Using session in MenuItem

Hi is there any possibility to use session() or auth()->getSession() in MenuItem inside PanelProvider? Following code:

            ->userMenuItems([
                'session' => MenuItem::make()
                    ->label(auth()->getSession()->get('value')),
            ])

            ->userMenuItems([
                'session' => MenuItem::make()
                    ->label(auth()->getSession()->get('value')),
            ])

Produces error: Target class [hash] does not exist. If I use session() directly:

            ->userMenuItems([
                'session' => MenuItem::make()
                    ->label(session('value')),
            ])

            ->userMenuItems([
                'session' => MenuItem::make()
                    ->label(session('value')),
            ])

Then following error appears: Target class [cache] does not exist.

Those are service providers and the session doesn't exist yet. You need to wrap your code in a closure so it evaluated later.

->userMenuItems(fn () => [
  'session' => MenuItem::make()->label(session('value')),
])

->userMenuItems(fn () => [
  'session' => MenuItem::make()->label(session('value')),
])
