Overview

An <sp-menu /> is used for creating a menu list. The various elements inside a menu are given as <sp-menu-group/>, <sp-menu-item />, or <sp-menu-divider />.

Variants

Menu Items

Menus are a collection of <sp-menu-items /> that can be modified to be disabled or selected.

<sp-menu>
    <sp-menu-item>
        Active Menu Item
    </sp-menu-item>
    <sp-menu-item disabled>
        Disabled Menu Item
    </sp-menu-item>
    <sp-menu-item selected>
        Selected Menu Item
    </sp-menu-item>
</sp-menu>

Organization

The content of a menu can be organized by either adding <sp-menu-divider /> elements to a flat list.

<sp-popover open style="position: relative">
    <sp-menu>
        <sp-menu-item>
            Menu Item 1a
        </sp-menu-item>
        <sp-menu-item>
            Menu Item 2a
        </sp-menu-item>
        <sp-menu-divider></sp-menu-divider>
        <sp-menu-item>
            Menu Item 3a
        </sp-menu-item>
        <sp-menu-item>
            Menu Item 1b
        </sp-menu-item>
        <sp-menu-divider></sp-menu-divider>
        <sp-menu-item>
            Menu Item 2b
        </sp-menu-item>
    </sp-menu>
</sp-popover>

Accessibility

<sp-menu />, <sp-menu-group />, and <sp-menu-item /> each deliver a different part of the wai-aria "menu" pattern and support the menu, group, and menuitem roles respectively. To support ease of keyboard navigation, only the first active or first selected <sp-menu-item /> can be accessed in the tab order. Once the focus has entered the menu the up and down arrow keys can be used to access the rest of the menu.
