NAME
Prophet:Web::Menu - Handle the API for menu navigation
METHODS
new PARAMHASH
Creates a new Prophet::Web::Menu object. Possible keys in the PARAMHASH are label
, parent
, sort_order
, url
, and active
. See the subroutines with the respective name below for each option's use.
label [STRING]
Sets or returns the string that the menu item will be displayed as.
parent [MENU]
Gets or sets the parent Prophet::Web::Menu of this item; this defaults to null. This ensures that the reference is weakened.
sort_order [NUMBER]
Gets or sets the sort order of the item, as it will be displayed under the parent. This defaults to adding onto the end.
link
Gets or set a Jifty::Web::Link object that represents this menu item. If you're looking to do complex ajaxy things with menus, this is likely the option you want.
target [STRING]
Get or set the frame or pseudo-target for this link. something like _blank
class [STRING]
Gets or sets the CSS class the link should have in addition to the default classes. This is only used if link
isn't specified.
url
Gets or sets the URL that the menu's link goes to. If the link provided is not absolute (does not start with a "/"), then is is treated as relative to it's parent's url, and made absolute.
active [BOOLEAN]
Gets or sets if the menu item is marked as active. Setting this cascades to all of the parents of the menu item.
child KEY [, PARAMHASH]
If only a KEY is provided, returns the child with that KEY.
Otherwise, creates or overwrites the child with that key, passing the PARAMHASH to "new" in Jifty::Web::Menu. Additionally, the paramhash's label
defaults to the KEY, and the sort_order
defaults to the pre-existing child's sort order (if a KEY
is being over-written) or the end of the list, if it is a new KEY
.
active_child
Returns the first active child node, or undef
is there is none.
delete KEY
Removes the child with the provided KEY.
children
Returns the children of this menu item in sorted order; as an array in array context, or as an array reference in scalar context.
render_as_menubar [PARAMHASH]
Render menubar with YUI menu, suitable for an application's menu. It can support arbitary levels of submenu.
as_link
Return this menu item as a Jifty::Web::Link
, either the one we were initialized with or a new one made from the /label
and /url
If there's no /url
and no /link
, renders just the label.
