<ul id="myEditor" class="sortableLists list-group">
</ul>

Creating the form

  • The inputs for items should be have the class="item-menu"
  • The icon picker should be have the id=[LIST_ID]+"_icon"
<div class="card border-primary mb-3">
    <div class="card-header bg-primary text-white">Edit item</div>
        <div class="card-body">
        <form id="frmEdit" class="form-horizontal">
        <div class="form-group">
        <label for="text">Text</label>
        <div class="input-group">
        <input type="text" class="form-control item-menu" name="text" id="text" placeholder="Text">
        <div class="input-group-append">
        <button type="button" id="myEditor_icon" class="btn btn-outline-secondary"></button>
        </div>
        </div>
        <input type="hidden" name="icon" class="item-menu">
        </div>
        <div class="form-group">
        <label for="href">URL</label>
        <input type="text" class="form-control item-menu" id="href" name="href" placeholder="URL">
        </div>
        <div class="form-group">
        <label for="target">Target</label>
        <select name="target" id="target" class="form-control item-menu">
        <option value="_self">Self</option>
        <option value="_blank">Blank</option>
        <option value="_top">Top</option>
        </select>
        </div>
        <div class="form-group">
        <label for="title">Tooltip</label>
        <input type="text" name="title" class="form-control item-menu" id="title" placeholder="Tooltip">
        </div>
        </form>
        </div>
    <div class="card-footer">
        <button type="button" id="btnUpdate" class="btn btn-primary" disabled><i class="fas fa-sync-alt"></i> Update</button>
        <button type="button" id="btnAdd" class="btn btn-success"><i class="fas fa-plus"></i> Add</button>
    </div>
</div>

Create and Setting the MenuEditor object

// icon picker options
var iconPickerOptions = {searchText: "Buscar...", labelHeader: "{0}/{1}"};
// sortable list options
var sortableListOptions = {
    placeholderCss: {'background-color': "#cccccc"}
};
var editor = new MenuEditor('myEditor', 
            { 
            listOptions: sortableListOptions, 
            iconPicker: iconPickerOptions,
            maxLevel: 2 // (Optional) Default is -1 (no level limit)
            // Valid levels are from [0, 1, 2, 3,...N]
            });
editor.setForm($('#frmEdit'));
editor.setUpdateButton($('#btnUpdate'));
//Calling the update method
$("#btnUpdate").click(function(){
    editor.update();
});
// Calling the add method
$('#btnAdd').click(function(){
    editor.add();
});

Load data from a Json

We have the method setData:

var arrayjson = [{"href":"http://home.com","icon":"fas fa-home","text":"Home", "target": "_top", "title": "My Home"},{"icon":"fas fa-chart-bar","text":"Opcion2"},{"icon":"fas fa-bell","text":"Opcion3"},{"icon":"fas fa-crop","text":"Opcion4"},{"icon":"fas fa-flask","text":"Opcion5"},{"icon":"fas fa-map-marker","text":"Opcion6"},{"icon":"fas fa-search","text":"Opcion7","children":[{"icon":"fas fa-plug","text":"Opcion7-1","children":[{"icon":"fas fa-filter","text":"Opcion7-1-1"}]}]}];
editor.setData(arrayJson);

Output

We have the function getString

var str = editor.getString();
$("#myTextarea").text(str);
