MenuItems that infer from entity type config

[sleidig]

extend MenuItem interface and NavigationComponent to support an alternative menu item that configures the Entity Type and uses the label, icon and route of that type for the menu entry dynamically instead of configuring it explicitly (which duplicates the information and doesn't update when the user changes the label/icon of the entity).

• implement new interface
• implement generator from EntityMenuItem to normal MenuItem objects for the component

Maybe something like this:

/**
 * A simple object defining details of an entry in the main navigation.
 */
export interface MenuItem {
  /**
   * The text to be displayed in the menu.
   */
  label: string;

  /**
   * The icon to be displayed left of the label.
   */
  icon?: string;

  /**
   * The url fragment to which the item will route to (e.g. '/dashboard')
   */
  link?: string;

  subMenu?: MenuItem[];
}

/**
 * A alternative MenuItem details of an entry in the main navigation.
 * If a base MenuItem property (like "label") is defined, it overwrites the inferred value from the Entity type.
 */
export interface EntityMenuItem extends MenuItem {

  /**
   * The entity type to whose list this item should link.
   */
  entityType: string;
}

function getMenuItem(item: EntityMenuItem): MenuItem {
  // parse ... by looking up the entityType from EntityRegistry and then using its config:
  // link = entityType.route
  // icon = entityType.icon
  // label = entityType.labelPlural
}

[sleidig]

  constructor(entityRegistry: EntityRegistry) {
    const entityTypeObject = entityRegistry.get("Child");
    entityTypeObject
  }
  
  generateMenuItem(entityType: string): MenuItem {
    
  }

@george-neha, could you test the following on (https://pr-2875.aam-digital.net/)?

• Navigate to Children → Edit Data Structure → General Settings.
  • Try changing the Label (Plural) and Icon, then save the changes.
  • Verify that the Name and Icon are updated accordingly in the left sidebar menu.
