Extending Vanilo's Admin Panel

#Views

If you want to define new views for the admin panel you need to use this layout:

@extends('appshell::layouts.default')

#Blade Sections

• title: <title>
• content: the body of the page
• footer: additional footer content
• scripts: scripts to add below <script src="/js/app.js">

#Menu

The admin menu was built with the konekt/menu library.

To add a new menu item to the admin you need to locate the menu using the Menu facade:

if ($menu = Menu::get('appshell')) {
    // Add a new group
    $newGroup = $menu->addItem('reports', __('Reports'));
    
    // Add an item to the new group:
    $newGroup
        ->addSubItem('abandoned_carts', __('Abandoned Carts'), '/admin/abandoned-carts')
        ->data('icon', 'accounts');
    
    // Add an item with route name:
    $newGroup
        ->addSubItem('campaigns', __('Campaigns'), [
            'route' => 'reports.campaigns.index'
        ])
        ->data('icon', 'shield-security');
}

For detailed usage instructions on menus, please read the konekt menu readme).

#Icons

The admin panel uses the Material Design Iconic Font. Refer to their site for the available glyphs and the names of icons.
