How do Recursive menu in laravel 5?

Menu and child menu in laravel 5.1

• So i have in my database a table with id, id_parent, title and so on.. I need to create a list with sublists from that. I need some sort of recursive function but don't know how to do that in laravel.. I tried class Goals extends Model { protected $table = 'goals'; public function subgoals() { return $this->hasMany(SubGoals::class, 'id_category'); } } class SubGoals extends Model { protected $table = 'goals'; public function goals() { return $this->belongsTo(Goals::class, 'id_category'); } } Controller: $treeView = Goals::with(['SubGoals'])->get(); And view: @foreach($treeView as $category) <li> <a href="#"> {{ $category->title }} </a> <ul> @foreach($category->subgoals as $subcategory) <li><a href="#">{{ $subcategory->title }}</a></li> @endforeach </ul> </li> @endforeach Didn't get the right result.. Maybe someone have a snippet..

• Answer:

  You dont need to create 2 classes, just need one like your example Goal. class Goal extends Model { protected $table = 'goals'; public function subgoals() { return $this->hasMany(Goal::class, 'parent_id', 'id'); } } then in the controller you need to "Query all parent Goals" like this: $parent_goals = Goal::whereNull('parent_id')->get(); and finally in the view: @foreach($parent_goals as $goal) <li> <a href="#"> {{ $goal->title }} </a> <ul> @foreach($goal->subgoals as $subgoal) <li><a href="#">{{ $subgoal->title }}</a></li> @endforeach </ul> </li> @endforeach that's it. hope that help's you.
