The following example shows a few different states of menu items, where they may: - Use the `itemId` property to link to callbacks. In this example, the `onSelect` property logs information to the console when a menu item is selected. In practice, specific actions can be linked to `onSelect` callbacks. - Use the `to` property to direct users to other resources or webpages after selecting a menu item, and the `onClick` property to pass in a callback for specific menu items. - Use the `isDisabled` property to disable a menu item. - Use the `isPlain` property to remove the outer box shadow and style the menu plainly instead. ```ts file="MenuBasic.tsx" ``` ### Danger menu item To indicate that a `` is connected to a potentially destructive action, use the `isDanger` property. The "Delete" item in the following example demonstrates how danger items look. ```ts file="MenuDangerMenuItem.tsx" ``` ### With icons Use the `icon` property to add a familiar icon before a `` to accelerate text label recognition. ```ts file="MenuWithIcons.tsx" ``` ### With actions To connect a menu item to an action icon, add a `` to a ``, and use the `icon` property to load an easily recognizable icon. To trigger an action when any menu action icon is selected, pass a callback to the `onActionClick` property of the ``. The following example logs to the console any time any action icon is selected. To trigger an action when a specific item's action icon is selected, pass in the `onClick` property to that ``. The following example logs "clicked on code icon" to the console when the "code" icon is selected. ```ts file="MenuWithActions.tsx" ``` ### With links Use the `to` property to add a link to a `` that directs users to a new page when the item is selected. Use the `isExternalLink` property when linking to external resources. This will annotate a menu item link with an external link icon when they navigate to the link or hover over it, as well as add `target="_blank"` so that the link opens in a new tab or window. ```ts file="MenuWithLinks.tsx" ``` ### With descriptions Use the `description` property to add short descriptive text below any menu item that needs additional context. ```ts file="MenuWithDescription.tsx" ``` ### Item checkbox Use the `hasCheck` property to add a checkbox to a ``. Use the `isSelected` property to indicate when a `` is selected. ```ts file="./MenuWithCheckbox.tsx" ``` ### Menu footer Add a `` that contains separate, but related actions at the bottom of a menu. ```ts file="MenuWithFooter.tsx" ``` ### Separated items Use a [divider](/components/divider) to visually separate ``. Use the `component` property to specify the type of divider component to use. ```ts file="MenuWithSeparators.tsx" ``` ### Titled groups of items Add a `` to organize `` and use the `label` property to title a group of menu items. Use the `labelHeadingLevel` property to assign a heading level to the menu group label. ```ts file="MenuWithTitledGroups.tsx" ``` ### With favorites The following menu example allows users to favorite menu items, an action that duplicates a menu item and places it in a separate group at the top of the menu. The `isFavorited` property identifies items that a user has favorited. ```ts file="MenuWithFavorites.tsx" ``` ### Filtering with search input A [search input](/components/search-input) component can be placed within `` and `` to render a search input at the top of the menu. In the following example, the `onChange` property of the text input is passed a callback that filters menu items as a user types. ```ts file="MenuFilteringWithSearchInput.tsx" ``` ### Option single select menu The following example demonstrates a single option select menu that persists a selected menu item. Use the `selected` property on the `` to label a selected item with a checkmark. You can also use the `isSelected` property on a `` to indicate that it is selected. You must also use the `role` property on the `` with a value of `"listbox"` when using a non-checkbox select menu. ```ts file="MenuOptionSingleSelect.tsx" ``` ### Option multi select menu To persist multiple selections that a user makes, use a multiple option select menu. To enable multi select, pass an array containing each selected `itemId` to the `selected` property on the ``, and pass the `isAriaMultiselectable` property on the ``. Similar to a single select menu, you must also pass `role="listbox"` to the ``. ```ts file="MenuOptionMultiSelect.tsx" ``` ### Scrollable menus Use the `isScrollable` property to make a long `` scrollable and visually condensed. ```ts file="MenuScrollable.tsx" ``` ### Scrollable menu with custom height Adjust the visual size of a scrollable menu by using the `menuHeight` property within ``. This example adjusts the height to 200px. ```ts file="MenuScrollableCustomMenuHeight.tsx" ``` ### With view more If you want to initially render only a certain number of menu items within a large menu, you can add a "view more" menu item with a callback passed into its `onClick` property that will render additional menu items. In this example, 3 additional menu items are revealed each time the "view more" option is selected, with a loading icon simulating a network call to fetch more items. After all items are visible, the "view more" link disappears. ```ts file="MenuWithViewMore.tsx" ``` ### With drilldown Use a drilldown menu to contain different levels of menu items. When a parent menu item (an item that has a submenu of children) is selected, the menu is replaced with the children items. - To indicate that a menu contains a drilldown, use the `containsDrilldown` property. - To indicate the path of drilled-in menu item ids, use the `drilldownItemPath` property. - Pass in an array of drilled-in menus with the `drilledInMenus` property. - Use the `onDrillIn` and `onDrillOut` properties to contain callbacks for drilling into and drilling out of a submenu, respectively. - To account for updated heights as menus drill in and out of use, use the `onGetMenuHeight` property. When starting from a drilled-in state, the `onGetMenuHeight` property must define the height of the root menu. ```ts file="./MenuWithDrilldown.tsx" ``` ### Initially drilled-in menu To render an initially drilled-in menu, the `drilldownItemPath`, `drilledInMenus`, and `activeMenu` properties must be set to default values. ```ts file="./MenuWithDrilldownInitialState.tsx" ``` ### With drilldown - submenu functions For added flexibility with large menus, you may create a menu by passing a function to `drilldownMenu`. This approach allows you to create menu items dynamically, rather than creating everything up front. ```ts file="./MenuWithDrilldownSubmenuFunctions.tsx" ``` ### With drilldown breadcrumbs Use [breadcrumbs](/components/breadcrumb) when a drilldown menu has more than 2 levels to offer users better navigation. To control the height of a menu, use the `maxMenuHeight` property. Selecting the "Set max menu height" checkbox in the following example sets the menu height to "100px" and makes the menu scrollable. ```ts file="MenuWithDrilldownBreadcrumbs.tsx" ``` ### With drilldown and inline filter ```ts file="MenuFilterDrilldown.tsx" ``` ## Using router links Router links can be used for in-app linking in React environments to prevent page reloading. To use a `Link` component from a router package, you can pass a callback to the `component` property of the `MenuItem`: ```nolive } > {...Link Content} ```
