ActionMenu
ActionMenu combines an ActionButton with a Menu for simple "more actions" use cases.

| usage | import {ActionMenu} from '@react-spectrum/menu' |
Example#
Content#
ActionMenu follows the Collection Components API, accepting both static and dynamic collections. See Menu for further explanation.
Trays#
On mobile, ActionMenus automatically display in a tray instead of a popover to improve usability.
Internationalization#
In order to internationalize an ActionMenu, the content provided to all child items should be localized. For languages that are read right-to-left (e.g. Hebrew and Arabic), the layout of the ActionMenu is flipped.
Events#
ActionMenu supports the onAction prop, which is called when the user presses a menu item. It receives the key of the item as an argument, which can be used to perform the relevant action.
Sections#
ActionMenu supports sections in order to group options. Sections can be used by wrapping groups of Items in a Section component. Each Section takes a title and key prop.
Static Items#
Dynamic Items#
Sections used with dynamic items are populated from a hierarchical data structure. Similarly to the props on ActionMenu, <Section> takes an array of data using the items prop.
Accessibility#
Sections without a title must provide an aria-label for accessibility.
Complex Menu Items#
Items within ActionMenu also allow for additional content used to better communicate options. Icons and descriptions can be added to the children of Item as shown in the example below. If a description is added, the prop slot="description" must be used to distinguish the different <Text> elements.

Visual options#
Quiet#
Autofocus#
Applying autoFocus to the ActionMenu sets focus to the ActionMenu trigger.
Disabled#
Disabled items#
Align and direction#
The align prop aligns the ActionMenu menu relative to the trigger and the direction prop controls the direction the ActionMenu will render.
Flipping#
By default, the ActionMenu menu flips direction automatically upon opening when space is limited. To change this, set the shouldFlip prop to false. Try scrolling the viewport close to the edge of the trigger in the example to see this in action.
Open#
The isOpen and defaultOpen props on the ActionMenu control whether the menu is open by default.
They apply controlled and uncontrolled behavior on the Menu respectively.
