Installation

composer require noob/simple_menu_laravel

Now, append Laravel Menu service provider to providers array in config/app.php.

<?php

'providers' => [

        /*
         * Laravel Framework Service Providers...
         */
        ...
        
            'noob\simple_menu_laravel\SimpleMenuServiceProvider::class',
        
        ...

],
?>

At the end of config/app.php add 'SimpleMenu' => 'noob\simple_menu_laravel\SimpleMenuFacade' to the $aliases array:

<?php

'aliases' => [

    ...
    'SimpleMenu'       => 'noob\simple_menu_laravel\SimpleMenuFacade',

],
?>

This registers the package with Laravel and creates an alias called SimpleMenu.

Now publish the config files and view files to the appropriate directory

php artisan vendor:publish

Once published two new files are created at config/menu.php

<?php

    'dash_board' => [
        'title' => 'dashboard',
        'url' => '/',
        'order' => 2,
        'children' => []
    ],
?>

and another one in the views folder at resources/views/Layouts/menu.blade.php
