# Directory Structure

To ensure that the admin menu includes the necessary configuration, follow these steps:

In your package's source directory, which is typically located at packages/Webkul/Blog/src, create a new folder named Config if it doesn't already exist.

 └── packages
     └── Webkul
         └── Blog
             └── src
                 ├── ...
                 └── Config
                     └── admin-menu.php

Inside the newly created Config folder, create a file named admin-menu.php.

Copy and paste the following code into the admin-menu.php file:

<?php

return [
    [
        'key'        => 'blogs',
        'name'       => 'Blogs',
        'route'      => 'blog.admin.index',
        'sort'       => 2,
        'icon-class' => 'blog-icon',
    ],
];

In your admin-routes.php file (located in the same package's source directory), add the named route blog.admin.index as follows:
```
Route::get('/blog', [PostController::class, 'index'])->name('blog.admin.index');
```
In this step, we define the route that corresponds to the menu item added in the previous step.

To add the menu icon styling, open the assets/scss/admin.scss file within your package and add the following code:

.blog-icon {
    background-image: url("../images/blog.png");
    width: 45px;
    height: 45px;
    opacity: 0.6;
    margin-left: 4px !important;
}

.active {
    .blog-icon {
        opacity: 1;
        background-image: url("../images/blog-active.png");
    }
}

Ensure that you have the necessary .png image files (blog.png and blog-active.png) and manually place them inside the assets/images folder of your package.

To merge the admin-menu.php configuration with the core menu file, use the mergeConfigFrom() method in the register() method of your package's service provider. Here's an example:

<?php

namespace Webkul\Blog\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class BlogServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * Register services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function register()
    {
        $this->mergeConfigFrom(
            dirname(__DIR__) . '/Config/admin-menu.php', 'menu.admin'
        );
    }
}

Finally, run the following command to optimize your application:
```
php artisan optimize
```
After completing these steps, the menu item should appear in the admin panel.
