cakephp-menuComposable menus for CakePHP

A dependency-free menu builder, active-state matcher, and renderer for CakePHP 5.3+.

Composable builder

Nested trees with string and Cake array URLs, dividers, section headers, icons, badges, raw HTML, and per-item data. Import/export and build from a database.

Smart active state

Automatic active-item matching for array and string URLs, named routes, fuzzy matching, query-string handling, depth limits, and best-match arbitration.

Pluggable resolvers

URL, section, login, permission, authorization, and callback resolvers — compose them, or add your own on top of the defaults.

Multiple renderers

String template (default), Bootstrap 5, a full navbar, a collapsible sidebar, breadcrumbs, and JSON — with accessible markup out of the box.
