jquery.ui-contextmenu

A jQuery plugin that provides a context menu (based on the standard jQueryUI menu widget).

Define menus from <ul> element or definition list (i.e. [{title: "Paste", cmd: "paste"}, ...]).
Themable using jQuery ThemeRoller.
Supports delegation (i.e. can be bound to elements that don't exist at the time the context menu is initialized).
Optional support for touch devices.

Status

The latest release is available at npm Registry:

$ npm install ui-contextmenu

Getting Started

First, include dependencies:

jQuery 1.7+ (1.10 or later recommended)
jQuery UI 1.9+ (at least core, widget, menu), 1.11+ recommended
One of the ThemeRoller CSS themes or a custom one
jquery.ui-contextmenu.js (also available as CDN on jsDelivr, cdnjs, or UNPKG)

<head>
    <link href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script>
    <script src="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
    <script src="assets/jquery.ui-contextmenu.min.js"></script>

Assume we have some HTML elements that we want to attach a popup menu to:

<div id="container">
    <div class="hasmenu">AAA</div>
    <div class="hasmenu">BBB</div>
    <div class="hasmenu">CCC</div>
</div>

Now we can enable a context menu like so:

$("#container").contextmenu({
	delegate: ".hasmenu",
	menu: [
		{title: "Copy", cmd: "copy", uiIcon: "ui-icon-copy"},
		{title: "----"},
		{title: "More", children: [
			{title: "Sub 1", cmd: "sub1"},
			{title: "Sub 2", cmd: "sub1"}
			]}
		],
	select: function(event, ui) {
		alert("select " + ui.cmd + " on " + ui.target.text());
	}
});

Alternatively we can initialize the menu from embedded <ul> markup.
