## Usage guidelines
- **Use context menus as an enhancement**: Don't make a context menu the only way to perform actions. Users may not discover or be able to open a context menu, especially on touch devices or with assistive technology. Always provide visible controls for the actions that are available in the context menu.
## Anatomy
Import the components and place them together:
```jsx title="Anatomy"
import { ContextMenu } from 'base-ui-solid/context-menu';
;
```
## Examples
[Menu](/solid/components/menu.md#examples) displays additional demos, many of which apply to the context menu as well.
### Using with Menu
A context menu should supplement a primary way to perform the same actions. This image card exposes actions through a visible menu button and reuses them in the context menu for right-click and long-press users.
## Demo
### Tailwind
This example shows how to implement the component using Tailwind CSS.
```tsx
/* index.tsx */
import { untrack, For } from 'solid-js';
import type { JSX } from '@solidjs/web';
import { ContextMenu } from 'base-ui-solid/context-menu';
import { Menu } from 'base-ui-solid/menu';
export default function ContextMenuWithMenuDemo() {
return (
);
}
const actions = ['Preview', 'Download', 'Copy link', 'Rename'];
function SharedMenuItems(props: { type?: 'menu' | 'context-menu' }) {
const Item = untrack(() => (props.type === 'context-menu' ? ContextMenu.Item : Menu.Item));
const Separator = untrack(() =>
props.type === 'context-menu' ? ContextMenu.Separator : Menu.Separator,
);
return (
<>
{(action) => {action}}Delete
);
}
function MoreVertIcon(props: JSX.IntrinsicElements['svg']) {
return (
);
}
```
### Nested menu
To create a submenu, create a `` inside the parent context menu. Use the `` part for the menu item that opens the nested menu.

## API reference
### Root
A component that creates a context menu activated by right clicking or long pressing.
Doesn't render its own HTML element.
**Root Props:**
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| defaultOpen | boolean | `false` | Whether the menu is initially open. To render a controlled menu, use the `open` prop instead. |
| open | boolean | - | Whether the menu is currently open. |
| onOpenChange | ((open: boolean, eventDetails: ContextMenu.Root.ChangeEventDetails) => void) | - | Event handler called when the menu is opened or closed. |
| highlightItemOnHover | boolean | `true` | Whether moving the pointer over items should highlight them. Disabling this prop allows CSS `:hover` to be differentiated from the `:focus` (`data-highlighted`) state. |
| actionsRef | React.RefObject\ | - | A ref to imperative actions. `unmount`: Ends the closing phase of the menu after an externally controlled closing animation finishes. Call `preventUnmountOnClose()` in `onOpenChange` first, otherwise the menu completes closing on its own. Whether it leaves the DOM is decided by `keepMounted` on the portal.`close`: Closes the menu imperatively when called.`highlightItem`: Moves or clears the highlight while the menu is open. `'next'` and `'previous'` move sequentially through the items and wrap unless `loopFocus` is disabled. `'first'` and `'last'` highlight the first or last item. `'none'` clears the highlight and hands focus back to the popup. Calling this action does not open the menu. To highlight an item after opening it, call the action from `onOpenChangeComplete` when `open` is `true`. Highlight changes requested through this action report the reason `'imperative-action'` to `onItemHighlighted`. |
| loopFocus | boolean | `true` | Whether to loop keyboard focus back to the first item when the end of the list is reached while using the arrow keys. |
| onItemHighlighted | ((highlightedItem: HTMLElement \| undefined, eventDetails: MenuRoot.HighlightEventDetails) => void) | - | Callback fired when an item is highlighted or unhighlighted. Receives the highlighted item element (or `undefined` if no item is highlighted) and details containing the reason for the change, the event, and the item's text label. The `reason` can be: `'keyboard'`: the highlight changed due to keyboard navigation.`'pointer'`: the highlight changed due to pointer hovering. The event may be a `MouseEvent` rather than a `PointerEvent`.`'imperative-action'`: the highlight changed via `actionsRef`'s `highlightItem`.`'none'`: the highlight changed for another reason, such as automatic highlighting while filtering, the item list changing, or the popup opening or closing. |
| onOpenChangeComplete | ((open: boolean) => void) | - | Event handler called after any animations complete when the menu is opened or closed. |
| disabled | boolean | `false` | Whether the component should ignore user interaction. |
| orientation | MenuRoot.Orientation | `'vertical'` | The visual orientation of the menu. Controls whether roving focus uses up/down or left/right arrow keys. |
| children | React.ReactNode | - | - |

| disableAnchorTracking | boolean | `false` | Whether to disable the popup from tracking any layout shift of its positioning anchor. |
| align | Align | `'start'` | How to align the popup relative to the specified side. |
| alignOffset | number \| OffsetFunction | - | Additional offset along the alignment axis in pixels. Also accepts a function that returns the offset to read the dimensions of the anchor and positioner elements, along with its side and alignment. The function takes a `data` object parameter with the following properties: `data.anchor`: the dimensions of the anchor element with properties `width` and `height`.`data.positioner`: the dimensions of the positioner element with properties `width` and `height`.`data.side`: which side of the anchor element the positioner is aligned against.`data.align`: how the positioner is aligned relative to the specified side. Defaults to `2` for root context menus when `side` is not specified and `align` is not `'center'`. Otherwise, it defaults to `0`. |
| side | Side | `'bottom'` | Which side of the anchor element to align the popup against. May automatically change to avoid collisions. Submenus default to `'inline-end'`. |
| sideOffset | number \| OffsetFunction | - | Distance between the anchor and the popup in pixels. Also accepts a function that returns the distance to read the dimensions of the anchor and positioner elements, along with its side and alignment. The function takes a `data` object parameter with the following properties: `data.anchor`: the dimensions of the anchor element with properties `width` and `height`.`data.positioner`: the dimensions of the positioner element with properties `width` and `height`.`data.side`: which side of the anchor element the positioner is aligned against.`data.align`: how the positioner is aligned relative to the specified side. Defaults to `-5` for root context menus when `side` is not specified and `align` is not `'center'`. Otherwise, it defaults to `0`. |
| arrowPadding | number | - | Minimum distance to maintain between the arrow and the edges of the popup. Root context menus always use `0`. Submenus default to `5`. |
| anchor | Element \| VirtualElement \| React.RefObject\ \| (() => Element \| VirtualElement \| null) \| null | - | An element to position the popup against. By default, root context menus are positioned at the pointer, and submenus are positioned against their trigger. |
| collisionAvoidance | CollisionAvoidance | - | Determines how to handle collisions when positioning the popup. `side` controls overflow on the preferred placement axis (`top`/`bottom` or `left`/`right`): `'flip'`: keep the requested side when it fits; otherwise try the opposite side (`top` and `bottom`, or `left` and `right`).`'shift'`: never change side; keep the requested side and move the popup within the clipping boundary so it stays visible.`'none'`: do not correct side-axis overflow. `align` controls overflow on the alignment axis (`start`/`center`/`end`): `'flip'`: keep side, but swap `start` and `end` when the requested alignment overflows.`'shift'`: keep side and requested alignment, then nudge the popup along the alignment axis to fit.`'none'`: do not correct alignment-axis overflow. `fallbackAxisSide` controls fallback behavior on the perpendicular axis when the preferred axis cannot fit: `'start'`: allow perpendicular fallback and try the logical start side first (`top` before `bottom`, or `left` before `right` in LTR).`'end'`: allow perpendicular fallback and try the logical end side first (`bottom` before `top`, or `right` before `left` in LTR).`'none'`: do not fallback to the perpendicular axis. When `side` is `'shift'`, explicitly setting `align` only supports `'shift'` or `'none'`. If `align` is omitted, it defaults to `'flip'`. |
| collisionBoundary | Boundary | `'clipping-ancestors'` | An element or a rectangle that delimits the area that the popup is confined to. |
| collisionPadding | Padding | `5` | Additional space to maintain from the edge of the collision boundary. |
