Examples

With submenus

You can create submenus by using ContextMenu.Sub in combination with its parts.

<ContextMenu.Root>
<ContextMenu.Trigger></ContextMenu.Trigger>
<ContextMenu.Portal>
<ContextMenu.Content>
<ContextMenu.Item></ContextMenu.Item>
<ContextMenu.Item></ContextMenu.Item>
<ContextMenu.Separator />
<ContextMenu.Sub>
<ContextMenu.SubTrigger>Sub menu →</ContextMenu.SubTrigger>
<ContextMenu.Portal>
<ContextMenu.SubContent>
<ContextMenu.Item>Sub menu item</ContextMenu.Item>
<ContextMenu.Item>Sub menu item</ContextMenu.Item>
<ContextMenu.Arrow />
</ContextMenu.SubContent>
</ContextMenu.Portal>
</ContextMenu.Sub>
<ContextMenu.Separator />
<ContextMenu.Item></ContextMenu.Item>
</ContextMenu.Content>
</ContextMenu.Portal>
</ContextMenu.Root>

With disabled items

You can add special styles to disabled items via the data-disabled attribute.

// index.jsx
import * as ContextMenu from '@radix-ui/react-context-menu';
import './styles.css';
export default () => (
<ContextMenu.Root>
<ContextMenu.Trigger></ContextMenu.Trigger>
<ContextMenu.Portal>
<ContextMenu.Content>
<ContextMenu.Item className="ContextMenuItem" disabled>
</ContextMenu.Item>
<ContextMenu.Item className="ContextMenuItem"></ContextMenu.Item>
</ContextMenu.Content>
</ContextMenu.Portal>
</ContextMenu.Root>
);
/* styles.css */
.ContextMenuItem[data-disabled] {
color: gainsboro;
}

With separators

Use the Separator part to add a separator between items.

<ContextMenu.Root>
<ContextMenu.Trigger></ContextMenu.Trigger>
<ContextMenu.Portal>
<ContextMenu.Content>
<ContextMenu.Item></ContextMenu.Item>
<ContextMenu.Separator />
<ContextMenu.Item></ContextMenu.Item>
<ContextMenu.Separator />
<ContextMenu.Item></ContextMenu.Item>
</ContextMenu.Content>
</ContextMenu.Portal>
</ContextMenu.Root>

With labels

Use the Label part to help label a section.

<ContextMenu.Root>
<ContextMenu.Trigger></ContextMenu.Trigger>
<ContextMenu.Portal>
<ContextMenu.Content>
<ContextMenu.Label>Label</ContextMenu.Label>
<ContextMenu.Item></ContextMenu.Item>
<ContextMenu.Item></ContextMenu.Item>
<ContextMenu.Item></ContextMenu.Item>
</ContextMenu.Content>
</ContextMenu.Portal>
</ContextMenu.Root>

With checkbox items

Use the CheckboxItem part to add an item that can be checked.

import React from 'react';
import { CheckIcon } from '@radix-ui/react-icons';
import * as ContextMenu from '@radix-ui/react-context-menu';
export default () => {
const [checked, setChecked] = React.useState(true);
return (
<ContextMenu.Root>
<ContextMenu.Trigger></ContextMenu.Trigger>
<ContextMenu.Portal>
<ContextMenu.Content>
<ContextMenu.Item></ContextMenu.Item>
<ContextMenu.Item></ContextMenu.Item>
<ContextMenu.Separator />
<ContextMenu.CheckboxItem checked={checked} onCheckedChange={setChecked} >
<ContextMenu.ItemIndicator>
<CheckIcon />
</ContextMenu.ItemIndicator>
Checkbox item
</ContextMenu.CheckboxItem>
</ContextMenu.Content>
</ContextMenu.Portal>
</ContextMenu.Root>
);
};

With radio items

Use the RadioGroup and RadioItem parts to add an item that can be checked amongst others.

import React from 'react';
import { CheckIcon } from '@radix-ui/react-icons';
import * as ContextMenu from '@radix-ui/react-context-menu';
export default () => {
const [color, setColor] = React.useState('blue');
return (
<ContextMenu.Root>
<ContextMenu.Trigger></ContextMenu.Trigger>
<ContextMenu.Portal>
<ContextMenu.Content>
<ContextMenu.RadioGroup value={color} onValueChange={setColor}>
<ContextMenu.RadioItem value="red">
<ContextMenu.ItemIndicator>
<CheckIcon />
</ContextMenu.ItemIndicator>
Red
</ContextMenu.RadioItem>
<ContextMenu.RadioItem value="blue">
<ContextMenu.ItemIndicator>
<CheckIcon />
</ContextMenu.ItemIndicator>
Blue
</ContextMenu.RadioItem>
<ContextMenu.RadioItem value="green">
<ContextMenu.ItemIndicator>
<CheckIcon />
</ContextMenu.ItemIndicator>
Green
</ContextMenu.RadioItem>
</ContextMenu.RadioGroup>
</ContextMenu.Content>
</ContextMenu.Portal>
</ContextMenu.Root>
);
};

With complex items

You can add extra decorative elements in the Item parts, such as images.

import * as ContextMenu from '@radix-ui/react-context-menu';
export default () => (
<ContextMenu.Root>
<ContextMenu.Trigger></ContextMenu.Trigger>
<ContextMenu.Portal>
<ContextMenu.Content>
<ContextMenu.Item>
<img src="" />
Adolfo Hess
</ContextMenu.Item>
<ContextMenu.Item>
<img src="" />
Miyah Myles
</ContextMenu.Item>
</ContextMenu.Content>
</ContextMenu.Portal>
</ContextMenu.Root>
);

Constrain the content/sub-content size

You may want to constrain the width of the content (or sub-content) so that it matches the trigger (or sub-trigger) width. You may also want to constrain its height to not exceed the viewport.

We expose several CSS custom properties such as --radix-context-menu-trigger-width and --radix-context-menu-content-available-height to support this. Use them to constrain the content dimensions.

// index.jsx
import * as ContextMenu from '@radix-ui/react-context-menu';
import './styles.css';
export default () => (
<ContextMenu.Root>
<ContextMenu.Trigger></ContextMenu.Trigger>
<ContextMenu.Portal>
<ContextMenu.Content className="ContextMenuContent">
</ContextMenu.Content>
</ContextMenu.Portal>
</ContextMenu.Root>
);
/* styles.css */
.ContextMenuContent {
width: var(--radix-context-menu-trigger-width);
max-height: var(--radix-context-menu-content-available-height);
}

Origin-aware animations

We expose a CSS custom property --radix-context-menu-content-transform-origin. Use it to animate the content from its computed origin based on side, sideOffset, align, alignOffset and any collisions.

// index.jsx
import * as ContextMenu from '@radix-ui/react-context-menu';
import './styles.css';
export default () => (
<ContextMenu.Root>
<ContextMenu.Trigger></ContextMenu.Trigger>
<ContextMenu.Portal>
<ContextMenu.Content className="ContextMenuContent">
</ContextMenu.Content>
</ContextMenu.Portal>
</ContextMenu.Root>
);
/* styles.css */
.ContextMenuContent {
transform-origin: var(--radix-context-menu-content-transform-origin);
animation: scaleIn 0.5s ease-out;
}
@keyframes scaleIn {
from {
opacity: 0;
transform: scale(0);
}
to {
opacity: 1;
transform: scale(1);
}
}

Collision-aware animations

We expose data-side and data-align attributes. Their values will change at runtime to reflect collisions. Use them to create collision and direction-aware animations.

// index.jsx
import * as ContextMenu from '@radix-ui/react-context-menu';
import './styles.css';
export default () => (
<ContextMenu.Root>
<ContextMenu.Trigger></ContextMenu.Trigger>
<ContextMenu.Portal>
<ContextMenu.Content className="ContextMenuContent">
</ContextMenu.Content>
</ContextMenu.Portal>
</ContextMenu.Root>
);
/* styles.css */
.ContextMenuContent {
animation-duration: 0.6s;
animation-timing-function: cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1);
}
.ContextMenuContent[data-side='top'] {
animation-name: slideUp;
}
.ContextMenuContent[data-side='bottom'] {
animation-name: slideDown;
}
@keyframes slideUp {
from {
opacity: 0;
transform: translateY(10px);
}
to {
opacity: 1;
transform: translateY(0);
}
}
@keyframes slideDown {
from {
opacity: 0;
transform: translateY(-10px);
}
to {
opacity: 1;
transform: translateY(0);
}
}
