Laravel Menu
Laravel Menu is a PHP package and Laravel web development tool designed for generating view-agnostic hierarchical navigation menus. It provides a fluent builder interface and global container registration to define application navigation structures that remain accessible across all views.
The package supports multi-level nesting for dropdown structures, automatic active state detection based on current URIs or routes, and custom HTML attribute rendering. It includes capabilities for conditional filtering, item sorting, custom HTML injection, dividers, metadata storage, and simultaneous group prefixing. Navigation items connect directly to standard URLs, named routes, or controller actions, with output configurable as lists, nested divs, or navigation bars.
