Menu

Menu presents a set of actions to perform on the currently visible or selected resource.

#Example

#Usage

#With icon button

There are use cases when a "More" or "Actions" menu is needed to show contextual actions relevant to the currently visible resource. Usually these menus don't actually say "More" or "Actions", but show an icon with three dots in it.

Hightouch UI offers a convenience component specifically for that use case called MenuActionsButton to replace MenuButton with.

If you need to use a custom icon, use MenuIconButton component.

#Secondary

Use this variant to achieve a border around the menu button.

#Badge Menu

Use this variant for badge menus.

#Disabled

The menu button (including actions and icon button) can be disabled.

You can also disable individual menu items, instead of disabling the entire button.

#Controlled vs Uncontrolled

The menu opens and closes automatically when the toggle button is clicked. However, the state may be controlled with the isOpen state.

#Placement

The menu position may be specified using the placement prop. The default is usually the correct option, but in the Journeys canvas the menu may have a centered state.

#Computing the position on mount

The menu renders the popover invisibly on mount. To prevent widening the window unintentionally, the menu computes its position on mount. This may be turned off by using computePositionOnMount.

#Autofocus menu item

To automatically focus a menu item on menu open, use the autofocus prop.

#Combinations

#Guidelines

#When to use it

• When user needs to perform some actions on one or more selected items on the current page.
• As a replacement for button group, when there are too many buttons inside.

#When not to use it

• If menu is used for in-page navigation or replacing part of the page content, use tabs instead.

#Content

• Use sentence case.
• Position dangerous menu items last and add a divider before them.

#Icons

• Only use icons from Hightouch UI.
• Don't override icon size.
• Menus look much better with icons, so try to find an icon that matches each menu item.
• If menu items are too similar in their meaning and would require repeating the same icon, skip icons altogether.
