Task Description

Fork or Download this repository and implement the logic to manage a menu.

A Menu has a depth of N and maximum number of items per layer M. Consider N and M to be dynamic for bonus points.

It should be possible to manage the menu by sending API requests. Do not implement a frontend for this task.

Feel free to add comments or considerations when submitting the response at the end of the README.

Example menu

• Home
  • Home sub1
    • Home sub sub
      • [N]
  • Home sub2
  • [M]
• About
• [M]
