3.4 Adding menu items to the Integrated backend

Integrated navigation menu's are managed by the IntegratedMenuBundle. There, you can add or edit menu items from other bundles.

The IntegratedMenuBundle fires a ConfigureMenuEvent. You can listen to this event by using a Listener or Subscriber. You can read more about events in the Symfony Cookbook.

With this Listener you can edit the menu by adding, removing or replacing menu items:

<?php
// src/AppBundle/EventListener/ConfigureMenuListener.php
 
namespace AppBundle\EventListener;
 
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\HttpExceptionInterface;
 
use Integrated\Bundle\MenuBundle\Event\ConfigureMenuEvent;
 
class ConfigureMenuListener
{
    public function onMenuConfigure(ConfigureMenuEvent $event)
    {
        $menu = $event->getMenu();
 
        // You can check if you want to edit this menu
        if ($menu->getName() !== 'integrated_menu') {
            return;
        }
 
        // Customize the menu
        $label = $menu->addChild('This is just a label');
        $label->addChild('Menu item', array('route' => 'my_route'));
    }
}

After creating the Listener you can register it as a service and notify Symfony that it is a "listener" on the integrated_menu.configure event by using a special "tag":

# app/config/services.yml
services:
    kernel.listener.your_listener_name:
        class: AppBundle\EventListener\ConfigureMenuListener
        tags:
            - { name: kernel.event_listener, event: integrated_menu.configure, method: onMenuConfigure }
