Dynamic Menu
Build flexible, multi-level navigation structures that adapt in real-time to your users' needs. Define menu hierarchies and items programmatically or via configuration, and automatically filter visibility based on granular security permissions. Ensure every user sees exactly what they are supposed to access, without hardcoding menu layouts.
View PricingFeatures designed to decouple navigation structure from your codebase.
Runtime Structure Definition
Define and reorganize your application's navigation tree on the fly. Add new menu items or modify hierarchy levels without stopping the server or redeploying code.
Granular Permission Control
Automatically show or hide menu items based on the current user's roles and permissions, ensuring users only see what they are authorized to access.
Unlimited Multi-Level Hierarchy
Create deep navigation structures with unlimited nesting levels, suitable for complex enterprise applications with hundreds of views.
Multilingual Labels
Fully integrated with internationalization. Menu labels adapt dynamically to the user's preferred language without requiring redeployments.
Flexible Target Resolution
Support both internal application routes and external URLs, managed transparently through a single unified interface.
Navigation that adapts to security. Build complex, permission-based menu structures without writing a line of code.
