Usage & Features

\Novius\Backpack\Menu\Models\Menu::display('header', 'en');

To achieve that, first you need:, _(*7)

Configure the package. Take a look at the comments in:

/config/laravel-backpack-menu.php

Use the trait LinkedItems in the models you listed in the linkableObjects configuration

use Novius\Backpack\Menu\LinkedItems;

// And optionally overrides the base functionality to suit your needs:

public static function linkableItems(string $prefix = ''): array
public static function linkableRoute(string $routeName, string $translation): array
public function linkableUrl(): string
public function linkableTitle(): string
public function linkableId(): string

Add a link in your sidebar.blade.php file to get access from the backpack backoffice

<li>
  <a href="{{ route('crud.menu.index') }}">
      <i class="fa fa-list"></i>
      <span>{{ trans('laravel-backpack-menu::menu.menus') }}</span>
  </a>
