Usage

Define Navigation

Dluwang/Navigator/Navigation is a class to define your navigation. The __construct method has two mandatory arguments and four optional arguments

public function __construct($id, $url, $order = 1, $parent = null, array $attributes = [], array $childs = [])

1. $id is the id of the navigation

2. $url is the url of the navigation

3. $order is number for sorting the navigation

4. $parent is the parent of the navigation

5. $attributes is the additional attributes of navigation

6. $childs is the childs of navigation

All of the properties above can be accessed via the object instance.

Registering child

There are two ways to register navigation's child.

• Eager child registration

$navigation->registerChild($childNavigation) // single child registration`

$navigation->registerChild([$childNavigation2, $childNavigation2]) // multiple childs registration

• Deferred child registration

Sometimes you want to hook navigation and register the child somewhere in your app. You just need to specify the parent argument with the navigation-id you want to hook.

$navigation = new Navigation('navigation-id', 'the-url', 'the-order', 'the-parent-navigation-id');

Retrieveing all childs

$navigation->childs()

Retrievent child by id

$navigation->child('navigation-id-wanted')

Define Navigator

Dluwang/Navigator/BaseNavigator is a class that act as the repository of Navigations. All Navigator implementation should implements Dluwang/Navigator/Navigator interface.

$navigator = new BaseNavigator()

Constructor has one optional argument which is the navigations you want to register.

Registering navigations

$navigator->register($navigation) // single navigation registration

$navigator->register([$navigation1, $navigation2]) // mutiple navigations

As mentioned above, the deferred child can be registered casually to navigator.

Retrieve raw registered navigations

This package under the hood do some data preparation such as sorting and collect deferred childs. To get raw data you can use.

$navigator->raw();

To specify parent, use:

$navigator->raw('parent-id');

To get prepared data you can use the methods below.

Retrieve all navigations

$navigator->navigations()

You can specify the navigations loaded by their parent.

$navigator->navigations('parent-id');

Retrieve navigation by id

$navigator->navigation('navigation-id')

Integration

Currently, this package only integrated with laravel framework. You can register your defined navigation in you app service provider at the boot method. This integration add a caching mechanism when building navigation

public function boot() {

	// define navigation
	$navigation = ...

	$this->app->navigator->register($navigation);

}
