Menu definition file

A menu definition file allows you to control the layout and structure of the menu on the left side of the Infrahub web interface. More information can be found in the Controlling the menu guide.

The menu definition file is a YAML file that follows a particular structure or schema.

At the top of the file we define a bit of boilerplate statements, to define the version of the schema of the file and the kind of content that it contains. We also define a spec mapping with a data key.

---
apiversion: infrahub.app/v1
kind: Menu
spec:
  data:

The value of the data key in the spec mapping, is a sequence (or list) of menu items.

A menu item is a mapping in which you can define the following key/value pairs:

Key	Type	Description	Mandatory
name	string	the name of the menu item	✅
namespace	string	the namespace of the menu item	✅
label	string	the name of the menu item in UI	❌
kind	string	selecting this menu item will take you to the list view of this schema node (this automatically sets the value for the path key to the correct value)	❌
path	string	selecting this menu will take you to this path (URL)	❌
icon	string	the icon of the menu item	❌
order_weight	integer	controls the ordering of menu items (lower values are ordered first)	❌
parent	string	a parent menu item (concatenated namespace + name)	❌
children	sequence	list of nested menu items	❌
