How to render a menu of taxons (categories) in a view?¶

The way of rendering a menu of taxons is a supereasy reusable action, that you can adapt into any place you need.

How does it look like?¶

That’s a menu that you will find on the default Sylius homepage:

You can render such a menu wherever you have access to a category variable in the view, but also anywhere else.

The findChildren method of TaxonRepository takes a parentCode and nullable locale.

If locale parameter is not null the method returns also taxon’s translation based on given locale.

To render a simple menu of categories in any twig template use:

{{ render(url('sylius_shop_partial_taxon_index_by_code', {'code': 'MENU_CATEGORY', 'template': '@SyliusShop/Taxon/_horizontalMenu.html.twig'})) }}

You can of course customize the template or enclose the menu into html to make it look better.

That’s all. Done!
