The KnpMenu library provides object oriented menus for PHP. It is used by the KnpMenuBundle for Symfony but can now be used stand-alone.
KnpMenu uses Composer, please checkout the composer website for more information.
The simple following command will install knp-menu into your project. It also add a new
entry in your composer.json and update the composer.lock as well.
$ composer require knplabs/knp-menuKnpMenu follows the PSR-4 convention names for its classes, which means you can easily integrate
knp-menuclasses loading in your own autoloader.
<?php
// Include dependencies installed with composer
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Knp\Menu\MenuFactory;
use Knp\Menu\Renderer\ListRenderer;
$factory = new MenuFactory();
$menu = $factory->createItem('My menu');
$menu->addChild('Home', ['uri' => '/']);
$menu->addChild('Comments', ['uri' => '#comments']);
$menu->addChild('Symfony', ['uri' => 'http://symfony.com/']);
$menu->addChild('Happy Awesome Developers');
$renderer = new ListRenderer(new \Knp\Menu\Matcher\Matcher());
echo $renderer->render($menu);The above menu would render the following HTML:
<ul>
<li class="first">
<a href="/">Home</a>
</li>
<li class="current">
<a href="#comments">Comments</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="http://symfony.com/">Symfony</a>
</li>
<li class="last">
<span>Happy Awesome Developers</span>
</li>
</ul>This way you can finally avoid writing an ugly template to show the selected item, the first and last items, submenus, ...
