How to make menu items of Nested Set nested categories active?

Question

nested set

On the website of an online store, a tree of product categories is built using the kalnoy/nestedset library .

Catalog menu displays only categories of the first level of nesting. Request in View Composers:

View::composer(['front.layouts.footer', 'front.layouts.menu_left'], function($view) {
            $view->with(['menu' => Category::where()->select('name', 'slug')->orderBy('sort')->get()]);
        });

• How to make active menu items of the first parent product category if a child, nested category is open, for example, the 3rd nesting level?
  
• What approaches exist to solve this problem?
  

I would be grateful for any idea or advice on how to solve the problem.

Answer 1

Well, the nested set is just perfect for this task - you check that the current open category lies within the boundaries of the parent one, and that's it. It's not very clear what the problem is.
