Features#

There is no native element to implement a menu in HTML that is widely supported. MenuTrigger and Menu help achieve accessible menu components that can be styled as needed.

Keyboard navigation – Menu items can be navigated using the arrow keys, along with page up/down, home/end, etc. Typeahead, auto scrolling, and disabled items are supported as well.
Item selection – Single or multiple selection can be optionally enabled.
Trigger interactions – Menus can be triggered by pressing with a mouse or touch, or optionally, with a long press interaction. The arrow keys also open the menu with a keyboard, automatically focusing the first or last item accordingly.
Accessible – Follows the ARIA menu pattern, with support for items and sections, and slots for label, description, and keyboard shortcut elements within each item for improved screen reader announcement.

Anatomy#

A menu trigger consists of a button or other trigger element combined with a menu displayed in a popover, with a list of menu items or sections inside. Users can click, touch, or use the keyboard on the button to open the menu.

import {Button, Header, Item, Keyboard, Menu, MenuTrigger, Popover, Section, Separator, Text} from 'react-aria-components';

<MenuTrigger>
  <Button />
  <Popover>
    <Menu>
      <Item>
        <Text slot="label" />
        <Text slot="description" />
        <Keyboard />
      </Item>
      <Separator />
      <Section>
        <Header />
        <Item />
      </Section>
    </Menu>
  </Popover>
</MenuTrigger>

  Button,
  Header,
  Item,
  Keyboard,
  Menu,
  MenuTrigger,
  Popover,
  Section,
  Separator,
  Text
} from 'react-aria-components';

        <Text slot="description" />

      </Item>
      <Separator />
      <Section>
        <Header />
        <Item />
      </Section>
    </Menu>
  </Popover>
</MenuTrigger>

  Button,
  Header,
  Item,
  Keyboard,
  Menu,
  MenuTrigger,
  Popover,
  Section,
  Separator,
  Text
} from 'react-aria-components';

Concepts#

Menu makes use of the following concepts:

Collections

Defining collections of items, async loading, and updating items over time.

Selection

Interactions and data structures to represent selection.

Composed components#

A Menu uses the following components, which may also be used standalone or reused in other components.

Button

A button allows a user to perform an action.

Popover

A popover displays content in context with a trigger element.

Reusable wrappers#

If you will use a Menu in multiple places in your app, you can wrap all of the pieces into a reusable component. This way, the DOM structure, styling code, and other logic are defined in a single place and reused everywhere to ensure consistency.

This example wraps MenuTrigger and all of its children together into a single component which accepts a label prop and children, which are passed through to the right places. The Item component is also wrapped to apply class names based on the current state, as described in the styling section.

Content#

Menu follows the Collection Components API, accepting both static and dynamic collections. The examples above show static collections, which can be used when the full list of options is known ahead of time. Dynamic collections, as shown below, can be used when the options come from an external data source such as an API call, or update over time.

As seen below, an iterable list of options is passed to the Menu using the items prop. Each item accepts an id prop, which is passed to the onAction handler to identify the selected item. Alternatively, if the item objects contain an id property, as shown in the example below, then this is used automatically and an id prop is not required.

function Example() {
  let items = [
    {id: 1, name: 'New'},
    {id: 2, name: 'Open'},
    {id: 3, name: 'Close'},
    {id: 4, name: 'Save'},
    {id: 5, name: 'Duplicate'},
    {id: 6, name: 'Rename'},
    {id: 7, name: 'Move'}
  ];

  return (
    <MyMenuButton label="Actions" items={items} onAction={alert}>
      {(item) => <Item>{item.name}</Item>}
    </MyMenuButton>
  );
}

function Example() {
  let items = [
    { id: 1, name: 'New' },
    { id: 2, name: 'Open' },
    { id: 3, name: 'Close' },
    { id: 4, name: 'Save' },
    { id: 5, name: 'Duplicate' },
    { id: 6, name: 'Rename' },
    { id: 7, name: 'Move' }
  ];

  return (
    <MyMenuButton
      label="Actions"
      items={items}
      onAction={alert}
    >
      {(item) => <Item>{item.name}</Item>}
    </MyMenuButton>
  );
}

function Example() {
  let items = [
    {
      id: 1,
      name: 'New'
    },
    {
      id: 2,
      name: 'Open'
    },
    {
      id: 3,
      name: 'Close'
    },
    {
      id: 4,
      name: 'Save'
    },
    {
      id: 5,
      name: 'Duplicate'
    },
    {
      id: 6,
      name: 'Rename'
    },
    {
      id: 7,
      name: 'Move'
    }
  ];

  return (
    <MyMenuButton

      {(item) => (
        <Item>
          {item.name}
        </Item>
      )}
    </MyMenuButton>
  );
}

Selection#

Menu supports multiple selection modes. By default, selection is disabled, however this can be changed using the selectionMode prop. Use defaultSelectedKeys to provide a default set of selected items (uncontrolled) and selectedKeys to set the selected items (controlled). The value of the selected keys must match the id prop of the items. See the react-stately Selection docs for more details.

Links#

By default, interacting with an item in a Menu triggers onAction and optionally onSelectionChange depending on the selectionMode. Alternatively, items may be links to another page or website. This can be achieved by passing the href prop to the <Item> component. Link items in a menu are not selectable.

<MyMenuButton label="Links">
  <Item href="https://adobe.com/" target="_blank">Adobe</Item>
  <Item href="https://apple.com/" target="_blank">Apple</Item>
  <Item href="https://google.com/" target="_blank">Google</Item>
  <Item href="https://microsoft.com/" target="_blank">Microsoft</Item>
</MyMenuButton>

<MyMenuButton label="Links">
  <Item href="https://adobe.com/" target="_blank">
    Adobe
  </Item>
  <Item href="https://apple.com/" target="_blank">
    Apple
  </Item>
  <Item href="https://google.com/" target="_blank">
    Google
  </Item>
  <Item href="https://microsoft.com/" target="_blank">
    Microsoft
  </Item>
</MyMenuButton>

<MyMenuButton label="Links">
  <Item
    href="https://adobe.com/"
    target="_blank"
  >
    Adobe
  </Item>
  <Item
    href="https://apple.com/"
    target="_blank"
  >
    Apple
  </Item>
  <Item
    href="https://google.com/"
    target="_blank"
  >
    Google
  </Item>
  <Item
    href="https://microsoft.com/"
    target="_blank"
  >
    Microsoft
  </Item>
</MyMenuButton>

Client side routing#

The <Item> component works with frameworks and client side routers like Next.js and React Router. As with other React Aria components that support links, this works via the RouterProvider component at the root of your app. See the client side routing guide to learn how to set this up.

Sections#

Menu supports sections with headings in order to group items. Sections can be used by wrapping groups of Items in a Section component. A <Header> element may also be included to label the section.

Static items#

import {Section, Header} from 'react-aria-components';

<MyMenuButton label="Actions" onAction={alert}>
  <Section>
    <Header>Styles</Header>
    <Item id="bold">Bold</Item>
    <Item id="underline">Underline</Item>
  </Section>
  <Section>
    <Header>Align</Header>
    <Item id="left">Left</Item>
    <Item id="middle">Middle</Item>
    <Item id="right">Right</Item>
  </Section>
</MyMenuButton>

import {Section, Header} from 'react-aria-components';

<MyMenuButton label="Actions" onAction={alert}>
  <Section>
    <Header>Styles</Header>
    <Item id="bold">Bold</Item>
    <Item id="underline">Underline</Item>
  </Section>
  <Section>
    <Header>Align</Header>
    <Item id="left">Left</Item>
    <Item id="middle">Middle</Item>
    <Item id="right">Right</Item>
  </Section>
</MyMenuButton>

import {
  Header,
  Section
} from 'react-aria-components';

<MyMenuButton
  label="Actions"
  onAction={alert}
>
  <Section>
    <Header>
      Styles
    </Header>
    <Item id="bold">
      Bold
    </Item>
    <Item id="underline">
      Underline
    </Item>
  </Section>
  <Section>
    <Header>
      Align
    </Header>
    <Item id="left">
      Left
    </Item>
    <Item id="middle">
      Middle
    </Item>
    <Item id="right">
      Right
    </Item>
  </Section>
</MyMenuButton>

Dynamic items#

The above example shows sections with static items. Sections can also be populated from a heirarchical data structure. Similarly to the props on Menu, <Section> takes an array of data using the items prop. If the section also has a header, the Collection component can be used to render the child items.

import type {Selection} from 'react-aria-components';
import {Collection} from 'react-aria-components';

function Example() {
  let [selected, setSelected] = React.useState<Selection>(new Set([1,3]));
  let openWindows = [
    {
      name: 'Left Panel',
      id: 'left',
      children: [
        {id: 1, name: 'Final Copy (1)'}
      ]
    },
    {
      name: 'Right Panel',
      id: 'right',
      children: [
        {id: 2, name: 'index.ts'},
        {id: 3, name: 'package.json'},
        {id: 4, name: 'license.txt'}
      ]
    }
  ];

  return (
    <MyMenuButton
      label="Window"
      items={openWindows}
      selectionMode="multiple"
      selectedKeys={selected}
      onSelectionChange={setSelected}>
      {section => (
        <Section>
          <Header>{section.name}</Header>
          <Collection items={section.children}>
            {item => <Item>{item.name}</Item>}
          </Collection>
        </Section>
      )}
    </MyMenuButton>
  );
}

import type {Selection} from 'react-aria-components';
import {Collection} from 'react-aria-components';

function Example() {
  let [selected, setSelected] = React.useState<Selection>(
    new Set([1, 3])
  );
  let openWindows = [
    {
      name: 'Left Panel',
      id: 'left',
      children: [
        { id: 1, name: 'Final Copy (1)' }
      ]
    },
    {
      name: 'Right Panel',
      id: 'right',
      children: [
        { id: 2, name: 'index.ts' },
        { id: 3, name: 'package.json' },
        { id: 4, name: 'license.txt' }
      ]
    }
  ];

  return (
    <MyMenuButton

      selectedKeys={selected}
      onSelectionChange={setSelected}
    >
      {(section) => (
        <Section>
          <Header>{section.name}</Header>
          <Collection items={section.children}>
            {(item) => <Item>{item.name}</Item>}
          </Collection>
        </Section>
      )}
    </MyMenuButton>
  );
}

import type {Selection} from 'react-aria-components';
import {Collection} from 'react-aria-components';

  let [
    selected,
    setSelected

              </Item>
            )}
          </Collection>
        </Section>
      )}
    </MyMenuButton>
  );
}

Separators#

Separators may be added between menu items or sections in order to create non-labeled groupings.

import {Separator} from 'react-aria-components';

<MyMenuButton label="Actions" onAction={alert}>
  <Item id="new">New…</Item>
  <Item id="open">Open…</Item>
  <Separator />
  <Item id="save">Save</Item>
  <Item id="save-as">Save as…</Item>
  <Item id="rename">Rename…</Item>
  <Separator />
  <Item id="page-setup">Page setup…</Item>
  <Item id="print">Print…</Item>
</MyMenuButton>

import {Separator} from 'react-aria-components';

<MyMenuButton label="Actions" onAction={alert}>
  <Item id="new">New…</Item>
  <Item id="open">Open…</Item>
  <Separator />
  <Item id="save">Save</Item>

  <Item id="rename">Rename…</Item>
  <Separator />
  <Item id="page-setup">Page setup…</Item>
  <Item id="print">Print…</Item>

  </Item>
  <Separator />
  <Item id="page-setup">
    Page setup…
  </Item>
  <Item id="print">
    Print…
  </Item>
</MyMenuButton>

Accessibility#

Sections without a <Header> must provide an aria-label for accessibility.

Text slots#

By default, items in a ListBox are labeled by their text contents for accessibility. Items also support the "label" and "description" slots to separate primary and secondary content, which improves screen reader announcements and can also be used for styling purposes. The <Keyboard> component can also be used to display a keyboard shortcut.

import {Text, Keyboard} from 'react-aria-components';

<MyMenuButton label="Actions">
  <Item textValue="Copy">
    <Text slot="label">Copy</Text>
    <Text slot="description">Copy the selected text</Text>

By default, MenuTrigger opens by pressing the trigger element or activating it via the Space or Enter keys. However, there may be cases in which your trigger element should perform a separate default action on press, and should only display the Menu when long pressed. This behavior can be changed by providing "longPress" to the trigger prop. With this prop, the Menu will only be opened upon pressing and holding the trigger element or by using the Option (Alt on Windows) + Down Arrow/Up Arrow keys while focusing the trigger element.

<MenuTrigger trigger="longPress">
  <Button onPress={() => alert('crop')}>Crop</Button>
  <Popover>
    <Menu onAction={alert}>
      <Item id="rotate">Rotate</Item>
      <Item id="slice">Slice</Item>
      <Item id="clone-stamp">Clone stamp</Item>
    </Menu>
  </Popover>
</MenuTrigger>

<MenuTrigger trigger="longPress">

Disabled items#

Menu supports marking items as disabled using the disabledKeys prop. Each key in this list corresponds with the id prop passed to the Item component, or automatically derived from the values passed to the items prop. See Collections for more details.

Disabled items are not focusable or keyboard navigable, and do not trigger onAction or onSelectionChange.

<MyMenuButton label="Actions" onAction={alert} disabledKeys={['paste']}>
  <Item id="copy">Copy</Item>
  <Item id="cut">Cut</Item>
  <Item id="paste">Paste</Item>
</MyMenuButton>

<MyMenuButton
  label="Actions"
  onAction={alert}
  disabledKeys={['paste']}
>
  <Item id="copy">Copy</Item>
  <Item id="cut">Cut</Item>
  <Item id="paste">Paste</Item>
</MyMenuButton>

<MyMenuButton
  label="Actions"
  onAction={alert}
  disabledKeys={[
    'paste'
  ]}
>
  <Item id="copy">
    Copy
  </Item>
  <Item id="cut">
    Cut
  </Item>
  <Item id="paste">
    Paste
  </Item>
</MyMenuButton>

Controlled open state#

The open state of the menu can be controlled via the defaultOpen and isOpen props.

function Example() {
  let [open, setOpen] = React.useState(false);

  return (
    <>
      <p>Menu is {open ? 'open' : 'closed'}</p>
      <MyMenuButton
        label="View"
        isOpen={open}
        onOpenChange={setOpen}>
        <Item id="side">Side bar</Item>
        <Item id="options">Page options</Item>
        <Item id="edit">Edit Panel</Item>
      </MyMenuButton>
    </>
  );
}

function Example() {
  let [open, setOpen] = React.useState(false);

  return (
    <>
      <p>Menu is {open ? 'open' : 'closed'}</p>
      <MyMenuButton
        label="View"
        isOpen={open}
        onOpenChange={setOpen}>
        <Item id="side">Side bar</Item>
        <Item id="options">Page options</Item>
        <Item id="edit">Edit Panel</Item>
      </MyMenuButton>
    </>
  );
}

function Example() {
  let [open, setOpen] =
    React.useState(
      false
    );

  return (
    <>
      <p>
        Menu is {open
          ? 'open'
          : 'closed'}
      </p>
      <MyMenuButton
        label="View"
        isOpen={open}
        onOpenChange={setOpen}
      >
        <Item id="side">
          Side bar
        </Item>
        <Item id="options">
          Page options
        </Item>
        <Item id="edit">

Styling#

React Aria components can be styled in many ways, including using CSS classes, inline styles, utility classes (e.g. Tailwind), CSS-in-JS (e.g. Styled Components), etc. By default, all components include a builtin className attribute which can be targeted using CSS selectors. These follow the react-aria-ComponentName naming convention.

.react-aria-Menu {
  /* ... */
}

.react-aria-Menu {
  /* ... */
}

.react-aria-Menu {
  /* ... */
}

A custom className can also be specified on any component. This overrides the default className provided by React Aria with your own.

<Menu className="my-menu">
  {/* ... */}
</Menu>

<Menu className="my-menu">
  {/* ... */}
</Menu>

<Menu className="my-menu">
  {/* ... */}
</Menu>

In addition, some components support multiple UI states (e.g. pressed, hovered, etc.). React Aria components expose states using data attributes, which you can target in CSS selectors. For example:

.react-aria-Item[data-selected] {
  /* ... */
}

.react-aria-Item[data-focused] {
  /* ... */
}

.react-aria-Item[data-selected] {
  /* ... */
}

.react-aria-Item[data-focused] {
  /* ... */
}

.react-aria-Item[data-selected] {
  /* ... */
}

.react-aria-Item[data-focused] {
  /* ... */
}

The className and style props also accept functions which receive states for styling. This lets you dynamically determine the classes or styles to apply, which is useful when using utility CSS libraries like Tailwind.

<Item
  className={({ isSelected }) => isSelected ? 'bg-blue-400' : 'bg-gray-100'}
>
  Item
</Item>

<Item
  className={({ isSelected }) =>
    isSelected ? 'bg-blue-400' : 'bg-gray-100'}
>
  Item
</Item>

<Item
  className={(
    { isSelected }
  ) =>
    isSelected
      ? 'bg-blue-400'
      : 'bg-gray-100'}
>
  Item
</Item>

Render props may also be used as children to alter what elements are rendered based on the current state. For example, you could render a checkmark icon when an item is selected.

<Item>
  {({isSelected}) => (
    <>
      {isSelected && <CheckmarkIcon />}
      Item
    </>
  )}
</Item>

<Item>
  {({isSelected}) => (
    <>
      {isSelected && <CheckmarkIcon />}
      Item
    </>
  )}
</Item>

<Item>
  {(
    { isSelected }
  ) => (
    <>
      {isSelected && (
        <CheckmarkIcon />
      )}
      Item
    </>
  )}
</Item>

The states and selectors for each component used in a Menu are documented below.

MenuTrigger#

The MenuTrigger component does not render any DOM elements (it only passes through its children) so it does not support styling. If you need a wrapper element, add one yourself inside the <MenuTrigger>.

<MenuTrigger>
  <div className="my-menu-trigger">
    {/* ... */}
  </div>
</MenuTrigger>

<MenuTrigger>
  <div className="my-menu-trigger">
    {/* ... */}
  </div>
</MenuTrigger>

<MenuTrigger>
  <div className="my-menu-trigger">
    {/* ... */}
  </div>
</MenuTrigger>

Button#

A Button can be targeted with the .react-aria-Button CSS selector, or by overriding with a custom className. It supports the following states:

Name	CSS Selector	Description
`isHovered`	`[data-hovered]`	Whether the button is currently hovered with a mouse.
`isPressed`	`[data-pressed]`	Whether the button is currently in a pressed state.
`isFocused`	`[data-focused]`	Whether the button is focused, either via a mouse or keyboard.
`isFocusVisible`	`[data-focus-visible]`	Whether the button is keyboard focused.
`isDisabled`	`[data-disabled]`	Whether the button is disabled.

The Popover component can be targeted with the .react-aria-Popover CSS selector, or by overriding with a custom className. Note that it renders in a React Portal, so it will not appear as a descendant of the MenuTrigger in the DOM. It supports the following states and render props:

Name	CSS Selector	Description
`placement`	`[data-placement="left \| right \| top \| bottom"]`	The placement of the popover relative to the trigger.
`isEntering`	`[data-entering]`	Whether the popover is currently entering. Use this to apply animations.
`isExiting`	`[data-exiting]`	Whether the popover is currently exiting. Use this to apply animations.

A Menu can be targeted with the .react-aria-Menu CSS selector, or by overriding with a custom className.

Section#

A Section can be targeted with the .react-aria-Section CSS selector, or by overriding with a custom className. See sections for examples.

Header#

A Header within a Section can be targeted with the .react-aria-Header CSS selector, or by overriding with a custom className. See sections for examples.

Item#

An Item can be targeted with the .react-aria-Item CSS selector, or by overriding with a custom className. It supports the following states and render props:

Name	CSS Selector	Description
`isHovered`	`[data-hovered]`	Whether the item is currently hovered with a mouse.
`isPressed`	`[data-pressed]`	Whether the item is currently in a pressed state.
`isSelected`	`[data-selected]`	Whether the item is currently selected.
`isFocused`	`[data-focused]`	Whether the item is currently focused.
`isFocusVisible`	`[data-focus-visible]`	Whether the item is currently keyboard focused.
`isDisabled`	`[data-disabled]`	Whether the item is non-interactive, i.e. both selection and actions are disabled and the item may not be focused. Dependent on `disabledKeys` and `disabledBehavior`.
`selectionMode`	`[data-selection-mode="single \| multiple"]`	The type of selection that is allowed in the collection.
`selectionBehavior`	`—`	The selection behavior for the collection.

Items also support two slots: a label, and a description. When provided using the <Text> element, the item will have aria-labelledby and aria-describedby attributes pointing to these slots, improving screen reader announcement. See complex items for an example.

Note that items may not contain interactive children such as buttons, as screen readers will not be able to access them.

Separator#

A Separator can be targeted with the .react-aria-Separator CSS selector, or by overriding with a custom className.

Advanced customization#

Composition#

If you need to customize one of the components within a MenuTrigger, such as Button or Menu, in many cases you can create a wrapper component. This lets you customize the props passed to the component.

function MyMenu(props) {
  return <Menu {...props} className="my-menu" />
}

function MyMenu(props) {
  return <Menu {...props} className="my-menu" />
}

function MyMenu(props) {
  return (
    <Menu
      {...props}
      className="my-menu"
    />
  );
}

Custom children#

MenuTrigger passes props to its child components, such as the button and popover, via their associated contexts. These contexts are exported so you can also consume them in your own custom components. This enables you to reuse existing components from your app or component library together with React Aria Components.

Component	Context	Props	Ref
`Button`	`ButtonContext`	`ButtonProps`	`HTMLButtonElement`
`Popover`	`PopoverContext`	`PopoverProps`	`HTMLElement`
`Menu`	`MenuContext`	`MenuProps`	`HTMLDivElement`
`Separator`	`SeparatorContext`	`SeparatorProps`	`HTMLElement`
`Text`	`TextContext`	`TextProps`	`HTMLElement`
`Keyboard`	`KeyboardContext`	`HTMLAttributes`	`HTMLElement`

This example consumes from KeyboardContext in an existing styled keyboard shortcut component to make it compatible with React Aria Components. The useContextProps hook merges the local props and ref with the ones provided via context by Menu.

import {KeyboardContext, useContextProps} from 'react-aria-components';

const MyKeyboard = React.forwardRef(
  (
    props: React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLElement>,
    ref: React.ForwardedRef<HTMLElement>
  ) => {
    // Merge the local props and ref with the ones provided via context.
    [props, ref] = useContextProps(props, ref, KeyboardContext);
    // ... your existing Keyboard component
    return <kbd {...props} ref={ref} />;
  }
);

import {
  KeyboardContext,
  useContextProps
} from 'react-aria-components';

const MyKeyboard = React.forwardRef(
  (
    props: React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLElement>,
    ref: React.ForwardedRef<HTMLElement>
  ) => {
    // Merge the local props and ref with the ones provided via context.
    [props, ref] = useContextProps(
      props,
      ref,
      KeyboardContext
    );
    // ... your existing Keyboard component
    return <kbd {...props} ref={ref} />;
  }
);

import {
  KeyboardContext,
  useContextProps
} from 'react-aria-components';

const MyKeyboard = React
  .forwardRef(
    (
      props:
        React.HTMLAttributes<
          HTMLElement
        >,
      ref:
        React.ForwardedRef<
          HTMLElement
        >
    ) => {
      // Merge the local props and ref with the ones provided via context.
      [props, ref] =
        useContextProps(
          props,
          ref,
          KeyboardContext
        );
      // ... your existing Keyboard component
      return (
        <kbd
          {...props}
          ref={ref}
        />
      );
    }
  );

Now you can use MyKeyboard within a Menu, in place of the builtin React Aria Components Keyboard.

<Menu>
  <Item textValue="Paste">
    <Text slot="label">Paste</Text>
    <MyKeyboard>⌘V</MyKeyboard>  </Item>
  {/* ... */}
</Menu>

<Menu>
  <Item textValue="Paste">
    <Text slot="label">Paste</Text>
    <MyKeyboard>⌘V</MyKeyboard>  </Item>
  {/* ... */}
</Menu>

<Menu>
  <Item textValue="Paste">
    <Text slot="label">
      Paste
    </Text>
    <MyKeyboard>
      ⌘V
    </MyKeyboard>  </Item>
  {/* ... */}
</Menu>

Hooks#

If you need to customize things further, such as intercepting events or customizing DOM structure, you can drop down to the lower level Hook-based API. React Aria Hooks and Components can be mixed and matched by providing or consuming from the corresponding contexts that are exported for each component. See useMenu for details.

This example implements a custom OptionMenuTrigger component that intercepts the keyboard and press events returned by useMenuTrigger so that the menu only opens if the user holds the Alt key. This allows a button to have a default action, with additional options for power users.

import {ButtonContext, MenuContext, OverlayTriggerStateContext, PopoverContext, Provider} from 'react-aria-components';
import {useMenuTriggerState} from 'react-stately';
import {useMenuTrigger} from 'react-aria';

function OptionMenuTrigger(props: MenuTriggerProps) {
  let state = useMenuTriggerState(props);
  let ref = React.useRef(null);
  let { menuTriggerProps, menuProps } = useMenuTrigger(props, state, ref);

  return (
    // Provider is a utility that renders multiple context providers without nesting.
    <Provider
      values={[
        [ButtonContext, {
          ...menuTriggerProps,
          // Intercept events and only forward to useMenuTrigger if alt key is held.
          onPressStart: (e) => e.altKey && menuTriggerProps.onPressStart(e),
          onPress: (e) =>
            (e.pointerType !== 'mouse' || e.altKey) &&
            menuTriggerProps.onPress(e),
