The HTML5/JavaScript user interface provides an menu component for loading and rendering menus. Menus are the glue between several user interface components.

Data structure

• id (string)
• title (string)
• action (string)
• subentries (array)

If a menu item has sub entries it is a menu else it is a menu entry

Inexor Tree

The inexor tree contains the complete user interface menu tree. The menu component reads the menu tree from the inexor tree in order to build a menu dynamically. The menu is dynamic

Menu Manager

The menu manager provides several methods for manipulating the menu tree:

• menuEntry = addMenuEntry(parentId, id, title, action)
• removeMenuEntry(id)
• renameMenuEntry(id, newName)
• moveMenuEntry(newParentId, id)
