Dynamic menu laravel - php

Question

I am starting with laravel, and made an integration with bootstrap. I want to make a menu bar to access to the information by year, the menu is made I this way to the view
<li class="dropdown-submenu">
<a tabindex="-1" href="#">2007</a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li><a tabindex="-1" href="<?php echo url('/convenios/2007/registrar', $parameters = array(), $secure = null); ?>">Registrar</a></li>
<li>Consultar</li>
</ul>
</li>
I made this on a view called base.blade.php, there is a better way to make the menus or I made this in the right way?

Answer 1

menus table
id - parent_id - title - url - order - created_at - updated_at
Make Menu model
class Menu extends Model
{
public $timestamps = false;
protected $table = 'menus';
protected $fillable = array('parent_id','title','url','order');
public function parent()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Menu', 'parent_id');
}
public function children()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\Menu', 'parent_id');
}
}
in View
#foreach(App\Menu::orderBy('order','asc')->get() as $menuItem)
#if( $menuItem->parent_id == 0 )
<li {{ $menuItem->url ? '' : "class=dropdown" }}>
<a href="{{ $menuItem->children->isEmpty() ? $menuItem->url : "#" }}"{{ $menuItem->children->isEmpty() ? '' : "class=dropdown-toggle data-toggle=dropdown role=button aria-expanded=false" }}>
{{ $menuItem->title }}
</a>
#endif
#if( ! $menuItem->children->isEmpty() )
<ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
#foreach($menuItem->children as $subMenuItem)
<li>{{ $subMenuItem->title }}</li>
#endforeach
</ul>
#endif
</li>
#endforeach
you can make controller as you like
