As I was looking to implement the new Spaces feature (see
forem/forem#16842), I began looking at how to adjust the admin menu. I
found the Menu and AdminMenu. I wanted to add the "spaces" item under
the `:content_manager` scope. Looking at the implementation, I saw I
would need some additional branching logic.
To get an understanding of the implementation, I chose factor towards
classes.
This refactor does a few things:
1) Clarifies a method name (e.g. "children?" becomes
"has_multiple_children?")
2) Adds some tests of the menu implementation.
3) Removes deeply nested hashs in favor of first class objects.
4) Removes a complex method for determining menu visibility, instead
favoring a method that either takes a boolean OR a lambda.
There are further refactors to consider, especially in regards to the
helper methods and some of the coercion of strings into different
formats. But this refactor gets me the part I most am interested in:
Making it easier to specify a menu item as visible or not.
