Show 'menuitem' field name in frontend of module

Question

I have the following XML in my module params:

<field name="menulink" type="menuitem" default="45" label="Select a menu item to show" description="Select a menu item" />

If I echo

$menulink;

Then it shows the ID of the menu in the frontend, how can I get the menu name too?

Answer 1

You can use the following:

$menu = Joomla\CMS\Factory::getApplication()->getMenu();
$menuItem = $menu->getItem($menulink);

echo $menuItem->title;

If you var_dump($menuItem);, it will show you which properties are available for said menu item.
