title: Passing a list of menu items to the sidebar in Backpack Laravel
body: <p>I'm trying to send a list to <code>sidebar_content.blade.php</code>. The idea would be getting the menu items from a database. I guess I should add the variable to the <code>@include</code> in every subview in the &quot;chain&quot;, but I don't know which controller (if any) starts that chain.</p>
  <p>I have read the docs and tried to find tutorials, projects or people asking similar things, but I found nothing. I know how to get the menu items from inside <code>sidebar_content.blade.php</code>, but that looks wrong.</p>
  <p>How should I go about doing this? I'm <em>extremely</em> new to both Laravel and Backpack, so it's very likely that I'm misunderstanding something basic.</p>
