corcel: menu doesn't work as expected

as per this post https://github.com/jgrossi/corcel/issues/9, when creating menu items $item->title or $item->post_title does not pull through the expected menu entry. also $item->slug pulls through the slug of the menu item, not the post it relates to

the following issues seem to be present

menu item does not show title unless it is changed from the original page name
WP creates a nav_menu_item entry in wp_posts so using $item->slug etc gets the slug of the menu item, not the slug of the post the menu item is meant to point to

for every menu item I ended up creating a custom link (instead of a Page/Post/Category menu item) and then linking to $item->meta->_menu_item_url

what would be the correct way to loop through a WP menu with Corcel and get the links to my pages?

thanks j

I have same problem, and my solution is find term name by meta _menu_item_object_id:

$menu = \Corcel\Menu::slug('primary')->first();

$menuArray = array();

foreach ($menu->nav_items as $item) {

	$parent_id = $item->meta->_menu_item_menu_item_parent;
	
	if ($item->post_title == '') {
	
		$term_id = $item->meta->_menu_item_object_id;
		
		$term = \Corcel\Term::find($term_id);
		
		$item->post_title = $term->name;
		
	}
	
	$menuArray[$parent_id][] = $item;
	
}
