Menu

The Menu is an UI component that displays a list of items vertically. It's commonly used to group related options or actions together. You can use it within various components like Dropdown, Drawer, and Split Button to organize content or actions in a straightforward and accessible way.

There are two ways to use this component:

• by using content projection.
• by using the items prop to define the list of items directly.

info

By default, a Menu will handle automatically the active menu item based on user interaction thanks to the enableAutoActive prop set by default to true.

For the automatic activation to function correctly, all menu items and submenu items must have an id attribute for the features to work properly.

Using content projection

You can pass elements like MenuItem, SubmenuItem, and their associated components with content projection to construct a MenuItemList. This provides enhanced control over the layout and content, allowing for more tailored and flexible menu designs.

Multi-level menu

For menu item with submenu items, a collapsed icon should also be displayed on the right side of menu item label. To select a suitable icon, please refer to the Icon documentation.

Using items prop

You can also use the items prop to generate the menu item list dynamically. This prop has the following format:

type MenuItemType = {
  label: string,
  id: string,
  icon?: string | IconProps,
  children?: [
    {
      label: string,
      id: string,
    }
  ],
};

Single level menu

const items=[
  { label: 'Menu item', id: 'menu1', icon: 'account_circle' },
  { label: 'Menu item', id: 'menu2', icon: 'account_circle' },
  { label: 'Menu item', id: 'menu3', icon: 'account_circle' },
]

<qtm-menu-item-list [items]="items"></qtm-menu-item-list>

Multi-level menu

For menu items that contain submenu items, a collapsed icon will be automatically displayed on the right side of the menu label. When a menu item with a submenu is clicked, the icon will dynamically expand or collapse.

const items=[
  {label: "Menu item", id: "menu1", icon: "account_circle"},
  {label: "Menu item", id: "menu2", icon: "account_circle"},
  {
    label: "Menu item", id: "menu3", icon: "account_circle",
    children: [
      { label: 'Submenu item', id: 'submenu1' },
      { label: 'Submenu item', id: 'submenu2' },
      { label: 'Submenu item', id: 'submenu3' },
    ],
  },
]

<qtm-menu-item-list [items]="items"></qtm-menu-item-list>

Multi-level menu with custom icon

To select an appropriate icon, please consult the Icon component documentation.

You can include an icon in the items property by adding either the icon name or an icon object with the following interface:

interface IconProps = {
  icon: string,
  classes?: string,
  lib?: IconLibType,
  size?: IconSizeType,
  variant?: IconVariantType,
};

const items=[
  {label: "Menu item", id: "menu1", icon: {icon: 'applied_settings', lib:"business"}},
  {label: "Menu item", id: "menu2", icon: {icon: 'applied_settings', lib:"business"}},
  {
    label: "Menu item", id: "menu3",
    icon: { icon: 'applied_settings', lib:"business"}
    children: [
      { label: 'Submenu item', id: 'submenu1' },
      { label: 'Submenu item', id: 'submenu2' },
      { label: 'Submenu item', id: 'submenu3' },
    ],
  },
]

<qtm-menu-item-list [items]="items"></qtm-menu-item-list>

Sizes

The menu item lists come in three size: small, medium (default) and large.

Small

Medium

Large

const items=[{label: "Menu item", id: "menu1", icon: "account_circle"},...]

<qtm-menu-item-list size="small" [items]="items"></qtm-menu-item-list>
<qtm-menu-item-list size="medium" [items]="items"></qtm-menu-item-list>
<qtm-menu-item-list size="large" [items]="items"></qtm-menu-item-list>

Managing items

All the props listed below can be applied directly to the MenuItemList component, either using the children or using the items prop method.

info

All menu item elements and submenu item elements must have an id for the features to work properly.

enableAutoActive

Setting the enableAutoActive prop to true (default value) will automatically activate the active state of both menu items and submenu items when they are clicked or when the activeId prop value has changed.

On the other hand, setting it to false will require manual management of the active state.

const items=[{label: "Menu item", id: "menu1", icon: "account_circle"},...]

<qtm-menu-item-list [items]="items" enableAutoActive="false"></qtm-menu-item-list>

activeId

Set the activeId value to the active menu or submenu item id by default.

const items=[{label: "Menu item", id: "menu1", icon: "account_circle"},...]

<qtm-menu-item-list [items]="items" activeId="menu2"></qtm-menu-item-list>

disabledIds

Set the disabledIds value to a list of ids of disabled menu items or disabled submenu items.

const disabledIds=['menu1', 'submenu2']
const items=[{label: "Menu item", id: "menu1", icon: "account_circle"},...]

<qtm-menu-item-list [items]="items" [disabledIds]="disabledIds"></qtm-menu-item-list>

collapsedIds

Set the collapsedIds value to a list of menu items that don't show their own nested submenu items by default.

const collapsedIds = ['menu3']
const items=[{label: "Menu item", id: "menu1", icon: "account_circle"},...]

<qtm-menu-item-list [items]="items" [collapsedIds]="collapsedIds"></qtm-menu-item-list>

Scrolling

scrollable

If there are more menu items than can be displayed at once, you can make the menu item list scrollable by adding the scrollable attribute to this component. By default, the scrollable menu item list displays the first five menu items and half of the sixth one.

const items=[{label: "Menu item", id: "menu1", icon: "account_circle"},...]

<qtm-menu-item-list [items]="items" scrollable></qtm-menu-item-list>

nbVisibleItems

If you want to change the number of visible items when the menu item list is scrollable, you can change value of the nbVisibleItems prop.

const items=[{label: "Menu item", id: "menu1", icon: "account_circle"},...]

<qtm-menu-item-list [items]="items" scrollable nbVisibleItems="2"></qtm-menu-item-list>

Customization

Add your own classes with the classes prop. This way you will be able to override or extend the styles applied to the component (you can use available utility classes by importing @qtm/css/dist/utilities.css).

const items=[{label: "Menu item", id: "menu1", icon: "account_circle"},...]

<qtm-menu-item-list [items]="items" classes="bg-primary-100"></qtm-menu-item-list>
