=Dynamic Menu
==Introduction
Dynamic Menu is a gem to make it easy to add a custom menu to your application via a controller.
== Install
You need to add:

gem "dynamic_menu"

to your gemfile if you would like the latest stable version

if you would like the latest version (could be broke at download) you can add
this line to your gemfile:

gem "dynamic_menu",:git=>"git://github.com/plowdawg/dynamic_menu.git" 

== How to use

===Option1
You can create an array in a controller like so:

@actionMenuItem = Array.new

option1 = DynamicMenu::ActionMenuItem.new("Name",link_to_path)

@actionMenuItem[0] = option1

then you can refrence it by using a loop such as

@actionMenuItem.each do |menu|

menu.link_tag #this generates the entire link

end

if you need a delete and confirmation method then you can declare it like so:

option1 = DynamicMenu::ActionMenuItem.new("Link Name", link_to_path, :delete, "Are you sure?")

the first is what the link will look like on the view, second is the view, third is the method (only works
for delete) and the fourth is the confirmation method (which also only works on delete)

===Option2
Like Option1 except in your controller you can declare include DynamicForm right underneath the class

like so:

class SomeController < ApplicationController

include DynamicMenu

then instead of using DynamicMenu::ActionMenuItem.new you can use ActionMenuItem.new


==Tips
To prevent long code you can no arrays like so:

@actionMenuItems = Array.new

@actionMenuItems << ActionMenuItem.new("Link",link_path)
