Add wp menu item get command

[Copilot]

Users need to retrieve individual menu item details (particularly menu_item_parent IDs) without listing all items and parsing output. Current workaround requires wp menu item list <menu> --fields=... | grep | awk.

Changes

• Menu_Item_Command.php: Added get() method following wp term get pattern

  • Accepts <db-id> as required parameter
  • Validates post type is nav_menu_item (rejects regular posts)
  • Maps menu_order → position and url → link for consistency with list command
  • Supports --field, --fields, and --format options

• composer.json: Registered menu item get command

• menu-item.feature: Added test scenario covering table/JSON/CSV formats and error cases

Usage

# Get parent menu item ID for hierarchical menu construction
$ wp menu item get 45 --field=menu_item_parent
12

# Get all details in JSON for programmatic parsing
$ wp menu item get 45 --format=json
{"db_id":45,"type":"custom","title":"WordPress","link":"https://wordpress.org","position":1,"menu_item_parent":12}

# Use in scripts to create child items
PARENT_ID=$(wp menu item list my-menu --format=ids | head -1)
wp menu item add-custom my-menu "Child" http://example.com --parent-id=$PARENT_ID

All available fields match those in wp menu item list: db_id, type, title, link, position, menu_item_parent, object_id, object, type_label, target, attr_title, description, classes, xfn.

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

<issue_title>WP CLI - Menu Item Get Command</issue_title>
<issue_description>Hi guys,

Could you consider to improve wp menu item commands with get method?

I have the problem to get some information of existing menu items for example ID. I try dynamically to add new items as child elements but I can't get parent menu item ID. At this moment we have options to list all menu items and here I can see menu item ID

wp menu item list main-menu

but if I want to create a simple program to collect menu items information and to add new items in predefined places, then I can't do that. Thanks for your time

Best regards,
Nenad</issue_description>

Comments on the Issue (you are @copilot in this section)

@schlessera @NenadObradovic If you want to retrieve the parent menu item ID, you can do this by adding the field `menu_item_parent` to the displayed fields: ``` wp menu item list main-menu --fields=db_id,title,menu_parent_item ``` With the above, for example, you can `grep` for a specific menu item title, and then use something like `awk` to retrieve the parent menu item ID.

Does that provide what you need, or are you thinking of something else specifically?</comment_new>
