Yii2 Menu Bar Visibility to a Specific User - php

Question

In my main.php, I have a menu:
'items' => [
['label' => 'Home', 'url' => ['/site/index']],
['label' => 'Biz Staff', 'url' => ['bizstaff/index'], 'visible' => User::isBizAdmin(), 'items' => [
['label' => 'Staff List', 'url' => 'index.php?r=user/index'],
['label' => 'Add Staff', 'url' => 'index.php?r=user/create'],
]],
['label' => 'Transaction', 'url' => ['transactions/index'], 'visible' => User::isBizAdmin() || User::isBizStaff(), 'items' => [
['label' => 'Transactions', 'url' => 'index.php?r=transactions/index'],
['label' => 'Add Transactions', 'url' => 'index.php?r=transactions/create'],
]],
Yii::$app->user->isGuest ?
['label' => 'Login', 'url' => ['/site/login']] :
['label' => 'Logout (' . Yii::$app->user->identity->username . ')',
'url' => ['/site/logout'],
'linkOptions' => ['data-method' => 'post']
],
],
Here, I am logged in as the superadmin (note that only Home and Logout menu is visible to superadmin user). Inside the homepage (Home menu) is a List of Biz Admins which is placed inside a GridView widget. It has an Action column where view, update and delete icons are placed. When I click the view icon of a specific Biz Admin, it will then render a detailed view page of that Biz Admin where its Store Name and List of Staff are seen. In this page, there is a View Store button which will redirect to the bizadmin view/page.
Whenever superadmin lands on bizadmin view/page, the menu bar should now change to:
Home, Biz Staff, Transaction, Logout
How do I do this? Is it set in the visible attribute?
Any of your answers would be highly appreciated. I am currently stuck in this problem.

Answer 1

Yes. You should use visible property. 'visible' => true or 'visible' => false.
Or you may assemble an array. Like that:
NavBar::begin([
'brandLabel' => 'My Company',
'brandUrl' => Yii::$app->homeUrl,
'options' => [
'class' => 'navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top',
],
]);
$menuItems = [
['label' => 'Home', 'url' => ['/site/index']],
['label' => 'About', 'url' => ['/site/about']],
['label' => 'Contact', 'url' => ['/site/contact']],
];
if (Yii::$app->user->isGuest) {
$menuItems[] = ['label' => 'Signup', 'url' => ['/site/signup']];
$menuItems[] = ['label' => 'Login', 'url' => ['/site/login']];
} else {
$menuItems[] = [
'label' => 'Logout (' . Yii::$app->user->identity->username . ')',
'url' => ['/site/logout'],
'linkOptions' => ['data-method' => 'post']
];
}
echo Nav::widget([
'options' => ['class' => 'navbar-nav navbar-right'],
'items' => $menuItems,
]);
NavBar::end();

You can make use of Yii::$app->controller->action->id or Yii::$app->controller->id to render menus based on your path.
NavBar::begin([
'brandLabel' => 'My Company',
'brandUrl' => Yii::$app->homeUrl,
'options' => [
'class' => 'navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top',
],
]);
$menuItems = [
['label' => 'Home', 'url' => ['/site/index']],
['label' => 'About', 'url' => ['/site/about']],
['label' => 'Contact', 'url' => ['/site/contact']],
];
if (Yii::$app->controller->action->id == 'put your id here') {
$menuItems[] = ['render your menu here'];
} else {
'do something here'
}
echo Nav::widget([
'options' => ['class' => 'navbar-nav navbar-right'],
'items' => $menuItems,
]);
NavBar::end();
