ContextMenu

A menu surface that opens at a right-click's pointer position, composing Menu's popover styling and role="menu" wiring directly so its rows read and behave exactly like a standard menu's.

Installation

An ordinary dependency: install it, import the theme once, and import the component where it is used.

npm add @sdxc/ui remix

import "@sdxc/ui/theme.css";

Usage

import { ContextMenu } from "@sdxc/ui";

Renders Menu unchanged; positioning against the pointer is handled entirely by the contextMenu() mixin a consuming island applies to ContextMenu.Trigger, while every nested row stays a real, tab-reachable <a> or <button>.

Composition

The parts the component publishes, each a static property of the host.

ContextMenu
ContextMenu.TriggerRenders ContextMenu.TriggerProps.children inside a plain <div>, the area a pointer gesture opens the paired ContextMenu against.
ContextMenu.GroupRenders ContextMenu.GroupProps.children as one labeled run of rows: Section restyled with a divider above every group but the first.
ContextMenu.LabelRenders ContextMenu.LabelProps.children as a ContextMenu.Group's small, muted heading, sized and spaced to sit directly above the group's first row for a dense row of actions.
ContextMenu.SubTriggerRenders a row that opens a nested ContextMenu.SubContent surface: Menu.Item restyled with inline-end padding for a trailing chevron icon; point commandfor at the nested surface's id with command="toggle-popover".
ContextMenu.SubContentRenders a nested surface opened by a ContextMenu.SubTrigger row: ContextMenu itself, defaulting placement to DEFAULT_SUB_PLACEMENT since a nested row conventionally opens beside itself.
ContextMenu.ShortcutRenders ContextMenu.ShortcutProps.children as a row's trailing keyboard-shortcut hint: pushed to the row's inline end, muted, and set in tabular digits so the hints of a column of rows line up.
