 Conditionally Adding Items
==========================

v1.1+

The `add` method has an equivalent method with an `if` suffix, which takes a condition as it's first argument. The items will only be added to the menu if the condition resolves to true (non-strict).

```
Menu::new()
    ->add(Link::to('/', 'Home'))
    ->addIf(!$loggedIn, Link::to('/login', 'Login'))
    ->addIf(!$loggedIn, Link::to('/register', 'Register'))
    ->addIf($loggedIn, Link::to('/logout', 'Logout'))
```

```

    Home
    Login
    Register

```

```

    Home
    Logout

```

This also applies to the convenience methods:

```
Menu::new()
    ->link('/', 'Home')
    ->htmlIf(count($notifications), '');
```

```

    Home

```

```

    Home

```
