An <sp-action-menu> is an action button that triggers an overlay with <sp-menu-items> for activation. Use an <sp-menu> element to outline the items that will be made available to the user when interacting with the <sp-action-menu> element. By default <sp-action-menu> does not manage a selection. If you'd like for a selection to be held by the <sp-menu> that is presented in its overlay, use selects="single" to activate this functionality.
yarn add @spectrum-web-components/action-menu
Import the side effectful registration of <sp-action-menu> via:
import '@spectrum-web-components/action-menu/sp-action-menu.js';
The default of <sp-action-menu> will load dependencies in @spectrum-web-components/overlay asynchronously via a dynamic import. In the case that you would like to import those tranverse dependencies statically, import the side effectful registration of <sp-action-menu> as follows:
import '@spectrum-web-components/action-menu/sync/sp-action-menu.js';
When looking to leverage the ActionMenu base class as a type and/or for extension purposes, do so via:
import { ActionMenu } from '@spectrum-web-components/action-menu';
