        icon: 'account-check',
        link: '/finance/stocks/own',
        permissions: ['subscriptions_level_1']
      },
      {
        name: 'Trade', // paid users can trade
        icon: ' home-currency-usd',
        link: '/finance/stocks/trade',
        permissions: ['subscriptions_level_1']

];

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
  title = 'Neekware';
  menuTree = null;
  user: {
    // user is fetched from the server upon authentication
    firstName: 'Val';
    lastName: 'Neekman';
    permissions: ['subscriptions_level_1'];
  };

  constructor(public menu: MenuService) {
    this.log.info('AppComponent loaded ...');
    this.buildMenu();
  }

  /**
   * Given a MenuItem, it returns true if item is allowed to display
   * @param node - MenuItem
   */
  private hasPermission(node: MenuItem) {
    const menuPerms = node.permissions || [];
    if (menuPerms.length === 0) {
      return true;
    }

    if (!this.user) {
      return false;
    }

    const userPerms = this.user.permissions || [];
    if (menuPerms.length === 0) {
      return false;
    }

    const hasPerm = menuPerms.some(value => userPerms.indexOf(value) >= 0);
    return hasPerm;
  }

  buildMenu() {
    this.menu.PermissionVerificationFuncType(this.hasPermission.bind(this));
    this.menuTree = this.menu.buildMenuTree(AppMenuTree);
    // menu is ready for rendering
  }
}

Advanced usage:

Here are all the options for each menu items.

export class MenuItem {
  // translatable name of this menu
  name: string;
  // icon for the menu
  icon?: string;
  // if link (clickable)
  link?: string;
  // hides menu, navigation, popups (ex: calendar page is fullspan)
  fullspan?: boolean;
  // if external link
  external?: boolean;
  // open in new tab (_blank)
  target?: string;
  // if menu is disabled
  disabled?: boolean;
  // if menu is allowed (permission) - for manual override
  allowed?: boolean;
  // permissions required to render this menu
  permissions?: string[];
  // submenu
  children?: MenuItem[];
}

Here are the helper functions on each MenuNode.

// when looping through menu nodes
for (const node in menuTree.children) {
  // node.isLink - is a link or a node with children?
  // node..isNode - is a node with children?
  // node..hasChildren - has children?
  // node..isInternalLink - is a link & internal (ex: /dashboard/)
  // node..isExternalLink - is a link * external (ex: www.youtube.com)
  // node..isFullspan - is link that requires menu to slide away
  // node..offset(value: number, unit = 'px') - offset for multi-level menu (for margin or padding)
  // node..isActive(url: string) - is this node active for the active route
}
