• Get menu tree by using menu id

use BalajiDharma\LaravelMenu\Models\MenuItem;

$items = (new MenuItem)->toTree($menu->id);

• Get menu tree by using menu machine name

use BalajiDharma\LaravelMenu\Models\Menu;

$items = Menu::getMenuTree('admin');

Menu Link Tokens

• Enter <admin> to add admin prefix to the link.
• Enter <nolink> for non link menu.

use BalajiDharma\LaravelMenu\Models\MenuItem;


MenuItem::find(1)->link;
