Examples

With submenus

You can create submenus by nesting ContextMenus and using a TriggerItem in place of a Trigger.

<ContextMenu.Root>

  <ContextMenu.Trigger>…</ContextMenu.Trigger>

  <ContextMenu.Content>

    <ContextMenu.Item>…</ContextMenu.Item>

    <ContextMenu.Item>…</ContextMenu.Item>

    <ContextMenu.Separator />

    <ContextMenu.Root>

      <ContextMenu.TriggerItem>Sub menu →</ContextMenu.TriggerItem>

      <ContextMenu.Content>

        <ContextMenu.Item>Sub menu item</ContextMenu.Item>

        <ContextMenu.Item>Sub menu item</ContextMenu.Item>

        <ContextMenu.Arrow />

      </ContextMenu.Content>

    </ContextMenu.Root>

    <ContextMenu.Separator />

    <ContextMenu.Item>…</ContextMenu.Item>

  </ContextMenu.Content>

</ContextMenu.Root>

With disabled items

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

import { styled } from '@stitches/react';

import * as ContextMenu from '@radix-ui/react-context-menu';



const StyledItem = styled(ContextMenu.Item, {

  '&[data-disabled]': { color: 'gainsboro' },

});



export default () => (

  <ContextMenu.Root>

    <ContextMenu.Trigger>…</ContextMenu.Trigger>

    <ContextMenu.Content>

      <StyledItem disabled>…</StyledItem>

      <StyledItem>…</StyledItem>

      <StyledItem>…</StyledItem>

    </ContextMenu.Content>

  </ContextMenu.Root>

);

With separators

Use the Separator part to add a separator between items.

<ContextMenu.Root>

  <ContextMenu.Trigger>…</ContextMenu.Trigger>

  <ContextMenu.Content>

    <ContextMenu.Item>…</ContextMenu.Item>

    <ContextMenu.Separator />

    <ContextMenu.Item>…</ContextMenu.Item>

    <ContextMenu.Separator />

    <ContextMenu.Item>…</ContextMenu.Item>

  </ContextMenu.Content>

</ContextMenu.Root>

With labels

Use the Label part to help label a section.

<ContextMenu.Root>

  <ContextMenu.Trigger>…</ContextMenu.Trigger>

  <ContextMenu.Content>

    <ContextMenu.Label>Label</ContextMenu.Label>

    <ContextMenu.Item>…</ContextMenu.Item>

    <ContextMenu.Item>…</ContextMenu.Item>

    <ContextMenu.Item>…</ContextMenu.Item>

  </ContextMenu.Content>

</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.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.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.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.Root>

  );

};

With complex items

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

import { styled } from '@stitches/react';

import * as ContextMenu from '@radix-ui/react-context-menu';



const Image = styled('img', {

  width: 24,

  height: 24,

});



export default () => (

  <ContextMenu.Root>

    <ContextMenu.Trigger>…</ContextMenu.Trigger>

    <ContextMenu.Content>

      <ContextMenu.Item>

        <Image src="…" />

        Adolfo Hess

      </ContextMenu.Item>

      <ContextMenu.Item>

        <Image src="…" />

        Miyah Myles

      </ContextMenu.Item>

      <ContextMenu.Item>

        <Image src="…" />

        Sylvia Reynolds

      </ContextMenu.Item>

    </ContextMenu.Content>

  </ContextMenu.Root>

);

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.

import { styled, keyframes } from '@stitches/react';

import * as ContextMenu from '@radix-ui/react-context-menu';



const scaleIn = keyframes({

  '0%': { opacity: 0, transform: 'scale(0)' },

  '100%': { opacity: 1, transform: 'scale(1)' },

});



const StyledContent = styled(ContextMenu.Content, {

  transformOrigin: 'var(--radix-context-menu-content-transform-origin)',

  animation: `${scaleIn} 0.5s ease-out`,

});



export default () => (

  <ContextMenu.Root>

    <ContextMenu.Trigger>…</ContextMenu.Trigger>

    <StyledContent>…</StyledContent>

  </ContextMenu.Root>

);

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.

import { styled, keyframes } from '@stitches/react';

import * as ContextMenu from '@radix-ui/react-context-menu';



const slideDown = keyframes({

  '0%': { opacity: 0, transform: 'translateY(-10px)' },

  '100%': { opacity: 1, transform: 'translateY(0)' },

});



const slideUp = keyframes({

  '0%': { opacity: 0, transform: 'translateY(10px)' },

  '100%': { opacity: 1, transform: 'translateY(0)' },

});



const StyledContent = styled(ContextMenu.Content, {

  animationDuration: '0.6s',

  animationTimingFunction: 'cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1)',

  '&[data-side="top"]': { animationName: slideUp },

  '&[data-side="bottom"]': { animationName: slideDown },

});



export default () => (

  <ContextMenu.Root>

    <ContextMenu.Trigger>…</ContextMenu.Trigger>

    <StyledContent>…</StyledContent>

  </ContextMenu.Root>

);
