from that directory as the main menu, you can specify in the page json file like:

{
	"menuName": "something-else"
}

Whatever is specified by menuName, the root of the menu tree is put into res.locals.menu and the individual items are put into res.locals.menuItems.

To have it load additional menus, add to the page json like this:

{
	"menuName": "something-else",
	"menuNames": ["how-to"]
}

The root will be added to res.locals.menus['how-to]
