Description

An <sp-action-menu> is simply an action button with a Popover. 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.

Usage

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';

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';

Variants

No visible label

The visible label that is be provided via the default <slot> interface can be ommitted in preference of an icon only interface. In this context be sure that the <sp-action-menu> remains accessible to screen readers by applying the label attribute. This will apply an aria-label attribute of the same value to the <botton> element that toggles the menu list.

<sp-action-menu label="More Actions">
    <sp-menu>
        <sp-menu-item>
            Deselect
        </sp-menu-item>
        <sp-menu-item>
            Select inverse
        </sp-menu-item>
        <sp-menu-item>
            Feather...
        </sp-menu-item>
        <sp-menu-item>
            Select and mask...
        </sp-menu-item>
        <sp-menu-divider></sp-menu-divider>
        <sp-menu-item>
            Save selection
        </sp-menu-item>
        <sp-menu-item disabled>
            Make work path
        </sp-menu-item>
    </sp-menu>
</sp-action-menu>

Alternate icon

A custom icon can be supplied via the icon slot in order to replace the default meatballs icon.

<sp-action-menu label="More actions">
    <sp-icon slot="icon" size="xxs" name="ui:ChevronDownSmall"></sp-icon>
    <span slot="label">Actions Under the Arrow</span>
    <sp-menu>
        <sp-menu-item>
            Deselect
        </sp-menu-item>
        <sp-menu-item>
            Select inverse
        </sp-menu-item>
        <sp-menu-item>
            Feather...
        </sp-menu-item>
        <sp-menu-item>
            Select and mask...
        </sp-menu-item>
        <sp-menu-divider></sp-menu-divider>
        <sp-menu-item>
            Save selection
        </sp-menu-item>
        <sp-menu-item disabled>
            Make work path
        </sp-menu-item>
    </sp-menu>
</sp-action-menu>

Accessibility

An sp-action-menu parent will ensure that the wrapped sp-menu features a role of menu and contains children with the role menuitem. Upon focusing the sp-action-menu using ArrowDown will also open the menu while throwing focus into first selected (or unselected when none are selected) menu item for easy selecting of a new value.
