#### Action Menus are contextual menus that let the user chose and execute actions from a list.

### 👍 Dos

- Use _isDangerous_ for destructive actions that delete data or lead to a state that is hard to recover. Danger buttons should always have a confirmation dialog.

### 👎 Don'ts

- It's OK to hide the caret when using the OptionsDots icon, but avoid otherwise. It's important to signify that this button behaves differently than normal ones.

Using button variations

```js
const options = [
  {
    label: 'Open pod doors, HAL',
    onClick: () => alert('I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.'),
  },
  {
    label: 'Have you heard about the word?',
    onClick: () => alert('sure, everybody knows that the bird is the word...'),
  },
  {
    label: 'I\'m a poor disabled option',
    disabled: true,
  },
  {
    label: 'Quit now and cake will be served',
    isDangerous: 'true',
    onClick: () => alert('The cake is a lie'),
  },
]

;<div className="flex">
  <div className="flex flex-column">
    <div className="ma3">
      <ActionMenu

        buttonProps={{
          variation: 'primary',
        }}
