Hi @Junnu_ravali 

Please use the below approach. Here is the sample piece of code with reference to we-retai.

Create a POJO with all the required details such as pageTitle and pageLink.

public class MenuPojo {

    private String pageTitle;
    private String pageLink;
    private List<MenuPojo> childPages;

    public String getPageTitle() {
        return pageTitle;
    }

    public void setPageTitle(String pageTitle) {
        this.pageTitle = pageTitle;
    }

    public String getPageLink() {
        return pageLink;
    }

    public void setPageLink(String pageLink) {
        this.pageLink = pageLink;
    }

    public List<MenuPojo> getChildPages() {
        return childPages;
    }

    public void setChildPages(List<MenuPojo> childPages) {
        this.childPages = childPages;
    }

}

Create the Model class: You can read the currentPage from dialog also. I am reading from OOTB object.

@Model(adaptables = {SlingHttpServletRequest.class, Resource.class}, defaultInjectionStrategy = DefaultInjectionStrategy.OPTIONAL)
public class TestModel {

    private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(TestModel.class);

    @ScriptVariable
    private Page currentPage;

    @SlingObject
    private ResourceResolver resourceResolver;

    private List<MenuPojo> menuList = new ArrayList<>();

    @PostConstruct
    protected void init() {
        log.info("***** :: init :: Start :: ******");
        menuList = currentPage != null ? getFirstLevelItems(currentPage, menuList) : null; // Here you can read the currentPage path dialog also. I am reading it from OOTB object.
        log.info("***** :: init :: End :: *****");
    }

    private List<MenuPojo> getFirstLevelItems(Page rootPage, List<MenuPojo> menuList) {
        Iterator<Page> firstLevelChild = rootPage.listChildren();
        while (firstLevelChild.hasNext()) {
            Page firstLevelPage = firstLevelChild.next();
            if (!firstLevelPage.isHideInNav()) {
                getMenuList(menuList, firstLevelPage);
            }
        }
        return menuList;
    }

    private void getMenuList(List<MenuPojo> menuList, Page firstLevelPage) {
        MenuPojo navObj = new MenuPojo();
        ValueMap firstLevelPageProperties = firstLevelPage.getProperties();
        String pathLink = firstLevelPage.getPath();
        navObj.setPageLink(pathLink);
        navObj.setPageTitle(firstLevelPage.getTitle());
        if (firstLevelPage.listChildren().hasNext()) {
            List<MenuPojo> secondLevelItemList = new ArrayList<>();
            secondLevelItemList = getFirstLevelItems(firstLevelPage, secondLevelItemList);
            navObj.setChildPages(secondLevelItemList);
        }
        menuList.add(navObj);
    }

    public List<MenuPojo> getMenuList() {
        return menuList;
    }
}

 HTL Script on Component:

<sly data-sly-use.menuobj="com.lundbeck.vyeptidtc.core.models.TestModel">
    <sly data-sly-list.listObj="${menuobj.menuList}">
        <li><a href="${listObj.pageLink}">${listObj.pageTitle}</a></li>
        <ul>
            <sly data-sly-list.childPageDetails="${listObj.childPages}">
                <li><a href="${listObj.pageLink}">${childPageDetails.pageTitle}</a></li>
                <ul>
                    <sly data-sly-list.childPageDetail="${childPageDetails.childPages}">
                        <li><a href="${listObj.pageLink}">${childPageDetail.pageTitle}</a></li>
                    <sly>
                </ul>
            <sly>
        </ul>
    </sly>
</sly>

End User view:

Based on the page,it will retrieve child page and show the links.

Thanks!

Hi @Asutosh_Jena_

That worked!

Thank you for your reply!!

Can I know where should I add my "dialog value"( example - path : /content/retail) in the code. I am trying to select the page path through "path browser" from my component and that respective child pages needs to be displayed on my page.

@Junnu_ravali Please see the below code:

Highlighted are the changes that I have done to read the value from dialog.

@Model(adaptables = {SlingHttpServletRequest.class, Resource.class}, defaultInjectionStrategy = DefaultInjectionStrategy.OPTIONAL)
public class TestModel {

    private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(TestModel.class);

    @SlingObject
    private ResourceResolver resourceResolver;

    @ValueMapValue
    private String pagePath; // Here you need to map with the dialog name

    private List<MenuPojo> menuList = new ArrayList<>();

    @PostConstruct
    protected void init() {
        log.info("***** :: init :: Start :: ******");
        if (StringUtils.isNotBlank(pagePath)) {
            Resource pageResource = resourceResolver.getResource(pagePath);
            Page currentPage = pageResource != null ? pageResource.adaptTo(Page.class) : null;
            menuList = currentPage != null ? getFirstLevelItems(currentPage, menuList) : null;
        }
        log.info("***** :: init :: End :: *****");
    }

    private List<MenuPojo> getFirstLevelItems(Page rootPage, List<MenuPojo> menuList) {
        Iterator<Page> firstLevelChild = rootPage.listChildren();
        while (firstLevelChild.hasNext()) {
            Page firstLevelPage = firstLevelChild.next();
            if (!firstLevelPage.isHideInNav()) {
                getMenuList(menuList, firstLevelPage);
            }
        }
        return menuList;
    }

    private void getMenuList(List<MenuPojo> menuList, Page firstLevelPage) {
        MenuPojo navObj = new MenuPojo();
        ValueMap firstLevelPageProperties = firstLevelPage.getProperties();
        String pathLink = firstLevelPage.getPath();
        navObj.setPageLink(pathLink);
        navObj.setPageTitle(firstLevelPage.getTitle());
        if (firstLevelPage.listChildren().hasNext()) {
            List<MenuPojo> secondLevelItemList = new ArrayList<>();
            secondLevelItemList = getFirstLevelItems(firstLevelPage, secondLevelItemList);
            navObj.setChildPages(secondLevelItemList);
        }
        menuList.add(navObj);
    }

    public List<MenuPojo> getMenuList() {
        return menuList;
    }
}
