Currently, I'm working on a project using Laravel, I haven't used Laravel since version 5, I think, also I stopped programming for about a year for different personal reasons.
The thing is that a lot of things have changed and one of them is that now Laravel has this package to manage the authentication process: Laravel/Breeze.
Puedes leer la versión en Español en mi blog.
I had some issues at the beginning because I didn't have the latest version of PHP, but after I solved them I was able to focus on the next steps. Tailwind is something really new for me and Laravel/Breeze is working with templates and styles using that library, but one thing that is missing is the "sub-menu" for the main links.
The menu has the option to have a drop-down for the user actions on the right side:
For the project I'm working on, I need to have a sub-menu for some of the main menu items:
Components
Following the same logic of the original components, I've created two components:
nav-link-parent.blade.php
@props(['active'])
@php
$classes = ($active ?? false)
? 'parent-nav inline-flex items-center px-1 pt-1 border-b-2 border-indigo-400 text-sm font-semibold leading-5 text-gray-900 focus:outline-none focus:border-indigo-700 transition duration-150 ease-in-out cursor-pointer relative'

@endphp

<div>

</div>
</div>
Style
Some CSS to set the right position for the elements.
app.css
.children {
background: #fff;
}
.children a,
.children .separator {
display: block;
margin: 5px 0px;
padding: 5px 10px;
}
.children .separator {
border-top-width: 2px;
}
.children a:hover {
color: #818cf8;
}
@media (min-width: 768px) {
.children {
position: absolute;
width: 155px;
top: 70px;
}
}
Update the Navigation layout
And last I've updated the navigation layout and have added two slots: name and children
navigation.blade.php
...
<x-nav-link-parent :href="'#'" :active="request()->routeIs('padron.')">
<x-slot name="name">Option A</x-slot>
<x-slot name="children">
<a href="#">Item A</a>
<span class="separator"></span>
<a href="#">Item B</a>
<a href="#">Item C</a>
<span class="separator"></span>
<a href="#">Item D</a>
</x-slot>
</x-nav-link-parent>
...
<x-responsive-nav-link-parent :href="'#'" :active="request()->routeIs('padron.')">
<x-slot name="name">Padrón</x-slot>
<x-slot name="children">
<a href="#">Buscador</a>
<span class="separator"></span>
<a href="#">Centros de votacion</a>
<a href="#">Juntas</a>
<span class="separator"></span>
<a href="#">Cartografia</a>
</x-slot>
</x-responsive-nav-link-parent>
Final Result
Top comments (3)
Thanks for sharing. I wanted to implement something like this using Jetstream. Currently, it appears the parent is not clickable as a link. I can see some advantages to this but also some limitations. Ideally, I would think that clicking on the arrow would allow the options to appear but clicking on the word would take you to the parent link.
Is tailwind working properly with laravel. terminology which i used Using Laravel Mix. some classes working but some are not. Tailwind is not working properly. Is all you faced the same problems.
