The left sidebar of Akaunting contains the company switcher and menu. We use the akaunting/laravel-menu package as builder.
You may want to extend the menu by adding your own pages. You should listen to the AdminCreated
event for admin and/or PortalCreated
for client sides.
Here is a listener example:
<?php
namespace Modules\MyBlog\Listeners;
use App\Events\Menu\AdminCreated as Event;
class AddToAdminMenu
{
/**
* Handle the event.
*
* @param Event $event
* @return void
*/
public function handle(Event $event)
{
// Add child to existing menu item
$item = $event->menu->whereTitle(trans_choice('general.sales', 2));
$item->route('my-blog.posts.index', trans('my-blog::general.posts'), [], 4, ['icon' => '']);
// Add new menu item
$event->menu->add([
'route' => ['my-blog.posts.index', []],
'title' => trans('my-blog::general.posts'),
'icon' => 'edit',
'order' => 15,
]);
}
}
Menu documentation can help to understand the system, especially about how to find a menu item, add child ones, and create dropdown menus.
Icons
Akaunting ships with the following icon packs:
- Google icons https://fonts.google.com/icons
- Brand icons https://simpleicons.org
If you’re going to use any brand icon, you should add simple-icons-
prefix to the icon name. Example:
simple-icons-paypal
