Usage

SimpleNavigation provides a simple make function that expects an array with the menu items you want to render, it can be a simple array:

$simpleNav = new JVS\SimpleNavigation;
$navItems = array('Home', 'About Us', 'Blog');

echo $simpleNav->make($navItems);

Which outputs:

<ul>
    <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">About Us</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Blog</a></li>
</ul>

A multi-dimensional array with key/value pairs representing the label and url of the item:

$simpleNav = new JVS\SimpleNavigation;
$navItems = array(
    'Home'     => 'http://www.example.com/',
    'About Us' => 'http://www.example.com/about.php',
    'Blog'     => 'http://www.example.com/blog.php',
);

echo $simpleNav->make($navItems);

Which outputs:

<ul>
    <li><a href="http://www.example.com/">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="http://www.example.com/about.php">About Us</a></li>
    <li><a href="http://www.example.com/blog.php">Blog</a></li>
</ul>

Or a fully nested array of arrays:

$simpleNav = new JVS\SimpleNavigation;
$navItems = array(
    'Home'     => 'http://www.example.com/',
    'About Us' => array(
        'Our Company' => 'http://www.example.com/about/company.php',
        'Our Team'    => 'http://www.example.com/about/team.php',
    ),
    'Blog'     => 'http://www.example.com/blog.php',
);

echo $simpleNav->make($navItems);

Which outputs:

<ul>
    <li><a href="http://www.example.com/">Home</a></li>
    <li>
        <a href="http://www.example.com/about.php">About Us</a>
        <ul>
            <li><a href="http://www.example.com/about/company.php"></a></li>
            <li><a href="http://www.example.com/about/team.php"></a></li>
        </ul>  
    </li>
    <li><a href="http://www.example.com/blog.php">Blog</a></li>
</ul>

That's all there is to it for now.
