## What it is
A Laravel package for building and rendering navigation menus programmatically in PHP. It supports nested items, active-item detection, URL prefixing, and rendering as lists, divs, or Bootstrap navbars.

## Use cases
- create navigation menus in laravel
- render bootstrap navbar from menu items
- highlight active menu item based on url
- build nested sidebar menu with sub-items
- generate breadcrumbs from menu structure

## When to choose
- you are on Laravel 6-8 and need programmatic menu building
- you want active-state detection and nested menus out of the box

## When to avoid
- you use Laravel 9+ or newer frontend-first menu solutions
- you need a JavaScript-driven dynamic menu system

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: templating, ui-components, routing
- domain: web-development, frontend, backend
- platform: php
- tags: laravel, menus, navigation, blade, html-rendering, web-server
