Menu builder for Kirby v5

The CMS Questions
7

Thanks both. I think Iḿ pretty close to what I need.

I finally have separated the menus.yml

title: Menus

sections:
  menus:
    type: pages
    template: menu
    layout: cardlets

and menu.yml

title: Menu

sections:
  menus:
    type: fields
    fields:
      menu:
        type: structure
        fields:
          menuHeadline:
            type: text
            label: Menu headline
          menuItems:
            type: pages
            label: Menu item

from the site.yml

title: Site

sections:
  pages:
    type: pages
    layout: table
    search: true
  areas:
    extends: sections/areas

Now this is how the setup looks like in the back end:

What I still don’t have figured out is how can I access this menu data from the front end.

At the moment I’m testing it on the: kirby5plain/site/templates/default.php

<?php $menus = $site->menus()->toStructure(); ?>
<?php if ($menus->isNotEmpty()): ?>
    <?php foreach ($menus as $menu): ?>

        <?php $menuItems = $menu->menuItems()->toPages(); ?>
        <?php if ($menuItems->isNotEmpty()): ?>
            <nav class="footer-menu">
                <h4><?= $menu->menuHeadline()->html() ?></h4>
                <ul>
                    <?php foreach ($menuItems as $menuItem): ?>
                        <li><a <?php e($menuItem->isOpen(), 'aria-current="page"') ?> href="<?= $menuItem->url() ?>"><?= $menuItem->title() ?></a></li>
                    <?php endforeach ?>
                </ul>
            </nav>
        <?php endif ?>

    <?php endforeach ?>
<?php endif ?>

<h1><?= $page->title() ?></h1>

$site->menus() does not show anything.

Thank you again for your help.
