A plugin to make menus easier to write in symfony.

• Current menu item automatically given active class
• Menu items automatically given first and last classes
• Show/hide menus based on authentication, credentials
• Hide portions of the tree, or render down to a certain depth
• Menu rendered with "pretty" spacing for easier debugging & styling

Inspired by sympal and the SemanticMenu from Ruby on Rails.

A small book has been written to support this plugin and ioDoctrineMenuItemPlugin: Menu Reference Manual.

Assume any of the routes have been defined in routing.yml:

$menu = new ioMenu(); $menu->addChild('overview', '@homepage'); $menu->addChild('comments', '@comments'); echo $menu->render(); 

Assuming you are on /comments, the output would be:

<ul class="menu"> <li class="first"> <a href="/">overview</a> </li> <li class="current last"> <a href="/comments">comments</a> </li> </ul> 

The ioMenu class optionally takes an array of attributes as its first argument. You can also nest menus as deeply as you want:

$menu = new ioMenu(array('class' => 'top_level_nav')); $menu->addChild('overview', '@homepage'); $menu->addChild('comments', '@comments', array('class' => 'button')); $menu['comments']->addChild('My Comments', '@my_comments'); $menu['comments']->addChild('Recent', '@recent_comments'); echo $menu->render(); 

Assuming you're in the /my-comments page, the output would be:

<ul class="top_level_nav"> <li class="first"> <a href="/">overview</a> </li> <li class="button current_ancestor last"> <a href="/comments">comments</a> <ul class="menu_level_1"> <li class="current first"> <a href="/my-comments">My Comments</a> </li> <li class="last"> <a href="/recent">Recent</a> </li> </ul> </li> </ul>
