        </ContextMenu.Positioner>
    </ContextMenu.Portal>
</ContextMenu.Root>

Behavior#

Checkbox Items#

Set type="checkbox" on ContextMenu.Item to create a toggleable item. Use ContextMenu.Indicator with match="checked" to display a checkmark when the item is active.

<ContextMenu.Item type="checkbox" defaultChecked={true}>
    <ContextMenu.Indicator match="checked">
        <Check />
    </ContextMenu.Indicator>
    Enable Notifications
</ContextMenu.Item>

Radio Items#

Wrap ContextMenu.Item elements with type="radio" inside a ContextMenu.RadioGroup. Use ContextMenu.Indicator with match="checked" to display a dot or icon for the selected option.

<ContextMenu.RadioGroup defaultValue="light">
    <ContextMenu.Item type="radio" value="light">
        <ContextMenu.Indicator match="checked">
            <Dot />
        </ContextMenu.Indicator>
        Light Mode
    </ContextMenu.Item>
    <ContextMenu.Item type="radio" value="dark">
        <ContextMenu.Indicator match="checked">
            <Dot />
        </ContextMenu.Indicator>
        Dark Mode
    </ContextMenu.Item>
</ContextMenu.RadioGroup>

Motion Animation#

<ContextMenu.Popup motionProps={{ name: 'p-anchored-overlay' }}></ContextMenu.Popup>

See Motion for animation phases, CSS variables, and hide strategies.

Polymorphic Rendering#

Use as on any sub-component to change the rendered HTML element.

<ContextMenu.Item as="a" href="/dashboard">
    Dashboard
</ContextMenu.Item>

Default elements: Root=div, Trigger=div, List=ul, Item=li, Sub=li, SubTrigger=div, SubPositioner=div, SubPopup=div, Label=li, Separator=li, Indicator=span, Popup=div, Positioner=div, Arrow=div, RadioGroup=div, Portal=portal, SubPortal=portal.

Render Function Children#

Item and SubTrigger accept a render function as children, providing access to the component instance.

<ContextMenu.Item>{(instance) => <span>{instance.focused ? 'Focused' : 'Idle'}</span>}</ContextMenu.Item>

Pass Through#

Screen Reader#

ContextMenu component uses the menu role and the value to describe the menu can either be provided with aria-labelledby or aria-label props. Each list item has a menuitem role with aria-label referring to the label of the item and aria-disabled defined if the item is disabled. Checkbox items use menuitemcheckbox and radio items use menuitemradio roles with aria-checked to indicate selection state.

The component implicitly manages the aria-expanded, aria-haspopup and aria-controls attributes of the trigger element to define the relation between the trigger and the popup.
