Description​

Optional. A set of menu options

Usage​

options?: {
  id?: string | number;
  text?: string;
  subtext?: string;
  handler?: (ev: IMenuOptionClick) => void;
  data?: IMenuOption[];
  css?: string;
  icon?: string;
  type?: string | React.ComponentType<any>; // @deprecated use `comp` instead. Will be removed in v3.0 
  comp?: string | React.ComponentType<any>;
}[];

Parameters​

A menu item object in the options array may contain a set of properties. The list of available properties is given below:

  • id - (optional) the id of a menu item
  • text - (optional) the text of a menu item
  • subtext - (optional) a dimmed text displayed to the right of the main item's text, such as a hot key or other additional info
  • icon - (optional) the name of an icon displayed before the text. It converts to adding <i className={item.icon}>, so any icons with the wxi- prefix can be used here, e.g. ".wxi-plus" or any customer icons defined on the page. Read more about the usage of icons
  • css- (optional) the name of a CSS class that will be applied to an item
  • type - (optional) the type of an item. It can be a predefined string such as "separator" or a custom React component to render a menu item in place of the default renderer. Will be removed in SVAR 3.0 so use comp instead
  • data - (optional) an array of sub items for a menu item. Used to create a tree-like menu structure; the same as options
  • handler - (optional) a click handler function for the menu item. It receives an object with the parameters described here: onclick
  • comp - (optional) the component used to render the menu item. It can be the name of a built-in component (string) or a custom React component reference

Example​

// React example
import { Menu } from "@svar-ui/react-core";

// custom component for rendering a menu item
const CustomItem = (props) => {
  return <div className="custom-item">⭐ {props.text}</div>;
};

// plain structure + custom types/components
const options = [
  { id: "add-task:child", text: "Child task" },
  { id: "add-task:above", text: "Task above" },
  { id: "add-task:below", text: "Task below" },
  { type: "separator" }, // predefined string type
  { id: "special", text: "Special action", comp: CustomItem }, // custom component
];

<Menu options={options} />

Details​

The Menu widget can have a more complex tree-like structure. Here's an example:

// tree-like structure
const options = [
  {
    id: "add-task",
    text: "Add",
    icon: "wxi wxi-plus",
    data: [
      { id: "child", text: "Child task" },
      { id: "above", text: "Task above" },
      { id: "below", text: "Task below" },
    ],
  },
];

<Menu options={options} />
