MenuTrigger and Menu

The MenuTrigger serves as a wrapper around a Menu and its associated trigger, linking the Menu's open state with the trigger's press state.

The Menu allow users to choose from a list of options which can change based on the content. Menus are used to display transient content such as options, additional actions, and more. They stand out visually through stroke and drop shadow and float on top of the interface.

    <Item>Cut</Item>
    <Item>Copy</Item>
    <Item>Paste</Item>

  </Menu>
</MenuTrigger>

<MenuTrigger>

  <Menu>
    <Item>Cut</Item>
    <Item>Copy</Item>
    <Item>Paste</Item>
  </Menu>
</MenuTrigger>

Content#

The Menu accepts Items and Sections as children. Items can be statically populated (initial example above) or dynamically (below). The dynamic method would be better suited to use if the actions within a Menu came from a data object such as values returned via an API call. A unique key prop must be set on each item.

<MenuTrigger>
  <ActionButton>
      Edit
  </ActionButton>
  <Menu items={[{name: 'Cut'}, {name: 'Copy'}, {name: 'Paste'}]}>
    {item => <Item key={item.name}>{item.name}</Item>}
  </Menu>
</MenuTrigger>

<MenuTrigger>
  <ActionButton>Edit</ActionButton>
  <Menu
    items={[
      {name: 'Cut'},
      {name: 'Copy'},
      {name: 'Paste'}
    ]}>
    {(item) => <Item key={item.name}>{item.name}</Item>}
  </Menu>
</MenuTrigger>

<MenuTrigger>
  <ActionButton>
    Edit
  </ActionButton>
  <Menu
    items={[
      {name: 'Cut'},
      {name: 'Copy'},
      {name: 'Paste'}
    ]}>
    {(item) => (
      <Item
        key={
          item.name
        }>
        {item.name}
      </Item>
    )}
  </Menu>
</MenuTrigger>

The MenuTrigger accepts exactly two children: the Menu and the element which triggers the opening of the Menu. The trigger must be the first child passed into the MenuTrigger and should be an element that supports press events.

If the Menu is open within a MenuTrigger it will close on blur or scroll events.

Selection#

Changes to the Menu's selected Item are propagated via the event onAction.

The defaultSelectedKeys prop can be used to preselect Menu Items in the Menu placing selection of a Menu in an uncontrolled state. Alternatively, the selectedKeys prop preselects an Item in the Menu placing Item selection in a controlled state.

<MenuTrigger closeOnSelect={false}>
  <ActionButton>
      Edit (Controlled)
  </ActionButton>
  <Menu selectionMode="single" selectedKeys={['copy']}>
    <Item key="cut">Cut</Item>
    <Item key="copy">Copy</Item>
    <Item key="paste">Paste</Item>
  </Menu>
</MenuTrigger>
<MenuTrigger closeOnSelect={false}>
  <ActionButton>
      Edit (Uncontrolled)
  </ActionButton>
  <Menu selectionMode="single" defaultSelectedKeys={['paste']}>
    <Item key="cut">Cut</Item>
    <Item key="copy">Copy</Item>
    <Item key="paste">Paste</Item>
  </Menu>
</MenuTrigger>

      Copy
    </Item>
    <Item key="paste">

  </Menu>
</MenuTrigger>

The selectionMode prop specifies how many Menu Items can be selected, with the options being a single Menu Item, multiple Menu Items, or disabling selection entirely (default).

Internationalization#

To internationalize a Menu, a localized string should be passed to the children prop of each Menu Item or to a Section's title prop. For languages that are read right-to-left (e.g. Hebrew and Arabic), the layout of the Menu is flipped.

Accessibility#

Title-less Menu Sections must be provided with an aria-label for accessibility.

Events#

Menu supports selection via mouse, keyboard, and touch.

onOpenChange#

MenuTrigger accepts an onOpenChange handler which is triggered whenever the Menu is opened or closed.

The example below uses onOpenChange to update a separate span element with the current open state of the Menu.

function Example() {
  let [state, setState] = React.useState(false);

  return (
    <div>
      <MenuTrigger onOpenChange={(isOpen) => setState(isOpen)}>
        <ActionButton>Edit</ActionButton>
        <Menu>
          <Item key="cut">Cut</Item>
          <Item key="copy">Copy</Item>
          <Item key="paste">Paste</Item>
        </Menu>
      </MenuTrigger>
      <span style={{'margin-left': '8px'}}>
        Current open state: {state.toString()}
      </span>
    </div>
  );
}

function Example() {
  let [state, setState] = React.useState(false);

  return (
    <div>
      <MenuTrigger
        onOpenChange={(isOpen) => setState(isOpen)}>
        <ActionButton>Edit</ActionButton>
        <Menu>
          <Item key="cut">Cut</Item>
          <Item key="copy">Copy</Item>
          <Item key="paste">Paste</Item>
        </Menu>
      </MenuTrigger>
      <span style={{'margin-left': '8px'}}>
        Current open state: {state.toString()}
      </span>
    </div>
  );
}

function Example() {
  let [
    state,
    setState
  ] = React.useState(
    false
  );

  return (
    <div>
      <MenuTrigger
        onOpenChange={(
          isOpen
        ) =>
          setState(
            isOpen
          )
        }>
        <ActionButton>
          Edit
        </ActionButton>
        <Menu>
          <Item key="cut">
            Cut
          </Item>
          <Item key="copy">
            Copy
          </Item>
          <Item key="paste">
            Paste
          </Item>
        </Menu>
      </MenuTrigger>
      <span
        style={{
          'margin-left':
            '8px'
        }}>
        Current open
        state:{' '}
        {state.toString()}

Menu accepts an onAction handler which is triggered whenever a Menu Item is selected.

The example below uses the onAction to update text beside the MenuTrigger with the last selected Item.

function Example() {
  let [state, setState] = React.useState(false);

  return (
    <div>
      <MenuTrigger>
        <ActionButton>
            Edit
        </ActionButton>
        <Menu onAction={(value) => setState(value)}>
          <Item key="cut">Cut</Item>
          <Item key="copy">Copy</Item>
          <Item key="paste">Paste</Item>
        </Menu>
      </MenuTrigger>
      <span style={{'margin-left': '8px'}}>onAction: {state.toString()}</span>
    </div>
  );
}

function Example() {
  let [state, setState] = React.useState(false);

  return (
    <div>
      <MenuTrigger>
        <ActionButton>Edit</ActionButton>
        <Menu onAction={(value) => setState(value)}>
          <Item key="cut">Cut</Item>

          <Item key="paste">Paste</Item>
        </Menu>
      </MenuTrigger>
      <span style={{'margin-left': '8px'}}>
        onAction: {state.toString()}
      </span>
    </div>
  );
}

function Example() {
  let [
    state,
    setState
  ] = React.useState(
    false
  );

  return (
    <div>
      <MenuTrigger>
        <ActionButton>
          Edit
        </ActionButton>
        <Menu
          onAction={(
            value
          ) =>
            setState(
              value
            )
          }>

Applying autoFocus to the Menu of the MenuTrigger sets focus to a Menu Item within the Menu upon opening.

This example demonstrates how to use autoFocus to automatically focus the selected Menu Item when the Menu is opened.

<MenuTrigger>
  <ActionButton>
    autoFocus
  </ActionButton>
  <Menu
    selectionMode="single"
    selectedKeys={['copy']}
    autoFocus>
    <Item key="cut">Cut</Item>
    <Item key="copy">Copy</Item>
    <Item key="paste">Paste</Item>
  </Menu>
</MenuTrigger>

<MenuTrigger>
  <ActionButton>
    autoFocus
  </ActionButton>
  <Menu
    selectionMode="single"
    selectedKeys={['copy']}
    autoFocus>
    <Item key="cut">Cut</Item>
    <Item key="copy">Copy</Item>
    <Item key="paste">Paste</Item>
  </Menu>
</MenuTrigger>

<MenuTrigger>
  <ActionButton>
    autoFocus
  </ActionButton>
  <Menu
    selectionMode="single"
    selectedKeys={[
      'copy'
    ]}
    autoFocus>
    <Item key="cut">
      Cut
    </Item>
    <Item key="copy">
      Copy
    </Item>
    <Item key="paste">
      Paste
    </Item>
  </Menu>
</MenuTrigger>

These examples demonstrate how to use autoFocus to set whether or not the first Menu Item or last Menu Item is focused when the Menu is opened.

<MenuTrigger>
  <ActionButton>
      autofocus=first
  </ActionButton>
  <Menu autoFocus="first">
    <Item key="cut">Cut</Item>

Closes on Selection (MenuTrigger)#

The closeOnSelect MenuTrigger prop closes the Menu when an MenuItem is selected (default). Setting the closeOnSelect prop to false would be useful for a Menu listing filtering options where the user would make multiple selections at once.

<MenuTrigger closeOnSelect>

Flipping (MenuTrigger)#

Applying shouldFlip to the MenuTrigger makes the Menu attempt to flip on its main axis in situations where the original placement would cause it to render out of view.

<MenuTrigger shouldFlip>
  <ActionButton>
    shouldFlip=true
  </ActionButton>
  <Menu>
    <Item key="cut">Cut</Item>
    <Item key="copy">Copy</Item>
