This plugin for Filament provides a `Navigation` resource that lets you build structural navigation menus with a clean drag-and-drop UI.

## Installation

Begin by installing this package via Composer:

```sh
composer require ryangjchandler/filament-navigation
```

Run migrations.

```sh
php artisan migrate
```

Publish the package's assets:

```sh
php artisan filament:assets
```

## Usage

You first need to register the plugin with Filament. This can be done inside of your `PanelProvider`, e.g. `AdminPanelProvider`.

```php
use RyanChandler\FilamentNavigation\FilamentNavigation;

return $panel
->plugin(FilamentNavigation::make());
```

If you wish to customise the navigation group, sort or icon, you can use the `NavigationResource::navigationGroup()`, `NavigationResource::navigationSort()` and `NavigationResource::navigationIcon()` methods.

### Data structure

Each navigation menu is required to have a `name` and `handle`. The `handle` should be unique and used to retrieve the menu.

Items are stored inside of a JSON column called `items`. This is a recursive data structure that looks like:

```json
[
{
"label": "Home",
"type": "external-link",
"data": {
"url": "/",
"target": "_blank",
},
"children": [
// ...
],
}
]
```

The recursive structure makes it really simple to render nested menus / dropdowns:

```blade


    @foreach($menu->items as $item)

  • {{ $item['label'] }}

    @if($item['children'])


      {{-- Render the item's children here... --}}

    @endif

  • @endforeach

```

### Retrieving a navigation object

To retrieve a navigation object, provide the handle to the `RyanChandler\FilamentNavigation\Models\Navigation::fromHandle()` method.

```php
use RyanChandler\FilamentNavigation\Models\Navigation;

$menu = Navigation::fromHandle('main-menu');
```

### Custom item types

Out of the box, this plugin comes with a single "item type" called "External link". This item type expects a URL to be provided and an optional "target" (same tab or new tab).

It's possible to extend the plugin with custom item types. Custom item types have a name and an array of Filament field objects (or a `Closure` that produces an array) that will be displayed inside of the "Item" modal.

This API allows you to deeply integrate navigation menus with your application's own entities and models.

```php
return $panel
->plugin(
FilamentNavigation::make()
->itemType('post', [
Select::make('post_id')
->//...
])
);
```

All custom fields for the item type can be found inside of the `data` property on the item.

### Global custom fields

There might be cases where you want all item types to have an additional set of fields. This is useful for classes, custom IDs and more.

To register global custom fields, use the `withExtraFields()` method on the plugin object.

```php
return $panel
->plugin(
FilamentNavigation::make()
->withExtraFields([
TextInput::make('classes'),
]),
);
```

### The `Navigation` field type

This plugin also provides a custom Filament field that can be used to search and select a navigation menu inside other forms and resources.

```php
use RyanChandler\FilamentNavigation\Filament\Fields\NavigationSelect;

->schema([
NavigationSelect::make('navigation_id'),
])
```

By default, this field will not be searchable and the value for each option will be the menu `id`.

To make the field searchable, call the `->searchable()` method.

```php
->schema([
NavigationSelect::make('navigation_id')
->searchable(),
])
```

If you wish to change the value for each option, call the `->optionValue()` method.

```php
->schema([
NavigationSelect::make('navigation_id')
->optionValue('handle'),
])
```

## Testing

```bash
composer test
```
