/**
 * <p>This built-in snippet can be used to render a menu representing your SiteMap.
 * There are three main snippet methods that you can use:</p>
 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li>builder - Renders the entire SiteMap, optionally expanding all child menus
 *   <li>group - Renders the MenuItems corresponding to the specified group.
 *   <li>item - Renders the specific named MenuItem
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>More detailed usage of each method is provided below

The * menu is rendered as a set of nested unordered lists (<ul />). By * default, it only renders nested child menus for menus that match the current request path. * You can add the "expandAll" attribute to the snippet tag to force full expansion of * all child menus. Additionally, you can use the following attribute prefixes to further customize * the generated list and list item elements:</p> * * <ul> * <li>top - Adds the specified attribute to the top-level <ul> element that makes up the menu * <li>ul - Adds the specified attribute to each <ul> element (top-level and nested children) that makes up the menu * <li>li - Adds the specified attribute to each <li> element for the menu * <li>li_item - Adds the specified attribute to the current page’s menu item * <li>outer_tag - the tag for the outer XML element (ul by default) * <li>inner_tag - the tag for the inner XML element (li by default) * <li>li_path - Adds the specified attribute to the current page’s breadcrumb path. The * breadcrumb path is the set of menu items leading to this one.</li> * <li>linkToSelf - False by default, but available as 'true' to generate link to the current page * <li>level - Controls the level of menus that will be output. "0" is the top-level menu, "1" is children of * the current menu item, and so on. Child menus will be expanded unless the "expand" attribute is set to <pre>false
. * <li>expand - Controls whether or not to expand child menus. Defaults to
true
. * </ul> * * <p>If you are using designer friendly invocation, you can access the namespaced attributes:
* <div class="lift:Menu?li_item:class=foo+bar">menu</div> * </p> * * <p>For a simple, default menu, simply add

* * <pre> * <lift:Menu.builder /> * </pre> * * <p>To your template. You can render the entire sitemap with

* * <pre> * <lift:Menu.builder expandAll="true" /> * </pre> * * <p>Customizing the elements is handled through the prefixed attributes described above. * For instance, you could make the current page menu item red:</p> * * <pre> * <lift:Menu.builder li_item:style="color: red;" /> * </pre> */ def builder(info: NodeSeq): NodeSeq = { val outerTag: String = S.attr("outer_tag") openOr "ul" val innerTag: String = S.attr("inner_tag") openOr "li" val expandAll = (S.attr("expandAll") or S.attr("expandall")).isDefined val linkToSelf: Boolean = (S.attr("linkToSelf") or S.attr("linktoself")).map(Helpers.toBoolean) openOr false val expandAny: Boolean = S.attr("expand").map(Helpers.toBoolean) openOr true val level: Box[Int] = for (lvs <- S.attr("level"); i <- Helpers.asInt(lvs)) yield i val toRender: Seq[MenuItem] = (S.attr("item"), S.attr("group")) match { case (Full(item), _) => for{ sm <- LiftRules.siteMap.toList req <- S.request.toList loc <- sm.findLoc(item).toList item <- buildItemMenu(loc, req.location, expandAll) } yield item case (_, Full(group)) => for{ sm <- LiftRules.siteMap.toList loc <- sm.locForGroup(group) req <- S.request.toList item <- buildItemMenu(loc, req.location, expandAll) } yield item case _ => renderWhat(expandAll) } def ifExpandCurrent(f: => NodeSeq): NodeSeq = if (expandAny || expandAll) f else NodeSeq.Empty def ifExpandAll(f: => NodeSeq): NodeSeq = if (expandAll) f else NodeSeq.Empty toRender.toList match { case Nil if S.attr("group").isDefined => NodeSeq.Empty case Nil => Text("No Navigation Defined.") case xs => val liMap = S.prefixedAttrsToMap("li") val li = S.mapToAttrs(liMap) def buildANavItem(i: MenuItem) = { i match { // Per Loc.PlaceHolder, placeholder implies HideIfNoKids case m@MenuItem(text, uri, kids, _, _, _) if m.placeholder_? && kids.isEmpty => NodeSeq.Empty case m@MenuItem(text, uri, kids, _, _, _) if m.placeholder_? => Helpers.addCssClass(i.cssClass, Elem(null, innerTag, Null, TopScope, // Is a placeholder useful if we don't display the kids?
