WordPress custom nav walker check if item has sub menu

I am using a custom nav walker and would like to create a tree menu.

Example:

<ul class="nav nav-list">
    <li><label class="tree-toggler nav-header">Header 1</label>
        <ul class="nav nav-list tree">
            <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
            <li><label class="tree-toggler nav-header">Header 1.1</label>
                <ul class="nav nav-list tree">
                    <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
                    <li><label class="tree-toggler nav-header">Header 1.1.1</label>
                        <ul class="nav nav-list tree">
                            <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
                            <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
                        </ul>
                    </li>
                </ul>
            </li>
        </ul>
    </li>
</ul>

Now my goal is to check if a list item has a sub menu and if it has a sub menu I want to wrap the li's text in a label to create the collapse effect.

Here's my custom nav walker

class themeslug_walker_nav_menu extends Walker_Nav_Menu {

// add classes to ul sub-menus
function start_lvl( &$output, $depth ) {
    // depth dependent classes
    $indent = ( $depth > 0  ? str_repeat( "\t", $depth ) : '' ); // code indent
    $display_depth = ( $depth + 1); // because it counts the first submenu as 0
    $classes = array(
        'sub-menu',
        ( $display_depth % 2  ? 'menu-odd' : 'menu-even' ),
        ( $display_depth >=2 ? 'sub-sub-menu' : '' ),
        'menu-depth-' . $display_depth
        );

    $class_names = implode( ' ', $classes );

    // build html
    $output .= "\n" . $indent . '<ul class="' . $class_names . '">' . "\n";
}

// add main/sub classes to li's and links
 function start_el( &$output, $item, $depth, $args ) {
    global $wp_query;
    $indent = ( $depth > 0 ? str_repeat( "\t", $depth ) : '' ); // code indent

    // depth dependent classes
    $depth_classes = array(
        ( $depth == 0 ? 'topElement' : 'parent' ),
        ( $depth >=2 ? 'sub-sub-menu-item' : '' ),
        ( $depth % 2 ? 'menu-item-odd' : 'menu-item-even' ),
        'menu-item-depth-' . $depth
    );
    $depth_class_names = esc_attr( implode( ' ', $depth_classes ) );

    // passed classes
    $classes = empty( $item->classes ) ? array() : (array) $item->classes;
    $class_names = esc_attr( implode( ' ', apply_filters( 'nav_menu_css_class', array_filter( $classes ), $item ) ) );


    if($depth === 0){
         // build html
        $output .= $indent . '<li id="nav-menu-item-'. $item->ID . '" class="' . $depth_class_names . ' ' . $class_names . '"><label class="tree-toggler">'.$item->title.'</label>';
    }else{
         $output .= $indent . '<li id="nav-menu-item-'. $item->ID . '" class="' . $depth_class_names . ' ' . $class_names . '">';
    };


    // link attributes
    $attributes  = ! empty( $item->attr_title ) ? ' title="'  . esc_attr( $item->attr_title ) .'"' : '';
    $attributes .= ! empty( $item->target )     ? ' target="' . esc_attr( $item->target     ) .'"' : '';
    $attributes .= ! empty( $item->xfn )        ? ' rel="'    . esc_attr( $item->xfn        ) .'"' : '';
    $attributes .= ! empty( $item->url )        ? ' href="'   . esc_attr( $item->url        ) .'"' : '';
    $attributes .= ' class="menu-link ' . ( $depth > 0 ? 'sub-menu-link' : 'main-menu-link' ) . '"';

    $item_output = sprintf( '%1$s<a%2$s>%3$s%4$s%5$s</a>%6$s',
        $args->before,
        $attributes,
        $args->link_before,
        apply_filters( 'the_title', $item->title, $item->ID ),
        $args->link_after,
        $args->after
    );

    // build html
    $output .= apply_filters( 'walker_nav_menu_start_el', $item_output, $item, $depth, $args );
}
}

This works fine but only for the li's in my first depth. So I am looking for a check if the li has a sub menu or not

Is there anyone who can help me out please.

Thanks in advance!

Simply check if has children (to be checked what is actual name of this class) class exist in $classes array.
