About Menu

Menu is the lower-level menu primitive that powers many higher-level components. Configure menu items, sections, dividers, and keyboard shortcuts; the component handles arrow-key navigation, escape-to-close, and ARIA roles correctly.

Nested submenus are supported, with consistent open-on-hover-or-click behavior. Menu items can include icons, keyboard shortcut hints, and right-side meta indicators.

When to use it

  • Dropdown action menus on tables and lists.
  • Right-click context menus.
  • User-account menus in nav bars.
  • Filter and sort menus in data views.
