              <Icon icon="radix-icons:check" />

With complex items

You can add extra decorative elements in the Item parts, such as images.

vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import { ContextMenuContent, ContextMenuItem, ContextMenuPortal, ContextMenuRoot, ContextMenuTrigger } from 'radix-vue'
</script>

<template>
  <ContextMenuRoot>
    <ContextMenuTrigger></ContextMenuTrigger>
    <ContextMenuPortal>
      <ContextMenuContent>
        <ContextMenuItem>
          <img src="">
          Adolfo Hess
        </ContextMenuItem>
        <ContextMenuItem>
          <img src="">
          Miyah Myles
        </ContextMenuItem>
      </ContextMenuContent>
    </ContextMenuPortal>
  </ContextMenuRoot>
</template>

Constrain the content/sub-content size

You may want to constrain the width of the content (or sub-content) so that it matches the trigger (or sub-trigger) width. You may also want to constrain its height to not exceed the viewport.

We expose several CSS custom properties such as --radix-context-menu-trigger-width and --radix-context-menu-content-available-height to support this. Use them to constrain the content dimensions.

vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import { ContextMenuContent, ContextMenuItem, ContextMenuPortal, ContextMenuRoot, ContextMenuTrigger } from 'radix-vue'
</script>

<template>
  <ContextMenuRoot>
    <ContextMenuTrigger></ContextMenuTrigger>
    <ContextMenuPortal>
      <ContextMenuContent class="ContextMenuContent">

      </ContextMenuContent>
    </ContextMenuPortal>
  </ContextMenuRoot>
</template>
css
/* styles.css */
.ContextMenuContent {
  width: var(--radix-context-menu-trigger-width);
  max-height: var(--radix-context-menu-content-available-height);
}

Origin-aware animations

We expose a CSS custom property --radix-context-menu-content-transform-origin. Use it to animate the content from its computed origin based on side, sideOffset, align, alignOffset and any collisions.

vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import { ContextMenuContent, ContextMenuPortal, ContextMenuRoot, ContextMenuTrigger } from 'radix-vue'
</script>

<template>
  <ContextMenuRoot>
    <ContextMenuTrigger></ContextMenuTrigger>
    <ContextMenuPortal>
      <ContextMenuContent class="ContextMenuContent">

      </ContextMenuContent>
    </ContextMenuPortal>
  </ContextMenuRoot>
</template>
css
/* styles.css */
.ContextMenuContent {
  transform-origin: var(--radix-context-menu-content-transform-origin);
  animation: scaleIn 0.5s ease-out;
}

@keyframes scaleIn {
  from {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: scale(0);
  }
  to {
    opacity: 1;
    transform: scale(1);
  }
}

Collision-aware animations

We expose data-side and data-align attributes. Their values will change at runtime to reflect collisions. Use them to create collision and direction-aware animations.

vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import { ContextMenuContent, ContextMenuPortal, ContextMenuRoot, ContextMenuTrigger } from 'radix-vue'
</script>

<template>
  <ContextMenuRoot>
    <ContextMenuTrigger></ContextMenuTrigger>
    <ContextMenuPortal>
      <ContextMenuContent class="ContextMenuContent">

      </ContextMenuContent>
    </ContextMenuPortal>
  </ContextMenuRoot>
</template>
css
/* styles.css */
.ContextMenuContent {
  animation-duration: 0.6s;
  animation-timing-function: cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1);
}
.ContextMenuContent[data-side="top"] {
  animation-name: slideUp;
}
.ContextMenuContent[data-side="bottom"] {
  animation-name: slideDown;
}

@keyframes slideUp {
  from {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: translateY(10px);
  }
  to {
    opacity: 1;
    transform: translateY(0);
  }
}

@keyframes slideDown {
  from {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: translateY(-10px);
  }
  to {
    opacity: 1;
    transform: translateY(0);
  }
}

Accessibility

Uses roving tabindex to manage focus movement among menu items.
