title: Using Macros
weight: 4

All classes in the laravel-menu package use the `Macroable` trait for quick & easy extensions.
## Example: Convenience Methods for Links
`Spatie\Menu\Laravel\Link`
```php
Link::macro('product', function (Product $product) {
return Link::action('ProductController@show', $product->name, [$product->id]);
});
echo Link::product(Product::findOrFail(1));
```
```html
Product #1
```
## Example: Html Macros
`Spatie\Menu\Laravel\Html`
```php
Html::macro('avatar', function (User $user) {
return Html::raw(sprintf(
'
',
$user->gravatar_link,
$user->name
));
});
echo Html::avatar(User::findOrFail(1));
```
```html
```
## Example: Registering Menu's for Quick Access
`Spatie\Menu\Laravel\Menu`
```php
Menu::macro('main', function() {
return Menu::new()
->route('home', 'Home')
->route('about', 'Home')
->route('contact', 'Home');
});
```
If you've registered the facade, You can call the macro without namespace imports in your blade view:
```html
```
