Introduction

This guide outlines the menu management API endpoints in the system. These endpoints allow you to generate navigation menus and breadcrumb trails dynamically based on the menu structure configured in the system.

The Menu API provides functionality for:

1. Menu Generation

• Generate hierarchical navigation menus with configurable depth

• Support for multi-level menu structures

• Filter menus by parent node and depth height

• Automatic URL generation for menu items

• Category-based menu item integration

• Custom attribute support for menu items

2. Breadcrumb Generation

• Generate breadcrumb trails for navigation

• Support for different generator types

• Automatic path traversal from root to current item

• Integration with category hierarchies

• Multi-language support for labels and URLs

3. Menu Structure

• Tree-based menu hierarchy using Materialized Path (MP_Node)

• Visibility control for menu items

• Custom labels and URLs per menu item

• Integration with category catalog system

• Support for custom attributes via EAV (Entity-Attribute-Value)

• Automatic parent-child relationship management

Each endpoint is designed to support dynamic navigation generation for e-commerce platforms, content management systems, and web applications.

NOTE: All methods described in this documentation use the GET method and do not require authentication. Menus are publicly accessible and cached for optimal performance.
