Creating the Drag & Drop list

<div class="panel-body" id="cont">
    <ul id="myEditor" class="sortableLists list-group">
    </ul>
</div>

Creating the form

• The inputs for items should be have the class="item-menu"
• The icon picker should be have the id=[LIST_ID]+"_icon"

<form id="frmEdit" class="form-horizontal">
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="text" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Text</label>
        <div class="col-sm-10">
            <div class="input-group">
                <input type="text" class="form-control item-menu" id="text" name="text" placeholder="Text">
                <div class="input-group-btn">
                    <button id="myEditor_icon" class="btn btn-default" data-iconset="fontawesome" data-icon="" type="button"></button>
                </div>
                <input type="hidden" name="icon" class="item-menu">
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="mnu_href" class="col-sm-2 control-label">URL</label>
        <div class="col-sm-10">
            <input type="text" class="form-control item-menu" id="href" name="href" placeholder="URL">
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="target" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Target</label>
        <div class="col-sm-10">
            <select name="target" id="target" class="form-control item-menu">
                <option value="_self">Self</option>
                <option value="_blank">Blank</option>
                <option value="_top">Top</option>
            </select>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="title" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Tooltip</label>
        <div class="col-sm-10">
            <input type="text" class="form-control item-menu" id="title" name="title" placeholder="Text">
        </div>
    </div>
</form>

Create and Setting the MenuEditor object

var iconPickerOpt = {cols: 5, searchText: "Buscar...", labelHeader: '{0} de {1} Pags.', footer: false};
var options = {
    hintCss: {'border': '1px dashed #13981D'},
    placeholderCss: {'background-color': 'gray'},
    ignoreClass: 'btn',
    opener: {
        active: true,
        as: 'html',
        close: '<i class="fa fa-minus"></i>',
        open: '<i class="fa fa-plus"></i>',
        openerCss: {'margin-right': '10px'},
        openerClass: 'btn btn-success btn-xs'
    }
};
var editor = new MenuEditor('myEditor', {listOptions: options, iconPicker: iconPickerOpt, labelEdit: 'Edit', labelRemove: 'Remove'});

Load data from a Json string

We have the method setData:

var strjson = '[{"href":"http://home.com","icon":"fa fa-home","text":"Home"},{"icon":"fa fa-bar-chart-o","text":"Opcion2"},{"icon":"fa fa-cloud-upload","text":"Opcion3"},{"icon":"fa fa-crop","text":"Opcion4"},{"icon":"fa fa-flask","text":"Opcion5"},{"icon":"fa fa-search","text":"Opcion7","children":[{"icon":"fa fa-plug","text":"Opcion7-1","children":[{"icon":"fa fa-filter","text":"Opcion7-2","children":[{"icon":"fa fa-map-marker","text":"Opcion6"}]}]}]}]';
editor.setData(strjson);

Output

We have the function getString

var str = editor.getString();
$("#myTextarea").text(str);
