Modularous

Appearance

NavigationMiddleware ​

File: src/Http/Middleware/NavigationMiddleware.php
Alias: modularous.navigation
Part of: modularous.core group

Shares the resolved navigation config with the Blade layout views on every request.

What It Does ​

Registers a view composer for modularous::layouts.* and translation::layout:

php
view()->composer([
    'modularous::layouts.*',
    'translation::layout',
], function ($view) {
    $view->with('navigation', get_modularous_navigation_config());
});

get_modularous_navigation_config() reads the modularous.navigation config key (populated at request time by LoadLocalizedConfig) and returns the fully resolved navigation array used to render the sidebar and top navigation.

When It Runs ​

NavigationMiddleware is part of the modularous.core group, so it runs on every Modularous route — both public web routes and authenticated panel routes. The view composer is registered lazily; it only executes when a matching layout view is actually rendered.

Notes ​

  • Navigation data is shared only with Blade views. For Inertia pages, navigation is handled inside HandleInertiaRequests via storeData.config.
  • The navigation config is loaded at request time (after LoadLocalizedConfig has merged app overrides), so per-app navigation customisations in {base_path}/modularous/navigation.php are reflected without a config cache rebuild.
