Add items from packages/ multiple places

[nasirkhan]

I installed and added a menu in one of my applications. I add the menu from a Blade Component. I have a number of packages and I want to add items to the same menu if they are installed.

Example Case

I created a Top Nav menu as Blade Component. I have a Blog package. If I install that package a menu item needs to be displayed in Top Nav which I created earlier.

Is is possible to add items to menus from multiple places? if so, how can I do that?

This would be awesome to have! If anyone has an idea how to accomplish this, that would be great!

Has anyone found a solution? I found two ways to add an item to the menu. The first one adds the menu item to the end of the menu, while the second one adds the menu item to a specific position, but it's not optimized. I'll share the first one.

Menu::macro('main', function () {
            $menu = Menu::new()->add() //your menu items.
            Event::dispatch('menu.building', $menu);
            $menu->setActiveFromRequest();
            return $menu;
});

in the plugin service provider

Event::listen('menu.building', function ($menu) {
          $menu->add() //add new menu items.
});
