NAME

Dancer2::Plugin::Menu - Automatically generate an HTML menu for your Dancer2 app

VERSION

version 0.002

KEYWORDS

Wraps a conventional route handler preceded by a required hash reference containing data that will be applied to the route's endpoint.

Two keys can be supplied in the hash reference: a title for the menu item and a weight. The title will be used as the content for the menu items. The weight will determine the order of the menu items. Heavier items (with larger values) will "sink" to the bottom compared to sibling menu items sharing the same level within the hierarchy. If two sibling menu items have the same weight, the menu items will be ordered alphabetically.

Menu items that are not endpoints in the route or that are not supplied with a title, will have a title automatically generated according to their segment name. For example, this route:

/categories/fun food/desserts

Will be converted to a hierachy of menu items entitled Categories, Fun food, and Desserts. Note that captialization is automatically added. Automatic titles will be overridden with endpoint specific titles if they are supplied later in the app.

If no weight is supplied it will default to a value of 5.
