Get tree-like object from menu

[devnull]

Hi;

Is it possible to return a tree like object containing the menus and children from the menu() class ?

i.e

Code:

$('#mm').menu('getItems');

Thanks

Not supported, I could not find that too.
Finally I ended up selecting all menuItems using jquery without having them as tree.
Because all items are just added before </body> from plain html this structure could not be extracted.

I added custom properties to the menu items and looped all of them with something like

 cmenu.menu('appendItem', {
                    parent: elem.target,
                    text: col.title,
                    custom: value
                });

  var menuItem = cmenu.menu('getItem', $('#customid')[0]); // contains custom
  cmenu.menu('enableItem', menuItem.target);

This method can be extended as below:

Code:

<script>
(function($){
	$.extend($.fn.menu.methods, {
		getItems: function(jq){
			return _items(jq);

			function _items(m){
				var items = [];
				$(m).children('.menu-item').each(function(){
					var item = jq.menu('getItem', this);
					if (this.submenu){
						item.children = _items(this.submenu);
					}
					items.push(item);
				});
				return items;
			}
		}
	});
})(jQuery);
</script>
