Component body
Menu Item Extras provides extra fields for the Menu Items without using additional entities. This module is NOT an alternative of all Mega Menu modules - it is unique implementation of Drupal core’s Menu system.
All fields are placed upon the Menu Item edit/add form and use core Menu link content entity for storing all data.
Requirements:
- This module uses core modules only.
Installation:
- Download and enable as normal module;
- Go to the menus list and edit menu which you want to have the extras.
Configuration:
- You can enable/disable extras per menu, by default we enable extras for the Main Menu. When extras is disabled, all data from the fields are removed;
- We added more suggestions for menus in regions. You could change menu template per region.
Like:menu--extras--main--header.html.twigmenu--extras--main--footer.html.twig
Roadmap:
- 8.x-3.x:
- Stay tuned ;)
- 8.x-2.x:
- In active development. The main feature is managing fields, view display and form display as content entity (like node). Long story short - configured FieldUI integration for menu_link_content entity type.

- Other features:
-
- Base functionality implemented, Menu Link Content entity is full fieldable!!!
- Fixed templates.
- Added view mode field which gives control on view mode per item.
- Clear data from the extra entity field like View mode.
- Update path from the 1.x to 2.x
- Demo modules which will demonstrate power of this module, and what magic you can do with it. Try it at Simplytest.me
- Fixed issue in core module that made this module possible to develop #2903161: Fix incorrect FieldFormatter id for "weight" field in base field definition in display options
- 8.x-1.x:
- Minimally maintained. In this version module adds a body field only.
- 7.x:
